I will just leave this here

That Skyline has all the bits and pieces should be a good find. The Platinum. Those are not hooks they're the tabs usually glued on the glass that have fallen off

 

[Joe Zoots]

I scored this 3400 series yesterday and can’t for the life of me figure out what purpose the hooks could possibly serve way down there across the bottom. The front cover of the included manual clearly shows them there, though. Any thoughts?

I was going to bid on that. Glad you got it.

I would have called that a Genesis 5000. What does that grill have that the 5000 does not?

No flame check

 

[Bruce]

I thought all grills with the glass doors was a 5000

 

[Joe Zoots]

I thought all grills with the glass doors was a 5000

So did I. I have the exact same grill except for the cabinetry. Thought it was a 4000, but it’s not because of the lack of flame check. So I call it a 4000ish.

But this is all an assumption by a hobbyist. I could be wrong. My wife tells me I’m wrong all of the time.

 

[Bruce]

Yeah I thought the flame check was just something that Webber discontinued on all grills after a while

 

[Jon Tofte]

Great find! I have never seen one for real, but I always assumed that they were for stops for the glass doors.

Same here, only seen pics but they do look like stops or catches for the glass doors.

I cleaned this firebox but i missed a noticable spot above the left burner. Any thoughts on how i can spot clean this and how to approach this without disassembling it again

Can I ask, what products or method you used to get the cookbox looking like that? It doesn't look like you used a wire wheel and it came out pretty good!

 

[RichB NH]

This guy just needs to stop "cleaning" and refurbing Weber grills. The painted misfit flavorizer bars are going to hurt someone.

This guy kills me. he picks up all the cheap or free grills, and within a day its been "cleaned top to bottom" which means spray painted to hide the rust or has plywood for the really bad bottom panels, Claims to have new components but almost always are poorly prepped and spray painted. He always lists them for more than could ever be reasonable. He sprays this inside of the cook boxes, the flavor bars, poorly sprays black paint over rust and oxidation.

 

[Bruce]

Are the selling?

 

[RichB NH]

They must be, he's got so many on hand he numbers his listings, I can see he's sold several. its' very frustrating because he gotten some nice ones he'll probably get good money for, then a bunch of junk he somehow still sell. Nearly every one he sells has paint on the flavor bars and paint over the carbon on the inside. It's pretty bad.

 

[Bruce]

Lol

 

[Tony-Chicago]

Wow. Needs to be reported. And charged. Or at least stopped. All the people who got grills from him need to..

What's a fair asking price for one or both1998 x000 unrestored condition end caps?

Good question. I don't know either, $75.00 for the pair? I think I would make a buyer take both or you'll forever have the "wrong" one.

They are the stops and the catches in one. They clip over the bottom square frame, so the glass door stays in place when closed.
Did the 3400 have the 'smoke and chips' device, or the serving tray, as per the 5000?
