Great deal today and picked up a Genesis S330 today for $20. Gonna tear it down and rebuild. The bottom panel is rotted but I can rebuild it with composite decking.
Of course the left side panel is also rotted and the door pin looks bad. ( see attached ). This is what concerns me. Don't want to rebuild it and then have the doors fall off. Anybody have thoughts on how to rebuild/repair the left leg bottom with the door pin? appreciate it. thanks

I would try to get another free grill as a donor. The frames disassemble fairly easily.

Please note that the burner orientation has to be the same for the frames to match up.

Alternatively, you could weld in a leg piece. It would require some good fabrication skills to get everything to match up.

For a hack you could remove the doors and make a removable panel to service the grease tray. If you did that it would probably make sense to put the tank scale and tank on the outside.

thanks. I thought about welding the leg piece, as i have a few legs with the pins, but my welding skills are more or less non existent. the removable panel sounds good. you have any pictures of what that might look like that you could share?? Thanks

I don’t have any pictures. My thought would be to study the rear panel for ideas. Something like a panel that hooks and hangs on tabs or a lip.

YW.

Please take before and after pics so we can learn from yours.

If you decide to stay with a closed cabinet, I recommend outboarding the tank.

I did that on my E330 and it's much easier to get to the tank valve and frees up storage space.

Outboarding the propane tank on a 2016 Genesis E330

My E330 was converted from NG to LP. I've been putting off cutting a hole in the floor so the propane tank would mount properly on the tank hanger / scale. When I saw @JohnS FL restore his 2009 E310 and relocate the tank outboard on the RH side, I decided to move the tank outside on my E330...

Here are some pics of my rebuild. ( sorry, forgot to get some of the before pics)
- Composite decking for the new base.
- Wire wheeled the cookbox clean. ( did the same for the lid) as well as the grates.
- Cut an old piece of tubing from a scrap grill I had and made the front crossbar. Then used tubing inserts to hold in place.
- new burners and new flavor bars.
- Polished with Bar Keeper and 0000 steel wool.
Came out well. :giggle::blackgenesis:

Please tell me that lid had a liner. If so, you did a fine refurbish job on that grill. Should give you another ten years or so.
 
Bruce - yes. it has a liner. I just lightly wire brushed it to get the majority of the dirt and grime off. I know it will turn black again quickly. And thanks for the positive remarks. (y)
 
Looks good @Mark Worms.

Since you do not have a cut-out for the tank, I'll again suggest again moving it to the outside.

The decal will point to the backside but IMO that's the only downside. You gain easier access to the valve, it's easier to mount and unmount the tank on the hanger and easier to turn the valve on and off without burning your hand on the heat shield of the bottom pan.

You could even get a new scale meant for a Silver B and the markings will face to the front. I think you can find them in the $30 range.

Since i dont have a cut out, what do you suggest, just cut thru the side panel? or remove the cookbox and snake the line over the panel?

I recall I just disconnected the hard line from the mount on the inside wall and it easily fit to the outside.

When I did this the first time it went really fast to move it to the outside.
