I will just leave this here

I could see that after all the work you put in to restoring your awesome grills.

It seems almost sacrilegious to cook on the one that is brand new, unused from 1994. I don't think I could do it.

I wouldn't be able to. I think I can cook on this Genesis Gold I just finished, but that's probably only because I have an even nicer version of the same grill sitting next to it. I'm going to try and flip it first though because I spent more money on parts than I usually do which is just proof of how bad it was to start. If I can't get the right money for it, on my patio it goes. I don't mind having a nice grill to cook on and then I can restore the Platinum series 1200 that I'm currently using.

Can I see a picture of your current grill you're using?

I can't seem to find a current picture of it. I put some more 3D printed parts on it the other day so I'll take some pictures of all that including the grill and post them in that thread tomorrow or the next day. It's just a dingy looking Genesis 1000 that works perfectly.

I can appreciate a 1000 that's been used for a long time.

I threw one of these on it to test it. A lot of the original ones I come across are faded to almost white now. These are nice and shiny, although I guess you could paint an old one. The original ones also sometimes break trying to get them out of the grill. View attachment 111840

Very nice! Just got a new one with my new flip table but that's probably the only new one I will come across.
 
For my SSP cart, I was looking at putting an SS axle in it. SS is obviously pretty expensive, but I was thinking an SS tube may work, as it is significantly cheaper than solid rod... coming to the brain trust, what do we think? Looking at the bottom one, in the first graph. .065 wall thickness is 16ga. I think that would be pretty heavy... or am I just being cheap on a keeper grill?

I had also considered aluminum rod... The bummer to me is, at 28.75" a 12 ft bar will only net me an axle for the performer, and one for a genesis. 72-29-22-22 = -1

unless I went 28.5, 21.75 21.75 (I am doing decimals because fractions and my brain don't get along).

*edit* Menards sells a 3' aluminum rod for $5 - and I need some more spray paint. 11% rebate here I come!
