My new grill, plated steel, actually caught fire (flames). It is the Gourmet Grill from Weber.
The grill was brand new, and I seasoned it with a very light coating of vegetable oil. The right hand side caught on fire, and now it is a very dark blue. I think the plating actually burnt off.
Has this happened before? I called Weber, they said NEVER oil the grate...NEVER!
Is there a 100% stainless steel option on this grill?
