My new (nearly new old stock) Genesis 1000

[Ed_T]

The case for getting this one -it's where it all started...the Genesis 1. Maybe it could bump another grill out of the lineup?

Sitting at 13 myself, so replacing may be more likely than adding, especially in my wife's eyes!

By removing a select number of grills to get the herd down to more reasonable and manageable levels.

Well that sounds awful

Yah, akin to a trip to the dentist. Not something you ever want to do, but necessary every so often.

I was just being silly, I knew what you meant but don't care for the idea

 

[Cody Bratton]

I feel like you're right but I have 13 Weber barbecues currently and I'm trying to get another and considering some others so I'm trying to be selective.

But having a 1, is a perfect reason to make it jump to 14!

Trying to make a Platinum 1000 in Tuscan my 14

You may recall at the beginning of this thread that when I got this 1000, it came with the original full propane tank with the old style quick disconnect fitting. I have been working diligently to empty it, and am close to empty, and am looking forward to modernizing the regulator.
Well, it will have to wait, because yesterday a full QD tank came up for free on C/L. He delivered it, and I guess the modernization will need to wait.
How many old Weber gas grills are still using the old NLA connection?

I have at least three or four of them and two full tanks with quick disconnect to use up so I definitely need to leave one of them with the old style quick disconnect so that I can use up this propane.

Most of the grills I get still have the old quick disconnect style.

Just take those tanks to a Walmart exchange place or most any exchange place and trade it in on new style connector. I have done that with at least 8 or 9 tanks. No one ever bats an eye.

I will after I use them up

 

[Bruce]

Oh, yah, don't turn 'em in until they are empty.

The Genesis 2 I have still has the wrench required style fitting on the regulator.

I'm surprised a Genesis ii would have that

 

[LMichaels]

No need to change out a perfectly good regulator. Just update the ACME nut the old fitting is EZ PZ to switch out. I've done a ton of them

Not a Genesis II, a 1989 Genesis 2

 

[Bruce]

Josh, I am not sure, but he may be referring to an early generation Genesis 2 (Genesis 1-5).

 

[Josh Dekubber]

Oooh okay

 

[Jim Weber]

I still have a fill/adapter for the quik connect if anyone needs it.
