I grabbed a great freebee in North Florida

[StephenJennewein]

I found this on next-door for FREE. I just restored a 3000lx as a birthday present and now I'm going to restore a 3000 1000. The burner, flavorizers, and grates are decent enough not to replace. It needs casters, wood, and paint. I can't believe I got it for FREE. The 3000lx I restored had a botched restoration that had to be undone, bad burner, bad flavorizers, missing frame sections, and all siezed bolts. I paid $100 for it and it was a 4 hour drive (2 tanks of gas) each way to get too. The bolts on this one aren't even seized, it was 15 minutes down the road, and it was FREE! It's a real oldy too, the grill on the emblem is on the left, unfortunately the serial is gone so I can't date it. Happy hunting out there, end rant/brag.

Haha, I've been browsing classifieds (offerup, craigslist, ebay, and nextdoor) since October of 2020 from Miami to Atlanta. In 5 months I've grabbed the only 2 old geneses that have popped up. Not too many left I'd imagine.

Same here. I have not seen an x000 in over a year.

Nice redhead score!

Not many gasser or kettles listed thepast six months in the Gainesville area.

I see more X000 grills than Silver B's here. That grill is probably an early to mid 1990's. Look for the serial # sticker on the right edge of the control panel or more likely underneath of the control panel.
It is amazing how the grill can be so dilapidated looking overall but the lid is in pristine condition. Weber did it right with their ceramic coating. That grill is a great rehab candidate.

Not sure why you think it's a 3000. It's a 1 or a 1000 depending on the caster option.

I was thinking 1990-1993. I think in 1994 they changed the logo and serial format. The serial # has degraded and is mostly illegible, but appears to be the old format without date info. And yes, I cant believe the lid is almost 30 years old and still shines! I'm taking some parts to get powder coated this weekend, including the lid frame. I haven't been able to remove the seized lid bolts without cutting them. I replaced them with stainless on my last restoration. The combination of stainless fasteners, fresh powdercoat, and polished lid will look amazing.

Maybe I'm off on my model #s. I thought the 1000-3000 referred to the burner configuration. Perhaps it is a 1000.

 

[LMichaels]

It refers to the actual model. A 3 or 3000 is a wide frame grill with a side burner

This one is probably the 1000 then. My last restoration had the wider frame with a side burner and I'm relatively sure it is a 3000lx. I have no idea really. I just like it.

 

[LMichaels]

If it has casters it's a 1000 if not it's a 1. Same grill otherwise

 

[Bruce]

Yah, and you are right. If it has the old style serial number, it is 1991-1993.
