I am new to these boards - very happy to have found such an informative and interesting resource. I'm looking at what I think is a Genesis 1000 LX, available for $50 locally. (Pic posted) Already know it's missing a wheel and needs an igniter, plus a good cleaning and probably a paint job on the firebox. (Who knows what else I'll find once i take it apart?) Can anyone tell me if these grates and FBs are salvageable? I'm just not savvy enough (yet!) to know by looking.

To be honest, I've never really been a very handy guy - but on the few occasions that I have completed a household project without needing help from my father-in-law, it's been a real source of pride for me. And after poring over so many of the restoration threads here I'm eager to try one of my own. With such a wealth of experience available at the touch of a button, I'm confident I can get this done. I can almost smell the steak sizzling already...
Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide!
