Genesis Gold Part 2

[Bruce]

Hmmmm, I was wrong. What Josh posted shows the snap in rack was 2000 as well. Maybe just on the Golds.

By end cap, I was referring to the aluminum lid end caps.

Thanks Josh, a 2000 it is!

 

[Josh Dekubber]

I'd say as long as you're date stamps aren't later than 2000

That's what threw me off. I assumed the snap in rack didn't come out until 2002.

They're way too dirty to see it at the moment.

 

[Steve Hoch]

I'm definitely interested to see you work your way through one that's not as easy as the last one!

And you scored a propane tank nice!

That last one was a layup for sure, few and far between. This one is closer to what I'm used to unfortunately. The good news is that I really am planning on using this one so my expectations aren't as high on the outcome this time.

I think both are kind of nice in their own way whether they need a lot of attention or not as much

The great thing about the ones that are really rough and need everything is the transformation to sit back and look at it in the very end and be proud of what you've accomplished

Absolutely, this one will be no different and there's going to be an added bonus. Any of the new parts I have to buy will go on the other Genesis Gold which will make that one all the better.

That's exactly what I do!

Great minds think alike

Since I need both of the drip trays, this combo that Bruce posted looks pretty good.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9MCN8YL?tag=tvwb-20

 

[Steve Hoch]

I didn't have to do this on the other grill since it was so much cleaner. I assume this is the proper way to take these tables apart for a deep cleaning?

 

[Steve Hoch]

I'm glad I took a picture of how this is supposed to look when it's put back together, kind of a big mess.

 

[Steve Hoch]

So yeah, this is going to take a while and I'm going to need some good weather to do it. I've got a pretty good idea where I'm at now. Both end caps are stuck in the frame on one side. Nice.

 

[Steve Hoch]

And this is a new one on me. One of the nuts is spinning the bolt that holds the tank scale on. I hope there's a way to get it apart without it being off the grill or I don't know what I'm going to do there.

 

[Ed P]

One approach is to split the nut with a Dremel and a thin cutoff wheel.

Thanks Ed, I may have to give that a shot.

That’s what I do. I don’t like the thought of soaking it with that bracket on.
