A co-worker told me yesterday she had been given a BBQ. It apparently had been sitting in a shed for fifteen years. They cleaned it up (replaced no parts) put on a new LP tank and it fired right up.

It is a Weber and has glass doors. She even got the original owners manual (in great shape) and it identifies it as a Weber Genesis Series 5000 LP Gas Grill. The serial number on the unit is DL5-EH28725.

Can anyone out there asist with more info eg year built etc.

Would appreciate any info that the folks on this forum can provide.

Can you get a pic?

ok, i thought the lid had glass. well, she has a really nice unit for sure. the bast way to get the info is to call weber.

Nice grill. Grillwise it's basically just an old Genesis with a side burner and a cool cabinet. The regular Silver B-type grates will fit it, but it needs the double set of flavorizer bars (still available, about $65 for stainless).

I believe the "EH" in the serial number means it was made in 1994.

And people are always asking "what's so special about a Weber grill?"
