Well, after going through a couple $200-$300 cheapie grills, most recently a superstore end of season clearout.(piece of junk!) I have decided to try a real grill. Since I dont have $900+ lying around presently I decided to try something.... Picked up an older used Weber Genesis. I think its the Genesis 2000, vintage around 1997/98. Anyways, picked it up for 40 bucks and brought it home. Stopped at home depot on the way and picked up some high heat paint and some all weather coating/stain for the wood. After a few hours of cleaning and elbow grease, here is my vintage grill....

Cooking grid, burners and flavorizer bars are in great shape still, so all I need to do now is pick up a new warming rack and warming basket and this thing will be good as new!
Pretty excited to give it a go. I was amazed how Weber still stocks parts for this thing considering the age of it. I should be able to get a few years out of it as it sure seems to be made well. Looking forward to grilling with even heat!
Bonus...its red like the Flames.
