I will just leave this here

[Cody Bratton]

Yep, Platinum series 4000. It's in my neck of the woods but I don't get too excited about the long frame grills.

If it was $free.99 would you scoop it up?

 

[Cody Bratton]

Weber Community! Please, go get this one and I will come get it from you for $50! In Paletine!

No, St Charles is not a pleasant drive from here. It's got to be the right combination of price, condition, and drive time.

How far is Paletine from you?

 

[Steve Hoch]

How far is Paletine from you?

Palatine, IL? Twenty minutes.

Heck that grill in Palatine is salvageable. I honestly think I have enough parts to put it back in order. If I wasn't on kid duty for my daughter, I could see grabbing it. Even though I REALLY hate driving into that area

 

[Cody Bratton]

That blue one I just shared is in Palatine.

 

[Cody Bratton]

Does anyone know the time frame that they made blue lids?

They have been around for a while. I have one that best I can tell is a 1990 or 1991.

This was the day it adopted me.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

Dan have you restored this one or is it still like this.

I combined parts of the Genesis 3 with parts of a 1998 Platinum, and got it working, but its been hiding in the garage for a while awaiting a full-on resto.

That's a nice one Dan!

 

[Cody Bratton]

I have made contact with the blue lid owner. Tomorrow, it should be coming home!

 

[Josh Dekubber]

Nice!!!
I'm happy for you

You driving down to Palatine?

 

[Ralph]

Yes, that is a Woodard cart. Not sold directly by Weber but made in cooperation with them, using an 18” Weber kettle.

Looks like Woodard is still in business, and they aren't cheap, close to $800 for a wrought iron serving cart.

 

[Cody Bratton]

Maybe so!? But a quick Question for the collective. Does this look like a dent in the top, and what’s going on with the handle mounting here? i don’t want to drive 4 hours plus for a big let down!

 

[LMichaels]

Yep, looks like damage to me

Really can't tell whether that's a dent or not. I have seen other Silver B grills with the handle mounting holes in that spot instead of in the middle like you would expect.

I’m wondering if an end cap change would fix that? I have a spare set, or two

My thinking is that it’s more of a reflection and a bad angle. But there’s a smudge right on the bend above it that’s making me nervous.
