I will just leave this here


 
Hahaha, I guess that is what you call a rotisserie after the motor dies. He could have sold it as a plant stake as well.
 
That lid is worth $10 to someone making a UDS, but a black bowl with
no sweep, legs or wheels is not good for much else.
 
I can see pretty good prices for kettles as well, but I am not real familiar with them and don't know their values or what to look for as far as condition is concerned.
 
It appears my Genesis is leaking propane just behind the black knob that connects to the tank. I put soapy water on the area, and it bubbled good fashion.

The black knob will not tighten any tighter on the tank. I assume the O-ring (if one is present) is bad? If so, I reckon I'll be needing a new hose and regulator assembly? Should I buy from Weber, or will any old brand work here?
 
When I needed a replacement i went with the weber brand. But I've heard it said on here that "a regulator is a regulator" and that the cheaper generic ones are just as good .
 
Just get one on Amazon you don't need a Weber when mine went bad I had a Charbroil one left over from a trashed grill and slapped that on worked fine been on a year and a half.
 
Seems to be pretty much true. The newer ones are mostly made in China. Larry has commented that the older ones - many made in Italy - were better built. I don't know if you can find these and if they would be worth the extra cost. I think it is a little bit a luck of the draw on how good one you buy is. So that suggests a basic one on Amazon - or re-using like Brian (and I) have done at times. A lot of roadside trashed grills still have perfectly fine regulators. That's where I got mine for "The Judge!"
 
You should be able to get one for under $10 off amazon.com. I think the sticky for Weber parts has one or two listed. I would definitely replace it but no need to pay Weber $25 or more for one.
 
The regulator itself is fine, but is it possible to change out the part that connects to the tank without buying another regulator assembly, or am I asking for trouble?

Thanks for the links!

Should I or should I not. I am in San Antonio this weekend for a short getaway vacation and I could pick this up on the way home. But I need to take it apart because it will not fit in the SUV like this.

Would be in my garage right now to be honest like Dave even though its a 2000 I have an extra burner so make it a 3000 which is really what I want. Having said that the silver c is almost done so will be cooking on that for awhile.

Well, I guess I have egg on my face.

Come to find out, the problem appears to be with the O-ring nestled inside the old tank - which, itself, is out of date (circa 2001?). Fortunately, I just recently purchased a new tank from Tractor Supply, and the QCC1 connector on the Weber fits snugly with zero leaks on the new tank according to my nose, and some soapy water solution.

I like the old tank. It has zero rust on it, but is it worth replacing the valve, or is it possible to replace the O-ring itself?
