Weber Genesis Platinum, I bought in Wausau,Wisconsin. Will be drastically modified.

[MarkCuda]

This will be my user grill, with no intentions of ever selling.
This will be highly modified, I'm a welder/fabricator, the skies the limit.
Stay tuned for progress now and then.

 

[Bruce]

Looking forward to it Mark.

Bruce, my head is spinning on the possibilities that I want to do with this SS frame
And none of the 4 spot welded tabs that slide into the end tables were broke, I swear

 

[Bruce]

They look pretty good on the left, not sure about the right side.

 

[Cody Bratton]

Looks great! Can't wait to see what you do with it! Those cabinet panels look in tact enough to restore it to better than new condition! I will be following along!

Was that a thing? I haven't seen them break on the steel ones, I know the tables sag on SS frames, but I think it is because of the tolerances from the factory being a hair off on the frame extensions. They just don't fit as tight In the tube, on the bottom or the top.

 

[Bruce]

Cody, the brackets on the SS ones commonly break. I have dealt with several of them and at least half the time they are broke. Either way, with a broken bracket or just sag, it needs some kind of resolution.

 

[MarkCuda]

Well, they were sagging a hair but the welds weren't broke, you may be right.

All the panels will be removed and not used.

 

[Bruce]

Mark, can you give us an idea what your plans are?

 

[BPratt]

That’s got the droops. You can fix it with a weld or a self-tapping screw.

I’ve had 5 or 6 of them over the years. I either swap the parts out to black and sell the grill or sell the frame. I don’t like the one off grey parts and grey end cap lids.

 

[Bruce]

That grill is going to be around 30 years from now.

Bruce, this will take forever
4 big caster wheels.
Possibly a 13 flavorizer bar cookbox.
The best flavorizer bars and grill grates.
Remove bottom tray and all panels and both doors.
High heat powdercoating the cookbox and lid sides.
Might change the lid
2-30 pound propane tanks, one on each end.
Some kinda rack on the bottom, still undecided.
I'm sure there's more

I would reference the custom stainless frames GShafer? built for 13 bar fireboxes for some ideas

The control panel and side burner look to be in awesome condition. It would be tough to swap them out with black ones.

[MarkCuda]

Wow, them panels came off fast and easy.

 

[Cody Bratton]

Looks to me like you have wasted little time in getting into it!

 

[Samuel]

Awesome Score Mark! Looking forward to following along. Please let us know if you would like to move any the parts you do not wish to use.
