It's a 3000 but any X000 manifold (except the 4/5000 because of the flame check button). Also a Genesis 1 or 2 or 3

You're also going to need a tank panel and scale from a propane Genesis 1-5000 to complete the conversion. You can still buy a new manifold for that grill for the time being, the other parts have been discontinued for a while now.

Would the manifold from this be compatible?

Yes. I believe so.
On the lower left corner of the control panel is a number.
It it is 8006 the manifold will work.
If it is 81xx it will not.

Yes, and I would just restore that one if the lid is in nice shape.

They are both nice grills, I just have a soft spot for Platinum series lids and the shorter frame.

Is there anything special about the platinum aside from the graphics and flip up table?
Steve Hoch

It's mostly the lid. Every Weber grill from that era came with a flip up table on the left side. Your green one is just missing it apparently from the picture you posted.

This manifold will work fine. However: I've seen some Genesis 1, 1000 grills will not have the tap for that side burner you have on the 3000 you showed the original photo to. So, if that were to be the case, still no worries. Simply take the valves off the LP grill and (be sure to use some yellow dope to seal the threads) install them on the current NG manifold. Pirate all the other hardware (tank hangar/scale, regulator, etc.) and grill away. Best of both worlds. Understand the side burner will be a bit "over powered" but it will not be "uncontrollable".

So the platinum grill sold before I had a chance to buy it. But I found this one for $10. Am i ok just using a y-split hose off the regulator to hook up to side burner?

Yes you certainly can. It's a bit "Rube Goldberg" but will work. If this manifold does not have the tap for the side burner the BEST solution is buy the grill, remove the valves from the manifold (they simply unscrew), remove the valves from the current NG manifold, get some PTFE type pipe dope/sealant. Put small dab on each set of valve's threads and install them in your current manifold. Pro quality and no Rube Goldberg

Many of the x000 manifolds have an 1/8" NPT plug in the manifold where the side burner can connect.
Here's my 1000
edit: it may take some penetrating oil to remove the plug, however the side burner hose should thread right in once removed.
remember to seal the threads with gas safe thread sealant like rectorseal #5.
note: the prior owner of this 1000 used a bunch of fittings to adapt a new hose to the 1000 manifold and also used white teflon tape as you can see on the left hand side. While it hasn't leaked, this is not the way to do it right.
