Video- Quality Grill Parts Heavy Duty Charcoal Baskets vs Stock Weber Baskets

[LightningBoldtz]

nice vid dude!

if you're looking for content feel free to use it on the WKC Blog

I think this would be great to put on the blog, I will talk to @Troy and see what we can write up.

I may mock something up and send it your want for any of your input.  I think it would be great to get a could of how many briquettes each can hold.  THe SS ones look like they might hold a little less.

Weber baskets are aluminized steel. Same as the ash sweeps. I would like to see stainless ash sweeps available.

I thought the new H drive ash sweeps were stainless.

Nope. Watch the grill overview video on the master touch on weber's site. They are aluminized steel.

I don't mind the aluminized steel as I have gotten 10 years of heavy use out of mine and while they still function, they are rusting and will need replaced in the near future.  I think the number one thing that ruins the sweeps and seizes them up on used grills that we find is lack of use and when people leave the lid off and let rain mix with the ash rust the sweeps at the attachment point. I leave my ots exposed but I have always kept the lid on with damper shut. It drives me crazy when I see weber grills out in the open with the lid hanging. I think my sweeps will continue to function for a long time to come but when the aluminized coating wears off, they do not operate as smoothly and crap sticks to them worse making cleaning harder and more frequent.

The aluminized last well and are adequate but stainless would be a nice upgrade if it were available.

You're right bud. Thought I read they were stainless somewhere but nope. After replacing my old ones I'm much more diligent about using foil and drip pans for every cook.

Wow thanks!  Looks like they had them on certain models for a period of time. Part number 90720. Ereplacement does not have them and are listed as obsolete. Maybe weber still has some?

Sorry for the thread drift capt.
