Genesis Silver – C side burner replacement valve & hose plus general restoration

[Samuel]

@Richard in NS , Yes that may be true. The 2 I have are as you described Richard.

It is just strange though Stuart that Samuel and I both have two of them and they don’t have the black enamelled pan underneath. My 3000 does though. Maybe at some point they stopped putting them on the Silver C’s to save money.

Maybe. That's interesting.

Would like to see a photo of what you describe

Here is mine.

Samuel, your white igniter wire is disconnected from the igniter.

Weird but makes sense. I am sure it makes it MUCH cheaper to produce, it still has the windage protection from the underside. Looks like it was some type of running change in production

 

[Stuart Graham]

Wow. Now I understand where you're coming from. That's a fairly significant difference. I notice the condensation in your pic. I'm pretty sure the grill I have has never been exposed to much, if any, of that. Wonder what part that plays in the weathering/rust?

I know the grill I have is a 2000 year model. Maybe it was one of the first ones made and then they quickly switched over production. Interesting. I've attached some owner's manual pics referencing the side burner. Didn't know if this might be of interest.

This is what both of mine look like too.

Samuel, your white igniter wire is disconnected from the igniter.

Thanks I disconnected it when I removed and reinstalled the knob and rocker switch after dying them. If you also noticed I was also missing the spider guard for the fuel line. I ordered that from Weber, and it came in, I just have not opened the box and installed it.
