I've seen reference here to a SS Ash sweep. What model and when was this available? Was the 7409 ever stainless? How about the 7444?
What are the non-SS ash sweeps made of? Steel? Tin? Aluminum? They sure can corrode.
Thanks, Pete
The stainless steel ash sweep part number is 90720. Weber still had them in stock a few months ago and I ordered a couple of them. The CSR led me to believe they would not be available forever. I can't remember the exact price but they were reasonable. Good luck.
Yeah, not much more than the regular 7444s, and I think they work a lot better (and obviously last a lot longer). There is a thread on them somewhere around here.
They were original equipment on some models of the plastic-table Performer... that's where I found my first one in the wild.
Here's that thread: http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/question-for-the-guru's/
When I searched for that part, I came up with this, 90993. Do you think this is the SS? I've seen references to it being the same.

Pretty sure 90993 is NOT the part number you are looking for if you want SS. Part 90720 is through Weber only and I think the link Mike posted above is where I got the idea to order mine.
I thought that number looked familiar. I ordered a set from ereplacement when I restored a red 22" last year.

Thanks. This apparently is not the SS unit. Not sure the diff between this and the 7444.
Part # 90720 is the SS set. I ordered a couple sets back in 2010 for $7 and change each.

Just ordered three of these (90720) direct from Weber. Still available as of Oct '14. $12.65 ea.
Received these today.
Looking at my SS Performer, it looks like it may have an SS ash sweep. Is there a way to know?
How can I ID an SS vs Aluminium ash sweep?
What kettles originally came with an SS ash sweep?
Thanks, Pete

If I open my eyes once and a while, I can figure these things out for myself.

Would SS Sweeps have come on all OTG, OTD, OTP, and performers from all years, or just some years?
Is the sweep on the new MT SS?

You effing idiot. Obviously, the 7409 you cut off your '99 SS Performer wasn't SS. Maybe your '04 is SS.
Would SS Sweeps have come on all OTG, OTD, OTP, and Performers from within the "H" ash sweep era?
Do the current and recent models come with SS ash sweeps?
The "H" style is still current but they only made the setup in stainless steel for a few years around 10 years ago. Not sure which models. It's a great retrofit but a shame they couldn't / didn't continue them since.
Thanks.
Ummm... They made SS sweeps up until last year.. You can tell the difference by just cleaning them and looking at them. Also, look at the newer handle. Its offset a bit vs the ss ones..
I would say the started using them when they switched the old to new style ash buckets, whatever year that was. Only used on OTG OTP and Performers.
Appreciate the clarification. More clues are always good.
Only used on OTG OTP and Performers.
Did they advertise that? If not, it seems like a wasted opportunity not to give people another reason to spend the extra on those models.
Bumping this up. Don't know if it's common knowledge, but I just got off the phone with my Weber rep who told me that they have SS One touch sweeps (90720) in stock. Think he said they show a couple of hundred of them. I ordered 4 sets. Will see what gets delivered.

Two recent rescues of mine ... 18" OTP (EE vent), and an 18" OTG (DH vent).
Both had SS sweeps.
@demosthenes9 - I can confirm they (#90720) are in fact SS as I have since received a set from Weber. They also have 18" SS ash sweeps. The part number is #90719.

I like @Jules V. have replaced all the ash sweeps of my one touch cookers with the SS sweeps I have taken out of kettles I flipped. Had to place an order with Weber CS today. Weber still carries the SS one touch cleaning sweeps (part #90720). They have over 400 of them in stock. The price has gone up considerably since 2010 when @Hofy purchased his for $8 as set. They now cost $24.80. Still a deal considering the less expensive aluminized ones cost $15 that sometimes only last one year.
I ordered those 90720 sweeps, they do not say stainless on the envelope or paper work inside. They are also ferrous on some level. That being said 400 series stainless is cheaper and still has good corrosion resistance, I'm hoping that's what's the deal is because my other stainless sweeps don't react to a magnet at all. Time will tell I guess.

Always have spare ss sweeps. Had purchased at least a dozen grills the past year just for the ss sweeps and burners. Swapped the parts, sometimes with new aluminized version, and turn around and flipped it. Prior to that i was replacing my sweeps every year. The ss sweeps should last as long as the kettle. Seems like they were standard between 2001-2010 on the performers, otp and otg kettles. The later ssp and earlier gen3 came with ss sweeps and burners.
Don't have any of the new sweeps but if they are magnetic, then weber probably had transitioned to 430 ss. The older ones are likely the austenitic 304 variety. Except on the Summit gassers or probably WCG, weber currently uses 430 on most if not all of their products.

All it takes is 5-10 minutes to bring it back to tlife.

Are you interested in selling a set?
