I count three unless you mean the slats on the bottom. The real early ones had four slats, two on each side of that bottom bar. They quickly moved to eight slats. four on each side of that bottom bar.

Thread 'Restoration Projects. 1992 Genesis 1 and Late '80's Genesis 2'

I am restoring a couple of old Weber Genesis grills, and a quick Google search for info brought me here.

I have three genesis redheads, one is inherited from my father. It was a Christmas present to Dad from Mom in the '80s. I remember helping put it together, and it was the first Weber gas grill I had ever seen.

No fade on a black lid, and all the joints were toast. I also think part of that has to do with who assembled it. Nicks and scratches while joining tubes.
