It was in really nice shape when I got it. I didn't have to do any painting on it, except for the lid badge.I cleaned and waxed the frame and control panels and it pretty much looks brand new. So it was mostly some disassembly and cleaning everything.

Right? And it's not so much because of what I did to it, I just cleaned it properly. These Genesis Gold grills are just really attractive, well made grills and I've really come to appreciate that lately. I've got my eye on a couple more of them because I think they are no brainer flip grills if you can get one for the right price.

Ha ha, it was just the work I should have done in the first place.

You only live once and I finally got tired of having all my really nice grills hiding in the garage so I rolled this Genesis Gold out to the patio. I rolled the trusty Genesis 1000 to my hiding spot on the side of the house. Now I have a really nice grill to cook on and room to pick up some more grills if I want.

I ordered one of these raised warming racks for the Gold. These are all over eBay and Amazon and are supposedly made out of stainless steel. I offered the seller $21 for it and he accepted.

Ha ha, that's where I keep the pool ladder in the winter too. The garage doesn't have any assembled grills at the moment either

Where there’s a grill, there’s a way… to store it.

Me too since he likes to bust my balls about having a keeper deep box

I'll let you know. I'm going to approach it the same way and see how it goes.

I don't recall that.

Well, here's my proof that I actually cooked on this grill. It was just hamburgers, bratwurst, and hot dogs. @DanHoo wanted to know my thoughts on this vs. what I have been cooking on for the last 27 yrs., a Genesis 1000. The first thing I noticed was that the Gold heated up a lot faster, no surprise given the smaller size of the cook box. The second thing is that it runs hotter on, say medium, than the 1000 does. I was able to adjust to this on the fly and everything came out pretty close to the way I expected it to. I'm sure after a few more cooks I'll have it down pat. It was extremely pleasant to cook on a nice, shiny clean grill. I think I'll even put the cover on it to keep it a little cleaner.

You're welcome. Did I miss anything? Those were honestly the only differences I noticed. Oh, one more thing. The stainless steel lids on these grills weigh a ton compared to a Genesis 1000 lid.
