Roadside find - Genesis E320 -2009 sidewinder

[Dan Leighton]

Looks like the grease tray is missing that holds the disposable trays. I had one corrode from a leaking tray and found a replacement on Amazon. Pick that up along with flavorizor bars and it's good to go. Separate project is to arrest the rust around the wheel tubes and bottom tray. A definite keeper!

Swapped in as everyday cooker now (with the full size gas bottle)! Will look to christen later tonight if the weather holds up

 

[Christo C]

Christened with some quick chicken tenders - came out well / grill got very hot and fast.

Yep new flavourisers on the way from Amazon. Have some older ones for now but they are pretty gone. I do have the grease tray - it was just getting a soak when took the picture.

I like the tank sitting on the right of the bbq as I need the cabinet space to put stuff.
I was wondering if we can modify the NA model to have that?

Yup.

Outboarding the propane tank on a 2016 Genesis E330

My E330 was converted from NG to LP. I've been putting off cutting a hole in the floor so the propane tank would mount properly on the tank hanger / scale. When I saw @JohnS FL restore his 2009 E310 and relocate the tank outboard on the RH side, I decided to move the tank outside on my E330...

Hi D., just mount your scale on the outside. The scale part will face away from you is the only downside

Find the same style scale off an older Silver B. That would face the correct direction....right?

Yes, that's exactly what I did.

I used a scale from a Silver B on the RH side, and added one for a E330 to the left side as a spare tank holder.

Thinks its an AU thing - most of the models I have seen have the gas tank on the side or are just Natural gas

Yep, the USA Genesis E3xx LP Grills all have their tank scales on the inside of the cabinet.

And the hole in the floor for the tank which is why everyone thought Christo's grill was converted to LP.

 

[Bruce]

Yep sure. I don't even think you can really hang an LP tank inside the grill on a US model without the hole in the floor.

You can hang an empty tank without cutting the floor.

 

[Bob H.]

Looks too nice to just throw away.........

 

[Richard in NS]

Safety regulations in Australia might not allow it on the inside.

 

[DanHoo]

You can hang an empty tank without cutting the floor.

That was a little sarcasm by the way. A full tank on a hanger will sit on the floor until its empty, and it will still sit on the floor.

Everytime I have to open and close the valve on my mom's or a friends with the tank inside I want to mod their grills and move it to the outside.

Is it balanced sitting there? I was wondering if there is any modification weber implemented for weight balance putting the tank to the side.
It would be disasters if someone nudged it and it tips over

 

[Bruce]

That is how the older Genesis grills were designed. THey all had the tank hanging on the outside right side. The only reason they put it inside was for aesthetics. In fact, it is more dangerous to have it inside. They had to add heat deflectors after a few years. The tank scales that they hang from on the outside have brackets to ensure they remain locked onto the scale. Even without the bracket (I don't engage mine), the chances of the tank falling off are slim.
