Genesis Jr Restoration

[Steve Hoch]

I find it amazing how you find so many of these off beat grills. I've only seen one Jr in my life in person and that was in a store. Never once in the wild

At least you can say you have seen one. I never have except for here.

 

[Bruce]

I have grabbed a couple, but never rehabbed either. I pushed them off on Jon.

 

[Bruce]

This was was in great shape. Had the original owners manual, grill cover, rotisserie and the handle was in exceptional shape.

 

[Cody Bratton]

That cover is in remarkable shape!

I’ve seen one in person and to this day regret not throwing it in the Weber Wagon

If you happen to come across another one like that feel free to push it off on me!!

 

[Bruce]

It won't fit in a large flat rate shipping box!

Oh I'll be happy to come and get it

That one has a safe place in my garage. It is overdue for a grilling session. The cover is a gem, and I recently picked up a matching one for a Genesis 1.

Jon, did you ever sell that junior you restored?

What Jr grills do you currently have?

 

[Jon Tofte]

I have the one Bruce posted, which is a keeper. An unrestored survivor:

I also have an unassembled redhead that I want to sell.


And then there was the Genesis XX that I worked so hard to restore and after months of trying to sell, wound up selling cheap to a young woman who had no clue about its historical significance and just thought it was “cute.”

That's some really cool stuff Jon! Thank you for sharing!

Is it currently up for sale? If I lived close by I would want to buy it off you.

What other juniors are out there? Anyone else have Juniors they can share pictures of?

I know I'm missing some others.

Black knobs rule.

I would definitely like to pick up another original black knob

All of the pics from my 3-burner build are here: 3-burner Jr. Project

Here are a couple snaps from when I tried on new hats:

Lord Vader Edition:

Skyline Edition:

I also picked up a black one that was listed as a curb-alert on FB. I've since passed that one along to a TVWBB member in PA to rehab:

 

[Cody Bratton]

Skyline series Jr is awesome!

Definitely VERY sweet! I wish I had the ability to do that.
