Been looking into getting a Weber gas grill for some time. Did enough research to know I didn’t want new because the modern foreign made stuff was inferior.

Being a cheap SOB might have factored into the equation as well.

Anyhoo, was out for a drive with the wife to go for a hike and saw this sitting on the side of the road.

SN lookup says it’s a 2004 Genesis Gold Series.

No tank, which is fine. I have one.

Burner tubes look great. Some of the flavorizer bars have seen better days.

Fire box is dirty but looks great. Drip pan looks almost new.

I think I scored!!!!

Definitely worth what I paid, at least!!!!!

Bottom shelf is rusted to hell. Gonna cut it out and build new, likely from cedar.

 

[Richard in NS]

You Scored!!!!

look forward to seeing pics of you refurbishing it.

 

[Peter Condit]

Richard, I honestly don't think there's gonna be a whole lot to refurbishing.

This thing looks to be in pretty damn good shape.

I hope.

OK, I have my first question.
the manifold has this tapped hole.

 

[Peter Condit]

I assume some sort of fitting screws into it and then my regulator hose screws onto it.

Can I buy just that fitting?

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

Looks like a pretty good deal! It even that awfully dirty!
Welcome to the show!

Congrats on the score. Enjoy the adventure. I don’t know the answer to your question, but I am sure someone else here has the answer. Good luck with it!

Peter, your regulator hose might screw right into that, but I am not sure. I am wondering why it has nothing in since it should have a hose or a plug in it. Post this question in the gas grill section to get more hits.

Richard,

My hose from my Charbroil grill has a female fitting. I'll have to either get a new hose with the proper male end or install a fitting that will take my hose.

Bruce has replied in the Gas forum with the link to the fitting.

Welcome from Arizona! Congrats on a great find!

Remembered I have a mountain biking buddy who works in the LPG bidness. He hooked me up with the necessary fitting and tonight the wife and I enjoyed a couple of ribeyes and bell peppers grilled to perfection.

This thing works like new!

Total investment so far is $0.00!!!!

Everything seems to work, including igniter. The side burner works as well. Gonna dust off my Wok and do something on it this week. One of the flavorizer bars has a little rust, but it will do for now.

I actually have spent some money. I discovered the thermometer doesnt work. Ordered a replacement on Amazon for about 11 bucks.
