Is this black durawood?

Ok @Jon Tofte , got the shelves for ya.

The bottom ones are in better condition, just dirty.

The lid is actually grey. No its not weber fade. I gave it a quick wipe down.

Also heres the serial number.

Apparently its a 1998 Genesis 1300 Mica Black

Is the Mica Black for the lid color or the durawood color? It should be a model year 1999 as well. The manual may be 1998, but the serial number is for the 99 model year. They likely made the same model for both years. I think the Mica Black indicates the lid color and probably the 1300 denotes the black durawood.

The lid. The durawood color says black on the weber site.

Bruce have you ever sanded durawood to make it look a little better or should I not do that

Check item #4 on that schematic. It says the lid is MICA Black.

Yea Mica Black , thats why it looks that grey color. I kinda like it

I have not tried sanding durawood. It might be an option, but I would do it on an inconspicuous spot to test. Maybe start with a scrap gray one to start with.

I realize sanding it too much would make it just a solid smooth stick of plastic. Good idea Ill try a trashed grey one

I think the Mica black/dark gray was a color that was sold through Target, although it may have been used for others. One of my very first grills was a Target model of that color. I blew a LOT of money on genuine Weber parts back in the day! Mine had no slats when I got it. The gray durawood was one of the thing$ I bought from Weber .

Nice!

Apparently the one I just grabbed is a 1300, no idea what that means but thats what Weber says...

I am guessing the 1300 denotes the special edition with the black durawood. I know 1200 is the Skyline edition of the same grill and all three are basically Genesis 1000 grills.
