I will just leave this here

I don't get too many grills for free so I don't really count those. I do get most of them in the $20 to $40 category though. In that range I can expect that both drip trays are shot, which will automatically add another $65 to $70 to my restoration costs. So, if I had to pay $100 to start on a nicer grill that didn't need those things what's the difference? Plus the slightly more expensive grills are usually in better overall condition anyway. I'm going to make about the same in either scenario usually.

I'd like to see you restore another x000 grill and I always owe you big time for everything you've done for me. This Grill looks like it would be a fantastic candidate. I prefer the smaller frame 1000 but this could be an incredible restoration. If you're interested in doing it I'll pay for half of it.

I paid $145 for the Genesis 1000 which had only been used twice, and I don't regret it at all. It is now a 1000LX, and It's not going anywhere....

I paid $200 for my green LX and that's one of the best purchases I've ever made

For clarity, I was talking about the $150 for the gold which I’ve scored a handful off of them free from curb. The glass cabinet grill, I would shell out $100 for.

For $100 I would have a "family emergency"and leave work immediately to go grab it.

My next Genesis 1000 build is with that same gray lid

The one in Palatine? Make sure you pack an emergency kit, blankets, extra food and the like. Long way from Downtown Chicago out there to the "hinterlands"

Not collecting till Monday but will update after, photos suggest a low cost refurb. Not a fan of them grey plastic slats but they look to be ok so will keep. Buyer confirmed all 3 glass doors are present but i expect the hardware not to be there, no show stopper tbh as i can get them made if needed. Rather excited!

I'm excited for you and looking forward to more pictures and an update when you get it. I really like these light gray lids with red stripes. I think it adds to the vintage character and look. I'm going to do dark Brazilian walnut with my gray lid on my next Weber restoration. I like the contrast.

@Paul Warner if you still have that last Grill you finished it would be cool to see what that mahogany looks like on this Grill.

Oh and I don't think those gray slats are plastic. They should be real wood
