Hey guys!
I have been a longtime lurker on these forums and just thought I would post my more successful Weber experience (I still haven't finished my 3000 rebuild I started over a year ago. Sigh.)
Basically 2 things happened:
So what I wanted to do was basically just take the stainless steel hood, stainless steel panel, and NG hookup off the Gold B and put it on the Silver C. I swapped all the regulators and such so I had the NG on that silver frame, but when I went to take off the hood from the gold, the pin was stuck (had become one with the hood) and long story short in trying to get it out, the grill box broke, so now I have a Gold with a broken grill box and still can't use the hood since the pin was fused in there.
Anyways I come on here and see someone else post something about their warranty. It was then that I looked and saw that the Gold had never been registered! I registered it, contacted Weber support and they sent me a new hood and grill box! I threw them on there and now I basically have a brand new grill (now a "Gold C")! Super excited and ready to grill! Plus the leftover parts I have from various other ventures gave me enough to build out a Silver B for my dad!
These things cook great and I will be a Weber supporter for life (already picked up a Smokey Mountain to go with it!). Thanks for all the advice everyone!

Basically 2 things happened:
- Got a Silver C off Craigslist for free. Really in overall great condition, just needed new flavorizers and a new crossover tube to go along with a good cleaning. Only problem for me is that it was propane and I needed NG.
- Got a Gold B from a friend (he bought a new Genesis). Heavily used and abused, but it was natural gas and the price was right again (free)
