Hi everyone, first post new user here. I've been the owner of a Genesis Silver A LP grill since 2005. It's still in great shape, all the usual stuff replaced along the way. But I wanted something a larger and with more power.
Found a good price on a Genesis Special Edition, probably would call this an S-320. No sear station but has side burner. It was sold as LP. 2014-ish but in great shape. Did a quick test before buying it. It fired right up and I thought all was good.
Got it home yesterday and connected an LP tank. Some oddities appeared:
Overall I like the grill and it was a good price. My grill, my problem. A couple of options here:
1. get the proper LP manifold and switch it over to LP. It's a bit trickier to find this manifold because it has side burner but no sear burner. so a 330 manifold will not fit and 310 manifold does not support the side burner.
2. return it to NG. I'm comfortable running black pipe and it doesn't look like it will be that hard to get a line out to the deck. Not lugging LP tanks around to get refilled has a certain appeal.
Thoughts? Recommendations?

Got it home yesterday and connected an LP tank. Some oddities appeared:
- No cutout for the tank in the bottom of the cabinet
- There is a spring loaded "tank gauge" on the inside of the cabinet, pointless as the tank is resting on the bottom of cabinet.
- My these flames look BIG and YELLOW.
- This thing heats up REALLY fast.
