On Monday after dinner my wife and I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood to get out of the house a bit (we kept our social distance from others) when I see the lady catty-corner across the street rolling an old Red Weber Genesis to the curb. I have never had much interest in gassers, but here was one literally across the street. I asked the neighbor if it was free for the taking, and she said it was mine if I wanted it. I told the lovely wife that if it was still there when we got back from our walk I would take it. She resisted, but as we are all stuck home right now, she relented...fixing it up would give me something to do.
Anyway, I cleaned it up. I razor scraped the firebox, drip pan, and drip tray, scraped some gunk off the lid, and gave everything a good clean. I also sanded down and refinished the handle. The ignitor is broken, but that's not too big a deal. The flavorizer bars all look pretty good, and the grates just needed cleaning (though I think I'm going to give it a more thorough cleaning later). I'm still not sure if I'll keep it or sell it. I know very little about gassers. My only question is if this is propane or natural gas...I think it's propane, but the regulator is weird. I don't have a big tank here at home, and before I go searching one out I'd like to know. Lastly, would anyone know what model this is?
Here are the cleaned up pics with closeups of the regulator:
