When I first got my Genesis in 92, I didn't have a clue about that grease tray. I simply thought you throw away the soiled foil pan and let 'er rip. Until 1 day it went up in flames. Thank heaven I had an extinguisher nearby. A phone call to Weber and they asked if I'd ever cleaned that. It was an awful mess

If this were lower, I would pic this for the bottom wire rack and the black shelf trim end caps to save for a Genesis Platinum Grill

I’m confused by the stationary tables not being rounded. I know only one side is but the nearer one sure doesn’t look like it’s rounded on the far end.
 
I think we are looking at a later Genesis Gold grill with the lid and tables from the earlier version. Those tables never would have been on a Genesis with those end caps. The knobs were the clue for me.

I've only had Gold C models, but the one table both of them had weren't rounded off either. The flip up tables are, but not the other one. The one thing that is different than what I've seen are the black end caps instead of gray. I know they went to black later on on the ones that had the daisy wheels and cheap tray on the bottom.
 
Another Ember Matic. This one a two burner. I don't know how well they work but regardless they kinda have a cool vintage look.

Yep, that was the basic formula. H burner made of either cast iron, or some type of stainless steel, (maybe really high end ones had the cast bronze or brass, lava; rock grate and basic cast iron or wire type grates above that. Some like BroilMaster had the way to raise or lower them. And yeah they got HOT

That's cool and interesting to me but I like old stuff in general.

In the 50s and 60s the local gas companies (around us it was NIGAS) would make all type of deals with homeowners and builders. My dad bought a new house in the early 60s very near Chicago but in a close in burb. The builder included a gas line on all of them out to the front yard and nearly every one of them had a gas lamp on a post. Also nearly every house had a copper gas line plumbed out the back door and IIRC an Embermatic on a post included right outside the back or the side door next to the driveway on the kitchen side.
My dad got neither (though the lines were there) as he'd begged borrowed and scraped every single dime to make a 10% down payment on a $21900 house. He had to end up doing a lot of finish work on himself floors in lower level, driveway, garage, all the bath tile and so on.
But with my grandfather and 3 of my uncles in the trades and them also knowing friends he got everything done.
All this was to save about $3 or $4k on the cost of the house.

Your dad sounds like a smart man. 3-4k was a significant amount of money back then. May not seem like a lot now but back then I can only imagine how long it would take to save that kind of money.I wonder if the mentality back then in general was kind of like the way I picture it and More in line with the way that I do things. If you want something you earn it first. Not overextending yourself with debts and loans to buy things you can't afford.

Absolutely. I remember going to the house with a picnic lunch And grandpa would be there, laying terrazzo, doing finishing work, laying tile and many more things going on. The house was finished basically but we could not move into it because until those things were finished the builder could not get the occupancy permit to be able to close. Was all quite interesting.
