New here: We've owned four Weber LP grills since 1988. We have two charcoal kettles that see less fire.

Our first Weber was a late 80's Genesis 1000 NG. It went into storage in the early 90's because natural gas pressure at home was too low to sear beef. It's back, from storage, looks like new and I am ready to convert it to 20 lb propane (which is why I am now here). I need help finding a turnkey a 1000 propane manifold with stock OEM valves and orifices. I have already determined that the Genesis Silver and Gold manifolds (square tube) are too long (end-to-end) to fit the side console cover plate.

Feel free to chime-in and help me.
 
Welcome Bruce, you have a couple options. Since you're going to need the tank panel and scale anyway I recommend getting yourself a used Genesis 1000-5000 grill from FBMP to scavenge the parts from. If you don't care about setting the propane tank on the ground you might trade your NG manifold for an LP version. There is almost always someone looking to make that deal on here. The third choice I guess would be to buy a new one, they are still available through various parts suppliers.
 
Greetings from the West Coast Bruce.
I’m not a gasser guy.
Maybe I’m not quite understanding you.
Heaven knows that is a possibility.

Are you sure that your gasser is properly jetted or possibly not properly functioning possibly due to a partial blockage?
I don’t know much about gassers but I’ve I know a little bit about piping natural gas.
Natural gas piping by design is supplied to houses at low pressure.

Did the utility supplier confirm that they are not supplying the proper pressure?
That would possibly be extremely dangerous to some of the older houses.
When properly jetted and in good order there should be no difference between the output of btu’s between gas and propane in any appliance.
If all the other points of use are properly functioning why is this one not?
Good luck to you.
