I saw a Snap On grill with a mini fridge under it

@Josh Dekubber you’re closer than I am. This has you written ALL over it!

What years was the flame check available? Still not completely sure what it did or how it worked.

The flame check prob shot a big blast of gas which made a fireball come up thru the grates.

Flame ? CHECK !

Is that durawood a replica of the real wood? Or is that that grey stained wood thwy offered for a while

It's real wood that was stained gray.

Flame ? CHECK !

It was a thermo couple that you had to hold down while lighting the grill or it wouldn't light.Water heaters and gas fireplaces have a similar system today. It was only used by Weber for a few years on the higher end models. It's very rare to see a grill with the button and thermo couple still in place.

I think this kettle was painted, but I kinda like it.

You know whats weird, it has the platinum pin stripes but doesn't say platinum in the upper right corner

 

[Bruce]

Just a Genesis 5000. I don't think they had the Platinum designation yet.

Interesting. Thats the 1st time ive seen the pinstripe without the platinum label.

 

[Bruce]

I have a lid exactly like that one.

When you see a lid like that, you know the grill is a real old one.

 

[MarkCuda]

My Genesis 5000 is identical, it's not anything but a 5000.

[MarkCuda]

Nope, Genesis 5.

So mine is a 5 then ?

 

[Steve Hoch]

Yes

 

[Jon Tofte]

Yep. 3 junky Chineseums in a row

Perfect description. I bought one in my early. unlimited curiosity days. I still have the logo but nothing else to show for it. The rest went to scrap metal.

 

[Bruce]

I think it was just some junk grill maker that paid Snap-On a big chunk of money for the rights to put their logo on their grills so they could sell their junk grills for 2 to 3 times more than they were worth. I would think SnapOn would consider it a mistake for having done so.

Glad to finally meet two members in person! @MarkCuda and @Bruce

It was great to talk smart and converse about grills with you guys. I’m amazed at how incredible of a “community” TVWBB is.

Cheers

Cody, it was my pleasure meeting you
