Thanks for the adding me to the group. I found you this morning while trying to do some research. I just picked up a Weber Platinum Series II 3400 grill from a neighbor. I know it's an older model grill, but he keeps all his stuff in immaculate condition so I jumped at it. It is the natural gas version. Unfortunately there is no convenient way to extend a gas line, or one close enough to tie into to set the grill up in my back yard so I am looking to convert it to LP. I read your article recommending replacing the entire manifold. I went looking for one online but I don't want to purchase the incorrect manifold, or a cheap knockoff that will fail. Hoping you can point me in the right direction. Many Thanks,-N

Welcome Nick,

There's a wealth of good info from the crew here. Glad you joined.

my suggestion is post in the buy/sell/trade forum that you are looking for one.

Buy, Sell, Trade Grills & Gear

Post grills, smokers, and accessories you want to buy, sell, or trade. Store sale prices should also be posted in this forum. Businesses may not post to promote or sell their own products.

Can you post a picture of the control panel, the piece on the RH side where the knobs come through? A pic that shows the number in the lower left corner will help identify the manifolds that will match that grill.

We love pics so maybe post a nice shot of the 3400 as you adopted it.

Cheers,

Hi, Nick. You are also going to need a tank panel and scale to hang the propane tank on in addition to the manifold. I would personally look for a used Genesis 1000 grill to source the parts from.

Hi Nick, WELCOME!!!!

Thank you for all the greetings and helpful information so quickly. @DanHoo below is the picture of the control panel. Is 8006 the number you were referring to? I still can't believe my neighbor was giving this away.

Thank you Steve, I'll look for one of those. The grill is going to sit on a limestone bed next to my charcoal weber table, so I am also thinking about building a cabinet for the propane tank. But that will be down the road a bit.

very nice !

the 8006 number on the control panel is what I was looking for. a manifold from any Genesis 1,2,3 or 1000, 2000, 3000 etc will work.

I agree with @Steve Hoch to find a Genesis 1000 in just about any condition as a donor for the manifold. The manifolds are quite durable, and you'll have the natural gas one available if the opportunity is there to use it.
