Hwy Rescue- have a couple ?’s

[Richard S]

Coming back from river yesterday and what do I find? An incredible roadside score!
She’s a natural gasser and in great condition.
If anyone can help determine model/age that would be great.
Also interested in converting to LP if possible and not too difficult! Any tips let me know!
Thanks!
I haven’t even cleaned her yet other than a burn off (I have a NG Genesis Gold B).

Control panel has 8006 on it so it is a 1000.

LP conversion needs an LP manifold, a plate that a tank hanger (scale) bolts to, a tank hanger and an LPG hose with a regulator.

Here is a pic of the mounting plate on a Genesis 1000 with a tank hanger from a Silver B.

Nice score! She’s got good bones

Probably a later 90's Genesis 1000. If you look under the control panel or possible on the left edge of the control panel between the control panel and handle, you will likely find the data sticker. If the printing is not worn off, then you can get the exact year of manufacture using the first two letters of the Serial number. There will be other specs of the grill on there as well.

That is a beauty, I really like the shade of red on the lid. The only year I can tell it's not is 1997, the control panel was held on with plastic push pins that year and that grill has the regular inserts for the screws.

Hard to believe that was a side of the road find. Wow

 

[John G (Boston)]

Wow, what a great find! Love that lid color. Manifold needs a hanger. Nice Platinum hiding in the background.

Converting to LP doesn't really require the tank hanger if you are willing to let the tank sit on the floor next to the grill.

Thanks.

Thanks. So no need to change out each orifice?

Serial number is totally worn off…

Thanks! Yeah. The Gold B is my baby. Got it in 2001!

Yeah. It was next to a very old and very beat up Kenmoore grill which of course stayed!

Changing the orifices doesn't seem to work out to well on these. The best way to do it is to find a similar grill in propane to swap the necessary parts. You can then re-home the natural gas grill to someone that wants natural gas.

Yah, that is that darker red which I love....very hard to find.
