Just dragged home a nice 330 Genesis Special Edition. I couldnt wait to shine that green hood and scrape the ole gal down. It wasnt long before I realized I had scooped up a winner for $50......Everything is going well for her first hour in my care....then I noticed what looks like a NG fitting and hose. My assumption is that this was not a NG but the owner converted it....I am also " assuming " that the owner did not know what they were doing and that they did not replace the orifices sp? . Now thats just a wild guess because certainly this model came in NG and propane but I have never seen so much mangled NG line installed before...it is usually just a long rubber hose attached that runs through the back. So please educate me....how can I tell if this has been converted properly or not? I again will " assume " that when I remove the mangled additional line and expose the normal flare fitting that I could just hook a propane regulator to the line and see how she burns. I seem to remember " The Bruce " saying one time that I could see if a certain size drill bit fit in the orifice and if it didnt I must acquit. Any other tips for me ????
Another question about the 330 please. Inside the cook box on the inner knob side of the box direct above yet mounted to the inner wall of the cook box over the three close burners...sear burner included...looks like what was a heat shield of some kind. On my example the shield was destroyed....I can fabricate a shield to replace but I just wanted to make sure its purpose was as a heat shield??? If so why didnt they put one on the back of the box too? I am " assuming " because the gas line and plastic knobs ......and even the user is at the front of the grill.......???????????? Oh I forgot to mention...I didnt buy it from the owner...I purchased from one of the movers that took it because the family had to leave it. There was another clue under the grill that led to all of my assumptions.....there was a propane regulator laying on the bottom of the grill not attached to anything....
