Hey Bruce
I used that $20 special you turned me on to last night for the first time. I threw that set of larger (single row conversion) of heavy gauge SS flavorizer bars into it, a set of cast iron grates, hooked up the tank and lit that baby up. All the burners went nice blue flame. No dead spots, and it got nice and hot fast. I let it burn off the for awhile and then put some ka bobs made from marinated prime grade tenderloin tips. Sorry no photos. But an outstanding meal. Gonna do a quick scrub down on it, install the side burner and a set of NG orifices and valves and stick that baby out on the deck in place of the silver B.
I have to do a couple minor adjustments and repairs to it. Could use a new ingnitor, needs those little plastic screw nuts to hold the control panel, noticed a very slight chip on the control panel, but I have a couple spares, front bottom frame rail needs to be repositioned, basically very minor errrr.....................stuff. It's truly a "keeper" definitely hanging on to that one. All I need is a rotisserie kit. I know I have the Wolf but there are some things I just love FAR better using the conventional burners of a true Weber for spinning over the IR burner on the Wolf.
I think I will either order a cheap set of SS bars for the Silver B and flip it (since it too was a $20 special) or perhaps keep it as my garage queen along side the Q220 red head. Decisions, decisions. Also RC has my grates done for the Wolf and I should see them late this coming week. Fingers crossed they fit and work correctly can't wait to get that bad boy fired up though I have to plumb in a larger gas line for it. It uses close to 80k BTU and when you run it on one of those QC hoses they don't flow enough gas through a regulator so I need to plumb in a 3/4" line to mate to the 3/4" regulator it came with so the burners will cook more evenly. Right now the excess pressure causes the burners to run too hot at the front and trail off at the rear.
Lots to do

But once I get that Summit together and sold it should offset it if not surpass it. Yeah that Gen 2000 needs a little work but definitely not an entire rebuild. Especially since I had everything here we're golden on that. For the time being I am gonna use up what's in that quick disconnect LP tank, than get rid of that via a tank exchange or just give it away since I already have a new regulator with ACME nut no need to keep it anyway. Gonna do up some fish tonight for the kids. Either Arctic Char or some Lake Superior Whitefish.
