Genesis Platinum B/C

[Cody Bratton]

I’d be interested to see it with a black control panel.

I had one, but I cannot seem to find it. I hope I did not include it, when I put a grill to the curb.

New family pic. Now that I did the redhead lid swap do I see the potential for a Platinum 1000?

And to think my family makes fin of me. I've got one gas grill (working not counting the Q220 red head in my back garage), 2 pellet grills and a tiny coal burner I don't use and of course the Ninja but IDK if I should count it because you plug it in

 

[Samuel]

The blue platinum is my go-to. I wanted another platinum and could not find one, so I built the silver b. I wanted a silver A and could not find one so I acquired the q200. Then I found my silver A and my second platinum. Now that I have what I want I want concentrate on completing them.

What are you going to do to them?

What are you going to do to them?

I need to clean and repaint the some of the lid end caps and cook boxes.
I need to clean SS frames.
I need to clean and paint some for the wire bottom racks.
I have not decided if I want to wire wheel or sandblast the cook boxes yet. $$ is a factor.
I will also need burners, flavor bars and drip trays.
I will not come anywhere near pristine to rehab jobs you, Cody, Bruce and Josh do, but thats okay.
I hope to get pavers and mats all around.
I hope to keep around 4 of them.

Sandblasting near me is very expensive so I've only done it once. If all the paint is still present on a cook box or even the end caps, I just scrub them down really well and repaint them. It saves a lot of work and they look fantastic. The parts can add up on a restoration so I (and others obviously) will occasionally restore and sell one in order to fund other projects with the profits. I also recommend going start to finish on just one grill so you don't get sidetracked.

Samuel, I would go full-bore on one. Since you have other cooking options to take your time and do one, extensively and detailed.

That’s just me though. I get cost factor, but if you take it slow, $25 here. $20 there. I think over time you could work thru a full out rehab and have one to be super proud of.

There is a blasting company over near Estwing that is actually quite reasonable but it's a bit of a haul from your burb

Yeah, I just saw a grill for sale in Rockford that I have to take a pass on, two hour round trip.
