Maybe now that Weber has a new owner they will see that offering an IR burner would be a good idea

Nope - I got about 20 of them from a company that makes them for the wholesale market and it took about 6-9 months to sell them off around 4 years ago. I posted what info I had when I sold out but I don't think anyone was successful in contacting them anymore.

I meant I like the chrome/white thermometer better. Now that you mention it maybe the black bezel on the white thermometer would be OK also.

I like the chrome on black better than black on black.

With the deflector plate and the ability to raise and lower the coals they seem to be really cool all in one charcoal grills.

My first grill was a Sunbeam. I got it as a wedding present in 88 and and finally gave it away over 20 years later when I found my first Weber at the curb. The grill was great but had a weak stand that I had to reinforce over the years with angle iron to hold it up. Ah the days of Lava Rock.

I would snap that up in a hot second. I have been looking for a deal on a HB for a long time. There are non close and non cheap.

Outstanding. I really liked the stainless shelves on mine and had doubts about you going wood but WOW! I love how it turned out. The routing, alternate sizes, and finish are spot on. Beautiful grill and a keeper.

I don't recall the dampener on any of the 5 I had but I can see why someone would want one. I don't recall ever running mine to inferno levels but they do sell the shutter system for low and slow. Maybe that could go with it? It looks pretty factory on Bruce's.

One thing (and you may have read about it) is that grease management is non-existing on BM grills. I never had to empty the grease tray as it either burns up (as you noticed) or the little that gets through just sits on the bottom. A twice a year cleaning did the trick for me. Much different...

Nice job - Looks like a great cook. That's what is missing (Flames) from a lot of gas grills unless there is a grease fire;-) Kind of why I do charcoal sometimes on grilling, always on smoking. I have some lava rock that I have been meaning to put in my gasser for fun.

I have not used the ss ones but read reviews that said they didn't last very long but work pretty well. I've used the briquettes and tiles with holes. A lot of people still like lava rock and use them on top of both ceramic and ss.

Looks like new and parts seem interchangeable. Be really fun to test out!

I just clicked the Amazon link you mentioned and got this:
