I love the original 1000-3000 model Genesis gassers. Factor in reliability, serviceability, performance and looks and it's probably my favorite gas grill of all time... So when a fellow club member approached me about doing a top-to bottom restore on one I was both excited and honored to get started. I've done multiple refurbs in the past but never anything even close to this...
The build was planned start to finish with every detail laid out in advance. A side burner was not desired, but we wanted to go with all wood slats so 2200 Platinum fit the bill perfectly. The 2200 is somewhat rare in a sense that it has wood slat surfacing and swing up tables on both sides of the grill giving you a ton of surface area to work with. It also has two levels of Flavorizer bars, 13 in total, for extremely even heating across the whole cooking area.
In the end 4 or 5 different grills were cannibalized in order to pick and choose all the best parts. The frame was completely disassembled and sandblasted down to bare metal then powdercoated for a like-new long lasting finish. The firebox was also completely blasted inside and out and looks like the day it rolled off the showroom floor. It has new burners, new SS Flavorizer bars, new starter module and electrode, new cast iron grates, new lid swing rack, new warming rack, new grease pan, new grease tray, and all new stained and finished slats. I was also fortunate to have found a like new reversible griddle, complete rotisserie kit, and an original user manual\cookbook... oh and of course a cover
It will be a bit difficult to watch this one roll out of the garage but thankfully it couldn't possibly be going to a better home. A big time Weber fan and just an all round great guy! Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this project and I hope you are as happy with the results as I am.
