Live and learn. About five years ago I bought a new Genesis three burner and quickly sold my Genesis Platinum 2 thinking my new Weber would perform well. Dang it, the new Weber struggles to regain temp (after opening lid) and will never ever get above 525 degrees....and during the winter here in Alaska it's worse. I decided to find a classic Weber.
Anyway, I just found a Weber Genesis 2000 for free and from my research here it looks like it might be a decent candidate to restore. It's a natural gas model and all the parts are there. There's some rust on the front "facia" as you'll see in the pics.
Can you give me your opinion whether this is a decent one to restore? Do you believe natural gas is a detriment? I have a donor Genesis 1000 that was backed into by a pickup truck (!), but has a decent fire box, and LP goodies along with wheels and casters.
Cheers!
