As now.

Very nice!!

It was really good and had little use when I got it, but a few (tray, ignition panel, flavorizer bars, warming rack, etc.) parts were missing. Really fun to use, with ample tables, quick warm up, but I do miss the casters......
The missing tray was on the right side and I already had another. The tray I added on the left was just begging to be added

How many grills do you have up there?

 

[Eric-NH]

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.”

Oh man. Define cheap

Are you sure???? I swear I can see at Burgundy/ maroon colored kettle in the corner of a picture.

I lied! Think ive got a problem!

 

[Josh Dekubber]

I lied! Think ive got a problem!

I know you've got other grills hiding somewhere!

If you have a problem that's a good problem to have!

 

[Bruce]

Yah, just like the alcoholic that tries to hide the bottle in under the sink.

 

[Cody Bratton]

I lost my bottle, going to go check under the sink

 

[Bruce]

Cody, if that doesn't work, check in all of your grills. A genesis will hold an entire case of long necks without the grates.

Happy Days!

I have been looking for one of these grills for over two years and I have been scouring the country to get a nice one. Several have popped up (none close by), but they were less than stellar examples of the breed.They only made these for 3-4 years or so I understand.

I know several have said "get yourself a Silver A, they are a much better 2 burner grill".

But they don't have that charisma...wood shelves, classic double layer Flavorizer bars...that,I wanna be a Genesis when I get big mentality.

They, about a year and a half ago, I caught this post on reddit-...

Thank you for sharing! I forgot about this one Jeff. It's hard to keep track of everything.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

Serviced and cleaned some of my old NG valves. Ready to bring to AZ to convert my Junior. I know I only need 2 but Bringing an extra, why not.

Good call Steve on the cleaning!

 

[Cody Bratton]

Holy buckets! Gold plated valves?! Those look awesome!
