You're right, summit burner tubes don't work on a Genesis. If you need burner tubes for a Genesis, they are pretty cheap on ebay or any other site. As far as grates go, how many sets of those do you need? They last for a long time. Summit parts aren't really compatible with a Genesis, which is fine because a Genesis doesn't need to be messed with. It's pretty much the ideal grill on it's own.
Second generation Summit Platinum, cook box issues no doubt.
Looks to me like a first gen. Am I wrong? This is actually an important question because, if memory serves, the second gen Summit doesn't have a stainless frame. Is that true? I'm recalling it was cold rolled steel painted to look like stainless. Am I imagining this?
post is gone. what was it ?
I've bought one set of grates. Your cast iron grates might go on the second grill. If they're plain cast iron without an enamel plating, they probably will. But it would still be nice to try the larger diameter stainless grates on one grill or the other. I don't need them. It's recreation, an exploration of the various aspects of owning a grill.
Everything in this world of grills is a rabbit hole. Many other interests as well. Have been trying to pick headphones. Talk about a rabbit hole. But,, hey, it keeps us from getting bored.
True. I don't think I have a desire to go that route. Stainless grills all look the same. I'd like to see if I could mate the frame to my 1000-LX though. Make that thing just about bullet proof. And of course the grates. If I can make them work. Might have to cut them down but I don't see why I couldn't do that. Might not look perfect but I bet I could get them to fit.
I have a second generation Summit Platinum, stainless frame and cabinet..
Thanks Bill.
Yeah, inquiring minds want to know!
I can see that. I guess I have some affection for the Platinum second generation grills. While not as robust - or cool looking, I think - as the first generation Summits, it does offer the stainless frame and rear infrared burner that the first generation ones did not have.
!It is a mountain of a hood. Not my think but goes with the Summit concept. Was the first gen frame not stainless?I can see that.

While some people are put off by the light gray and stainless combination, I actually like it. Of course, that would be as a “contrast grill” to at least one colorful, classic Genesis. Don’t overloook that taller hood, either
I believe it was also.
First Generation Summit were fairly robust enamelled steel .
Can you tell which one this is? I'd want it only if it has the SS frame.
Oh, it was one of those old discontinued Weber electric coolers. They are collectable now but they had a reputation for struggling to keep stuff really all that cold.
