Gas Grill Serial Number Prefix Question

[leeharvey418]

So I don't know what made me think that my roadside-rescue Q was a 2009, but then I looked again at the Age Guide, and I saw that DR was the charcoal grill date code for 2006.

Do Weber gas grill serial numbers follow the same prefix dating scheme as charcoal grills?  Is my Q really a 2006?

I think if you go on Weber website and register the serial number it will tell you the year

Does not tell me the year.  It has purchase date and registered date fields, but the purchase date is whatever you put in when you fill out the registration form.

I stand corrected, I just looked at my registered gasser and same thing

For my SSP, I put in 20 December, 1997 - the day I graduated from college. 

It gave me a picture and schematics of a Gen 2 Performer... :/
