Wow Jeff that grill looks factory fresh! Very nice! How long ago did you finish this one? I've been considering buying a Green Platinum lid. I definitely want to add a platinum to my collection.

Josh,
I did this one back in 2016. This is my "keeper" grill and get used daily.

The time has come to start the restoration of my 1996 Genesis Platinum Series II. I have my 4900 to keep me cooking so I have plenty of time to finish the job.

It came apart pretty easily as the Oversized Summit series frame used on the Platinum II is a much nicer setup than the Genesis frame with the interior bolt holder that always seem to turn to rust powder as the years progress. The Summit frame has welded tabs to the square stock that are...

I've only been on this Forum since June 10, 2024 so I've missed a lot of good stuff. I've spent a lot of time going back and looking at old posts but I'm sure I've missed a ton of good stuff.

Frozen Pizza in the Jr. Turned out great! I learned I can run it hotter than my newer Webers because the deep box has the burners farther away. So next time I'll run it hotter.

Could be. I found that with a bunch of older pictures I had saved a while back.
Is it restored now?

If it's in good shape it's definitely a very cool lid!

It's in great condition, just not my first or second color choice.
The frame from the 98 platinum was used to give new life to a 90 or maybe 91 Genesis 3.

The burgundy isn't my first or second choice either but I know it's definitely loved by others. I don't see a lot of them though and I do think that makes it kind of cool

I'll chip in on it for Steve if he wants it.
