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

Took a few things to the blaster.

 

[MarkCuda]

Got my stuff back from the blaster today.

 

[Bruce]

Good deal Mark. Tuesday looks like a prime day for you to get some painting done.

 

[Cody Bratton]

Mark, that’s your deep 5? Could you post a pic of the inside? I’m curious to see the differences of the deep 5 vs 13’r

 

[MarkCuda]

Mark, that’s your deep 5?

No, it's the one the Platinum was born with.

 

[Bruce]

So, are you going with a regular Silver/Gold B - 5 bar cook box?

 

[MarkCuda]

So, are you going with a regular Silver/Gold B - 5 bar cook box?

No, I'm going with a 13er cookbox.
The one on the left, here's a comparison from a 13er versus a fat frame 5er.

 

[Bruce]

Thanks for the comparison photos.

 

[MarkCuda]

Thanks for the comparison photos.

You are welcome.
The 13er is substantially heavier then the fat frame 5er.

 

[Bruce]

That is why Weber transitioned to the 5 bar cook boxes. It is a significant cost savings.

 

[Cody Bratton]

It is really nice to see them side by side! Those 13er boxes are beefy buggers!

 

[Cody Bratton]

I’d love to see the deep 5 box flavor bars someday!

 

[Bruce]

They are just slightly taller and slightly longer than Silver B bars

 

[LMichaels]

Cody if memory serves me correctly I believe in the lot of stuff I'm gonna be trading you (when we get that done) will be, a custom set of flavorizer bars. Heavy gauge 304SS designed to convert a deep box into a "5 bar". You can have the best of both worlds then

 

[Cody Bratton]

Now I may have to rethink making my platinum into a deep box conversion I like the thought of that!

 

[MarkCuda]

Going to cut it out so the 13er and the control panel fits like it should.

 

[MarkCuda]

Doing a mockup
She's ready to tach weld in place.

 

[Bruce]

Fire in the hole.

 

[Samuel]

Are sure the burners will match up with OEM control panel

 

[Cody Bratton]

How does the sideburner fit up?
