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.
