Cast grill insert

Mrnomad · August 29, 2018, 07:40:13 AM

i picked up a blue SSP that came with a cast iron grill inisde a modified stainless grate. I tossed the whole affair due to extensive rust/corrosion thinking it was something the previous owner had created. I also credited (wrongly?) this with the enamel popping off on the kettle. Now I came across this same insert in a CL ad. Any info on this grill? Years, models etc.?
Thanks.

I believe that (grate+insert) was an optional Weber accessory that has been discontinued. You really chucked the whole thing, even the stainless part?

According to other posts on here, if you had kept the stainless part of the grate, Weber still makes a cast part (or at least they are still available) for one of the gassers that would have fit in the stainless grate.

That's the other style of the griddle kit! The grate kit was sold up into the 2007 year and it was combo'ed with a griddle plate or the giant Sear Grate that was from a gen 1 genesis grill.
The griddle set is more popular but every once in a while you can find the Sear Grate set.
Sucks that you chucked it :-(
As far as I know the grate part is just standard chrome plated and not SS.

I've always thought I'd enjoy getting my hands on one of those!

Older Genesis CI and Porcelain coated CI grates fit the rectangular inserts. I've got an original that came with my SSP, and an extra BNIB grid holder. Apparently Lodge has a reversible CI flat and ridged skillet that fits. FWIW the grid holders are not stainless.

I have an unused one of those with the Cast Iron grate insert. but not the Griddle. I'm pretty sure the grate is coated steel, not SS.
