So are the bowls different from new or are the state tabs higher in the new ones? What's different?

@Vwbuggin64 @HoosierKettle The bowls are the same size, but YES the grate straps are lower in the bowl in the old 26'rs, so the grates - Cook AND charcoal grates are smaller than the 26.75's.
Here are the two charcoal grates, the one on the bottom is the new size and the old style on top of it.
NEW Style
OLD style
Cook grate straps on the 26.75" are @2" from the lip of the bowl.
Whereas the oldies Cook grate straps are @ 4" from the lip of the bowl. The straps are the same size on both models with the same distance from the bottom grate to the top.
While it doesn't appear to be much difference in cook grate size, they are not interchangeable.
Here is a riser that I made for my old Grey that will work on the New and Old cook grates
Hope this helps.
