For some reason I was blocked from accessing the Forum (on this computer ... no problem from my phone) after attempting to upload more than three photos when I originally tried to post this a couple of weeks ago. This situation just reverted to normal today and so I'm giving it another go. The same thing happened this past winter and, like this time, just went away after a few weeks. Strange.
Anyway, I picked up this Genesis in Arizona this winter. I did a basic break down and cleaning in Tucson but just wasn't able to make time to finish restoring her until mid-July. My goodness what a beautiful machine. The i.d. sticker under the gas control panel indicates a 1987 build. It was originally built as a Natural Gas burner but was converted to propane. The original NG parts were still with her and included in the purchase. She was VERY dirty - only about 1/4 inch space between the (cast iron) grates due to buildup of crud!
[I'm still unable to upload any more than three photos. At least this time I'm not being restricted from the site. Has anyone else experienced this sort of behavior? I'm sure there is no site restriction to three photos.... is there?!]
