Here's some pics for June Craigslist Find in Shell Lake WI for $10. Been using a Silver A since 2002 (NG).
Cleaned and painted Box/Ends, Welded up an Apron that was rusted through, Igniter Fun, and all the other details and parts involved with reassembly. I actually started with Three Genesis Boxes that were sandblasted, this is the first one done, and we are keeping it, my wife is excited about three burners and a range burner. Also might redo the Cedar, didn't have enough of the Grey plastiwood to do whole thing. New Burners, and reused flavor bars.
Handle - I made a Maple and Oak handle, I took a picture of both, I like the Maple but heard it may not hold up in Sun/weather as well as Oak. See Pics, and I tried a Poll below too if it works let's get your opinion.
I have a partially completed Black Top 1000 along the side of house amongst the Tomatoes too - ETA undetermined.
Still to be done: Front wheel needs to be rotated, as it's my production unit, it can wait. I am also missing the Grate, and the Silver A is missing Flavor Bars thanks to logistics involved with a family cabin where I setup production and forgot these items last weekend......Finally, I have to find some plastic fastener units for the main burner metal frame to horizontal bar, my hardware store license plate pieces aren't working.
I could use some help with sourcing a Natural Gas Manifold for the Redtop Genesis, will use both units for a time until I find one. Have read something about drilling a bigger hole, but not sure if I want that liabilty.
Thanks to all for help with this build, I am bringing Duluth Lift Bridge Beer to 2021 event for belated gratitude http://liftbridgebrewery.com/beer/hop-dish-ipa/
- I think Bruce is still looking for some participants to fill the map.
The red porcelain had a rust spot just below the emblem, and thought not fixable. I used some Brake Caliper Paint (same as that used for red on emblem) and I think it's pretty tough to see it. I have a spare Green and Copper top currently too if it degrades.
Wife told me my ceiling is 10 of these donors. Currently sitting on three LX series and I think three Silver A's, already gave two to friends as long as they brought beer to clean up.....Life is good.
I was reading a posting from Rich Dahl about labels - looking forward to trying this in the future to really make these authentic!
