Seldom Found: Genesis Silver with good bottom

[Jim Weber]

You might be able to swap out the lid sides with the lids --- its obvious from the pics that they are different - but it appears the lids are the same shape.

Pretty sure the SS gold lid has six bolts per end cap. The black one likely has five.

 

[Samuel]

Bruce, I did not try the end caps. Only the handles.
I did not try the endcaps because the Gold has the OEM temp gauge on the side.

 

[Bruce]

The Genesis Platinum SS lids have the thermometer in the middle. Just FYI.

 

[Samuel]

Do the Platinum SS and the Gold SS use the same SS lid handle.
Also will any colored lids fit with either end caps.
What I was attempting was to use a colored lid with the SS lid handle.
I tried a Genesis 1000 green lid with the Gold End Caps but they are 5 pin to the Golds 6 pin

 

[Bruce]

I think the gold and Platinum use the same handle. But that doesnt help you. I think you will need to stick with end caps for a colored lid along with it's handle. If it was critical, the stainless handle might be a universal size and you could maybe get a round SS tube and cut it to the length needed as I think the round handle on the colored lids might fit the ends for the SS handles. But you would have to determine that for sure. I am not positive.

It appears the Genesis Gold frame is better in most spots compared to the Genesis Silver Frame.
It is a little worn where Grill mounting bolt is but other than that it is in pretty good shape.
It even already has the bumpers and it appears it has a mount for the scale.

 

[Bruce]

I think the gold and silver frames are identical. The handles and stuff like that might be different however.
Also, a lot of times I have picked up grills that I thought were going to be full of rust, but once I got them taken apart and pressure washed, they were in surprisingly good shape.

And yes, the scale mounts to those two holes in the panel above the two bumpers.

Looks like a good cleaning, some light sanding and repaint and good as new

 

[Samuel]

Sourced the correct right end trim piece.

 

[Bruce]

Nice black out Silver B.

 

[Samuel]

Thanks Bruce.

Better pic of the front view. I am currently using the propane tank on my burgundy and looking to pick up another free tank.

Very nice looking grill, nice work!

 

[Samuel]

Thanks Steve.

Replaced the Cancer that was the Caster Frame and also added new Casters.

 

[Bruce]

How did you replace the frame legs that were rusted?

I think he is saying he got a replacement for that frame piece.

 

[Samuel]

I bought the part from Weber. They still had it available for sale.

 

[Samuel]

I still have not been able to address the Cancer on the bottom of the inside. I have been searching for another wire rack, for the rack on the previous Gold I picked up I put it on my Platinum. I am not sure I want to put front and back cross members by drilling bolt holes on each side of the Genesis Silver. I am really trying to avoid drilling into the new Caster frame I just put on.
