This Weber Genesis followed me home, and:

My wife was happy to let me have him! My old Weber from the 1980's finally S#!t the bricks and I needed a new one. I found this 2007 unit on CL for $300. These sold for $700 or more new and this one has minimal use. Note that it has all SS appointments on the outside. Also the burners, grates and flavorizer bars are SS. The hood is double layer with a porcelain enamel finish and SS trim. I love my new grill!

As a bonus:

The seller also gave me the nearly new gas tank which is 3/4 full.

Nice Nick

I have a Silver A series from 2001.

I burn it, scrape it and clean it real good twice a year plus normal stuff, and they are great.

Enjoy that Grill while the weather is nice.

Good for you, Nick!

I'm waiting for a perfect storm that will never happen.

1) S/S or heavily coated porcelain cooking grids that are smooth
2) 4 S/S burners and a side burner. Burners must mount to things that won't disintegrate
3) lava rock platform- no "flavorizer" bars

Why?

Lava rock out performs flavorizing bars for utilizing hot/cold spots and provides more flavorizing than bars.

4 burners allows me to indirectly cook up to about 20# of pork for pulled pork, use one burner for a couple of 'dogs, et cetera.

Chromed cooking grids are useless after a year or so and lightly coated cast ones (the rough ones) are almost as bad as they chip and rust when you clean them.

My existing burners are fine, but I've had to rig hangers for the back side of them because they disintegrated from the heat.

Oh well! At least I'm now using my '50's-'60's charcoal grill sometimes!

We got one of these back in '08. It's a fantastic grill! My only complaint is that the battery operated start died a year out. My parents have an older model Genesis that has a mechanical start that's still working after 15 years.
