Damn straight it's a workhorse. I'd also like to know which years got the SS sweeps. I'll have to check my dad's 2005 when I get there next month.
A few days ago there was one listed here for like $85. Hmm ... but I only contacted the seller because it was listed as being "either charcoal or gas" and that it had "a trash can."
I carefully and respectfully emailed to let them know the truth; they were appreciative and thanked me. The next day, the listing was modified but still claimed the charcoal bin could also be used as a trashcan.
And the price had been lowered to $65! Shit, now I gotta email them back and just pick the bitch up. Already gone! LOL
I purchased 6 gen 2 since early summer and all of them have ss sweeps. The burners are also all ss. Gave away 3 of them to friends and families but not after swapping the sweeps and burners with non-ss versions. I used the ss sweeps/ burners on my 3 ssp so now all my grills have ss sweeps/buners.
