Thanks guys, and will do Steve. This Summit FT 400 is actually a really sweet grill with a great design. Overall its in real nice shape but was beyond dirty inside - i think a blessing in disguise as the grease seemed to have helped preserve it. 3 full soaks of oven cleaner and its finally now back to metal/porcelain.
The grill is at least 15 years old and internally hardly a spec of rust and the whole body is solid as a rock. Thank you Weber. Will have before and after shots hopefully tomorrow...
Seriously ... You've run out of kettle purchases, and this is what you need to buy to get your fix??!!??!! C'mon, now.
lol, Hey a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do
Use a griddle or some cast iron to cook on that. You would have good temp control.
Based on the small amount of info I've been able to find some units actually came with a griddle grate for half the cooking surface so they are out there. Id love to get two to have the option of a full griddle surface.
The grates on it are stainless steel and are some of the heaviest i've seen on any grill. Really well thought out... I can't believe I've never seen one of these before, its a perfect companion to a performer IMO.
