Ok gasers, my genesis gold, about 13 or 14 yrs old caught on fire at the manifold and burnt the back 2 knobs up into puddles of gue.

Is it salvageable? Parts from where?

It is salvageable but I would like to know why it caught fire.

If working on these is not your thing, it might be a better idea to look for something else on CL or go new with a brand new Genesis

BTW who took the baseball bat to the lid?  Hope it was not you......  :)

No my mom bought this for me. She got a discount because of the dent. LOL

The cross over burner I think it's called rusted away and the the burner tubes started rusting. I think the burner tube fell out of the end of the manifold and that's where the fire was. Directly under the knobs.

So I ordered a kettle from Amazon in time for Easter family get together.

Then I found this app and thought I might try to put her all back together for no real reason since I really like the charcoal kettle.

You will need to get a new set of burners and some extra knobs.  You might also in the future pull that thing apart and clean it out.  I think a little standard maintenance and upkeep will go a long way.

Easy

You can fix it with the help of people here and parts from Weber, as stated when you are fixing it clean it . You have a great grill that with some basic care should go for another dozen years or so.

If you're willing to spend about $100 on it you'll be in great shape depending on what you need

A new set of burners probably some flavorizer bars some knobs and new grates ( grates will push you over the $100 mark)

Don't buy knockoffs buy Weber burners and either their stainless components or rcplanebuyer on eBay.
