I will just leave this here


 
Here's one I've never seen before. Be interested to hear what the experts here say:

That is a TEC grill. Straight up infrared. 2 large ceramic burners. Fierce heat and nothing else. No other redeeming quality other than bult like a tank. I've cooked on one. They're like cooking on a high powered muscle car with no throttle. Only 2 speeds full and none. Some people (the I want "seared" crowd who likes steaks nice and black outside and raw inside) love these grills. Not my cup of tea

I fully get an IR rotisserie burner. Very practical. I've had a grill with the IR sear burner, I think most folks have zero use for it. The sear burner on Webers is more than adequate without the ceramic IR setup.

Larry, I share that assessment of the TEC grill. My Mother in law has one that she forces me to cook on from time to time. I hate it. You have to play with the food constantly to try and cook it without burning it to a crisp first. It is very well made, however it's not a very good cooker.

Those grills are not very big. I was looking at one and it seemed like it’s for 1 person to cook a steak the way they like it. Wouldn’t be good for a cookout with a variety of stuff being cooked at the same time for multiple people.
 
NICE SETUP!

I have seen this extended neo-outdoor kitchen for the Genesis 300 series grills before. However, this seller has custom made the side pieces match the beautiful crimson grill!

Seller also including some nice add-ons. Looks well cared for based on the interior photo. Still would be a challenge to keep that way.

I rehabbed one of these, back when I was in Florida. Paid $100 or so - after a long ordeal - and sold for much more. One of my very few profitable flips.

I did give it a few tries. I didn't like the weird V-shaped grates. And, yes, it was fiercely hot. I had one or two OK cooks on it, but I didn't miss it when it was sold. Back then, Larry, you actually liked the steaks I cooked! (See picture below).

The old photo upload company I used folded up, and this thread is way past editing. Here are a few pictures.

Couldn't resist passing this one along to all of you.

That oughta clean up nice, huh?
 
Such a classic grill.
As it happens I was looking over the Genesis 1000 this morning and it really is a strikingly good design and execution.

I was thinking that Weber really knocked it out of the park with that line.

I feel the same way about the Summit Charcoal grill.

I fired that grill up around 5am and it has literally been rock steady at 230 degrees for five plus hours.

I don’t even use thermometers.

After exactly five hours a stuck an instant read in and it was 160 on the nose, just as expected.

Such a great low tech piece of equipment that works so well and has a classic look about it.

You were one of the members who recommended it when I was looking- thank you.

Yah, Weber parlayed their kettle grill success from the 60s and 70s and came up with the Genesis 1-5 gas lineup in the mid 80's. Their reputation on kettles really gave them a great launching point for the gas grill lineup. However, that would not have lasted if they had put out a bad product. As luck would have it, their initial design was great and only required a little tweeking around 1990. The basic design lasted all the way until 2000 when the modernized the design into the Silver/Gold B and C lineup. With that redesign, they made more than cosmetic changes and in the process regressed in performance IMO. But, those early gas grills were and still are timeless.
 
I rehabbed a Broilmaster several years ago. That is definitely worth grabbing. Someone in the area needs to go get it. I have not seen one with that color of lid either.
It was originally green but has faded. I have the same one and rehabbed it a few years ago. I painted the cook box black...high heat black is easier to come by than the OEM green. I found a pair of SS shelves on eBay but have since added a side burner. That's a great grill that takes minimal work to rehab...parts are pricier than generic Weber parts and you need lava rocks. But it's bulletproof once fixed up.
