Hello!
I received a Genesis Silver in 2000 as a wedding gift, and it has been great. However, after my annual cleaning I discovered that the flavorizer bars were pretty well rusted and rotted. So, in addition to replacing those I think I might replace my grates as well. I have cast iron grates that seem to be in good shape except I really can't get them clean. They are somewhat rusted on the sides and flakes of it can easily be scraped off. However, I can't seem to scrape them enough to get rid of the junk.
If I also buy new grates is there a recommended way to "season" them prior to use, similar say to what you would do to season a cast iron frying pan?
Thank you!
