Just wanted to say hi to the community, I came across this while making my mini weber smoker and found it nothing but helpful...
So my parents neighbor threw out (what I thought was) their Weber Genesis Gold with a side burner. Its very similar to my parents from early 2000's... So I ended up grabbing it since it looked like it was in decent condition, and nothing more than some elbow grease, and some replacement parts and it would look as good as new. So I found where the serial number was, but it basically wore away due to weathering. The serial number was faint, but i was still able to look it up in Weber's schematics database. When I in put the serial # it came up as a Black Weber Genesis Silver C with no side burner. It also said Silver C on the serial sticker.... The serial number obviously does not match up. The lid says Weber Genesis Gold, has a stainless steel hood, and a side burner.
First thing that came to my head was, maybe it was restore from different Webers, but the serial number's schematics doesn't even have a side burner. Has anyone seen this issue before? and the reason why I'm asking is because I need to purchase replacement parts. It seems like I need burners after 2002, but just want to make sure.
Any help would be great. I will also be posting pictures of my restore.
