I haven't cooked on the new style GGA grate but it's not getting good reviews. I recently replaced my flavorizer plate with a SS from rcplanebuyer on eBay. It's excellent. Love using it for a quick cook.

the old flavorizer in mine is falling apart.  I assume the new one drops in?  My grate is pretty toasted as well but really, rarely do I used new grates.  I let the rust and fall apart and then replace them.

GGA's no longer come with the Flavorizer plate. Now it's just a slotted cook grate. Presumably no slots are in the center, over the burner. But, still ...

I'm back at a computer so I can tag people...

Thanks @Troy for reformatting and posting this on the site.

There were a lot of people that I reached out to for information about their grills. Thanks @JEBIV @harris92 @bear @Jocool and @hillbilly for sending me pictures and information.
Glad I was able to help.

+1 for the pre 2014 version with flavorizer plate. 

I cannot imagine how the newer version does not cause a grease puddle in the bottom of the grill with foods like brats and burgers.     Seems to act more like an indoor grill with the food right on the cooking plate.

This pre 2014 style flavorizer bar allows for vaporization similar to the flavorizer bars in the larger gas grills.   I would head the SS eBay route as the OEM flavorizer #9201 looks to be discontinued or just as expensive if you can find one.

Yeah.. the whole "idea"  (Marketing!!!) behind flavoizor bars was "it cooks off and adds flavor -and maybe it does! But it's really to keep the grill cleaner as it all vaporizes off like a self cleaning oven.  We even set up a Genesis with a roti motor and chains/gears and star-shaped bars, plain rollers, different shapes, to see if they would clean better or do anything positive.

Well. It significantly added to the cost -SHELVED IDEA!

Something like this:

That looks like the stem off an old gas kettle.

Weber made a purpose table for all portables including the GA

Go Anywhere where you don't have to carry it and there's sidewalks.  Funny how it went from being disco'd to "let's sell a table for it."
