Would that this ad were true

[Jon Tofte]

While I don’t have time to drive any distance, I am still on the lookout for a Spirit three-burner like the one in this ad. It was when the Spirit was still essentially based on the Genesis Silver but had added trim to “modernize” it. I am hoping to use one as a platform to mount my leftover Snap-On fiasco parts and try to get my $ back. I think this design has the best potential for a cost effective melding, especially since I have lots of Genesis parts that I can use. The stainless looks right, and with the Snap-On parts covering the doors, black parts painted red, and substituting a red hood, I think it will look pretty good.

Anyway, I loved this ad where he says that Webers “never rust or fall apart.” I wish that was true!

Jon: One of those was one of my first rehabs. I sunk too much money in it but I still came out ahead. The rusted out drip pan system was one of the big expenses. However I don't remember the inside of the cabinet being all rusted out.

Yah, if you like to do rotisserie cooking then definitely get an E/W burner Genesis.

I don't think these are anywhere near the best Weber made, but I like that underneath it still has the classic Weber design - and part interchangeability. More importantly for my attempt to salvage my "Snap-On" decorative parts, I think this one's more modern design - especially the stainless table with painted trim edges and the doors on the bottom - lends itself well to adapting the Snap-On parts to make something that goes together. It would also work on a Genesis 300 series grill, but I prefer using the classic Weber design. Hopefully could use a red hood, too. I just need to bring it in cheap so that I can get my $ out and hopefully some profit!
