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

Hey, Mark, I just wanted to throw this out here for your consideration. Apart from those tanks requiring inspection periodically, which you are probably already aware of, they also have a seal inside the connection. I had one go bad on me and I looked high and low but could not find a replacement seal...I think because the propane companies don't really want DIYers attempting repairs. Anyway, the only ways to get past the bad seal is to either use it with a soft-nosed connection, or exchange it for another tank or tank fitting. Maybe it would be better to paint those tanks rather than invest in powdercoating them.

 

[Jim Weber]

I'm curious how the tanks are going to be powder coated and 'baked' myself...?....?
Are you going to remove the valves?

 

[Anthony Spitzer]

I think he already has the valves removed. Taken out to get the tanks sandblasted. Looks like they are gone in the photo after sandblasting.

You are right -- I did not see that..... GTG then.

 

[MarkCuda]

Ed, if any one of the seals go bad on me, I'll just have a new valve put in.
I think my LP place charges about $25 to install one.
Yes, the 2 tanks will need recertification, it's just a visual anyways and my LP place has already removed the valves.

I’m assuming you left those items with the powdercoater. What’s the turn around time? Asking for others…

 

[MarkCuda]

He thinks this Friday
We'll see

Did you decide on the SS lines/regulator yet?

I am just going to use a regulator I had from a flipper grill.
You can only see a tiny amount of black hose anyway.

 

[Bruce]

Paint the hose silver.

I was thinking wrap it in foil

Has anyone ever had any experience with a 304 stainless warming rack ?
I never thought any of these were stainless let alone 304 stainless.
Most of my flippers have one but I junk them because they are so rusty.

[LMichaels]

I seem to recall a couple people on the boards here reporting they bought them. I'm sure they're fine if truly SS.

 

[MarkCuda]

It says 304 SS in the listing, that's why I was asking, I just never have came across one.

 

[Joe Anshien]

I would go with the raised one if you can as the lower one leaves very little room to grill.

 

[HankBates]

I have one, it’s slightly discolored now but not rusty.
I have a raised one in stainless on another grill and prefer it as does Joe.

[MarkCuda]

Great, if I buy one, I will go with a raised rack, thank you guys

 

[Bruce]

It is hard enough to find one in SS. Finding a raised on in SS will be like hunting Unicorns.
