I had a similar situation a few years ago.
Now, I pick up about a half dozen grills a year that have the add-on fuel gauge.
I remove every single one and toss them in the trash.
$200 and $300 cheaper than the comparative Searwood models.
Slightly smaller, and no searing capabilities. More of a typical
pellet smoker and in the lower price range where the majority
of the competition lives.
Corporate logos are still available on grills and accessories.

However, it looks like logos baked in the enamel are only
available on kettle lids with orders over 500.
Great looking grill. I saw it the other day on
The Genesis Club as well. The blackout on mine
is show some slight fade, and I need to completely
repaint one of the shelf end caps. Members Mark
grill cleaner pretty much removed it.
As I suspected. Ed P, thanks for doing the home work on this.
Your average guy that cleans his grill once a year will not likely
notice a difference. Those of us that clean two or three a year,
will see a difference that requires a little more elbow grease.
