That was a good test of Darwin's theory.
We cooked brats and burgers on the modified SS Platinum Sunday evening(Sue did the actual cooking)
I took out the orifice on the front burner and made it ever so slightly bigger than normal.
Sue though the grill was hotter in the front compared to the last time we used it.
I'm just going by what she observed, as I wasn't doing the cooking, she was.
I will also put on the new regulator from eBay once I receive it, maybe Tuesday.
My enlarging the burner orifice is considered a remedy, as far as I'm concerned.
Happy grilling

The Genesis 1 deserves a new one also
For Christmas, we are going to rotisserie our first turkey ever and yes, I'm cooking him this time
I'm getting excited because all I've ever done was a turkey in a turkey fryer, so a totally different experience for me/us, should be fun.
If the bird turns out just half as good as the oil frying then I will be happy.

Those old Genesis Platinums are great grills. I had been looking for years for a descent one and finally found one. I had to converted it from NG to LP no other modifications just complete restoration "Pictured before restoration" one of my favorite grill and I have lots of weber gas and charcoal grills including a "Summit Platinum D6 fully restored". I really like the idea of converting it to the 13 flavorizer bar cookbox. I never measured the cook boxes so I'm not sure if t will fit the Genesis Platinum. The 13 bar boxes are deeper and in my opinion the best cook box of the Genesis series. I hope it fits for you with no mods. If you don't already have a 13 bar box Just be careful with the box you choose and check for warping from over heating I've seen plenty of them warped out of shape. Pictured is my "Genesis 3000", 13 bar grill fully restored, one of my best cooking grills. This was my first brand new Weber grill and will never part with it. Good luck with the restoration and modifications looking forward to seeing your future posts.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

Albert,
Welcome to TVWBB!
I love all three of your grills. The redhead is, of course, the gem in many ways. However, I do like seeing a Platinum Summit 6-burner nicely restored. Doing one of those is on my dream list. Did you have issues with rust or burn-through on the front of your firebox? Other than that design flaw, with all that stainless, they are almost bullet-proof grills.

Thanks that's very helpful.

I have the ONE as well. I like both quite well. But, the only reason I generally choose the Lightning is that it has a magnet on it that sticks to the side of my microwave with my other grilling thermometers. The Thermoworks ONE is always stashed in a drawer or lost in the clutter on a table our counter.
