Genesis Jr

[glrasmussen]

I came into this grill on CL Friday. Inspired by Marty's restore, something just striking about these gassers. Since recently gifting a Silver, I have a hole to fill. The exterior looks great. The bad, the guts are shot... The burners are the only thing that can't be sourced... If anybody could help me down a trail to source parts, it would be greatly appreciated.

Very nice, @glrasmussen ! Hope to run into one of those myself...

Greg, what do the burners look like? Perhaps you can reuse the normal Genesis ones and just cut and cap the end?

@pbe gummi bear , They are shot. Removed them last night. I do have a spare set of Gen Tubes. I will be measuring that up tonight.
I need 8" to the burner holes from the valve end, to contain the fire in the box. If i have that, wonder if I could cut and splice

Greg-
This is a GREAT score!   We will figure out how to make you some "remanufactured" burners to replace those ratty old ones!

@Bbqmiller , They are. Something special about a JR. Criss Cross Flavorer bars in a small box, I have the 5500 that has a neat factor. glass doors. I'm all about charcoal, but these are vintage gassers, still part of the history of Weber.

@pbe gummi bear , Think we have figured it out. The old Gen tubes just need to be shortened. To be continued...

Nice, Greg.
I picked up a red one just like it in Arizona this winter from JCNAZ. I plan to make replacement wood slats this summer, which I'll bring back to Tucson and complete the refurb when we return in November. That'll be my 'winter gasser'.
