Here is my 2025 grill that i will be restoring, Genesis 1

I will share everything on this build.

Which part are you looking for? The pan or the wire cage?

Neither one, I have mine.

 

[Cody Bratton]

Oh, I see. I thought you were looking for one, too. I was kind of confused, which doesn't always take a whole lot!

 

[LMichaels]

Here is what you guys all need

If you watched the video he notes he is going to offer a cleaning service. Perhaps someone here in the far south burbs may want to contact him and inquire about it. He didn't say car parts only

 

[Cody Bratton]

If that nozzle is fixed, I would think a cook box would be a huge pain in the arse. But I am very intrigued by the machine for other purposes!

 

[MarkCuda]

Way to expensive, I bet 10 grand wouldn't touch it.

 

[Cody Bratton]

I would agree. $20-25k is my guess. I have read that water blasting is better for sheet metal, less heat is less likely to warp panels.

 

[MarkCuda]

For the big and thick stuff, this works for me.

 

[MarkCuda]

Ok peeps, a question for yas, did the Genesis 1s have the black metal pan or the aluminum pan ?

 

[Cody Bratton]

The old ones that I have have all had a black (what I assume is) porcelain coated steel pans, that also double as handy little hardware trays.

 

[MarkCuda]

Mine came with the one on the right.
But it could have sure been replaced over the years.

 

[Steve Hoch]

Weber started including those aluminum pans with the replacement brackets I want to say about twenty years ago now. The originals that came on the grill were definitely the black porcelain coated ones.

 

[MarkCuda]

Thank you very much, Steve.

 

[Jon Tofte]

I agree with Steve.

You can tell the porcelain ones by the finish and also because they were a heavier gauge metal than any black painted ones you will find. You probably can still find one of those, but not likely in brand new condition. For just a "display" grill you could just buy one of the new painted black thin ones. It looks the same except under close personal inspection which it won't get underneath your grill, and since it won't see any use, why not?

I like hearing opinions and advice, thank you all that responded

That's why I prefer the aftermarket ones, for the more original looking black tray. If I have a nice original porcelain one I will purchase the Weber kit and just not use the aluminum tray. I have a few of those in my garage, they do come in handy for putting screws and bolts in when I take apart a grill.
