Found a Platinum C

[Troy Goldreyer]

Hello All,

I'm new to the group. Found you guys while researching how to refurb the Silver C I purchased in 2000. I came across this Platinum (2000-2001?) today while looking for donor grills and now think I may pick it up as a second project. I welcome your opinions on the condition and value of this Platinum. Thanks in advance.

I think I've been bitten by the donor grill search/hoarding bug...

Happy to be here!

Troy,
That style Weber is my favorite of the series with their thick frames and wide shelves.

Check out some of my past posts to get some ideas regarding restoration.

I am with Jeff that those are extra cool Webers, and the particular one you got is my personal favorite. You just need a little more room to accomodate those big “wing” side tables!

Deep box without two rows of flavorizers. If you can find a bad x000 with a good cook box, swap the boxes and fill it with the much easier to find 13 bar sets. if someone were to deliver one of these great "fat frame" grills to me that would be the first thing I'd do.....

You can still get the 5 large Flavorizer Bars part #9913 from rcplanebuyer on ebay if that Cook Box is in decent shape.

That's an awesome grill and would be a great project. It would be hard for me to pass it up

Great find there!

Yeah, it's funny that Weber discontinued those flavorizer bars. I've seen a couple other aftermarket sources for them, but not cheap enough to buy over RCplanebuyer. I actually just threw away a used set of Weber 9913 flavorizer bars that I ran in my Genesis 1000 for years. I bought them open box from Ace hardware for like $25. I never really noticed a difference between them and a 13 bar set to be honest.
