I recently picked up a Genesis 1000 for a great deal. It needs some work but is actually ok shape. I will be posting pics later once i get it all up and running but my question deals with propane. I have never owned a non charcol grill so fo me this is a whole new world. So, anyway, this grill seems to have the Quick Connect hose and I also got two tanks with quick connect on them. Do they do exchanges for these as i have never seen this before? And if not how hard is the conversion to the "normal" tank set up.
Thanks

i'd bet you could find someone to refill the bottles with a quick connect fitting. we go to the local uhaul. i doubt anyone would have them to swap out though.

If not, a new hose will cost about $24. Not a bad idea to replace it if you don't kno whow old the other hose is.

I have a quick connect fitting on my Performer... came to me that way. I got tired of hiking to the one local place that had the right fitting, so I bought one of the little fitting adapters from a hardware store. It cost less than $10, and now I just keep it with the grill and bring it when I have the tank filled.
