I believe you will be very happy, Val! :smilekettle: Keep us updated

Ever since @Bruce and I did our Kansas City BBQ Adventure last spring (meeting up with TVWBB local member and friend @Dave in KC) I get asked about my favorites. While we enjoyed all our meals, I tell people that if I ever get to go back for just one day, it will be this Joe’s for lunch and Q39...

Jim, I almost recommended a smoke tube. Good insights.

Cody, I actually agree that these boxes do have some positive benefit. I would love to do a "Myth Buster" comparing where the smoker box is an inch below the grate level vs. the Weber design with the openable lid at grate level. Having that door that allows adding more chips/pellets seems...

I know that you already know this, Steve, but just for observation, you could do the same to a regular set, if the need came up. Just cut-off wheel in two places. I did it on a 300 I sold because I wanted the removable GBS section to center over the "sear" section like it should have. I had to...

I will be very interested in what you think when you get a chance to give them a good look - and maybe compare to a clean set of those Weber 9930 grates.

https://tvwbb.com/threads/stainless-steel-grate-throwdown-challenge-results.78876/page-6#post-1225002 Josh, the more reviews the better! Other than the center support that gets a little in the way of using my preferred Chargon cleaning tool, I can't see anything to fault in these incredibly...

ANOTHER NEW CONTENDER: Enter Dictirdy. Yah, it's a pretty wacky name, but the product is exceptional. Recently showing up on Amazon at 50% off, this has to be the most unbelievable price ($39.59) for an almost perfect set of super heavy, 304 stainless, 9mm grates. They check just about every...

They are very straight.

When time allows, I will add this new set to my long running Stainless Steel Grate Throwdown Challenge thread.

P Thank you for the honest update, Steve. I am sorry and disappointed that they aren’t the high class solution we all were hoping for. Those of you who bought should be sure to give honest, thorough reviews on Amazon. Maybe the manufacturer will take notice and do something.

Although I took advantage of extra Amazon Visa points for delaying delivery until after Christmas, my set arrived today. I am VERY pleased. Very heavy real stainless. High quality that I think anyone here would be proud to show off on a keeper grill. Hard to justify spending two to four or more...

That would potentially be an extra nice contrast. Although it had a black painted frame, it is kind of like the 1st gen Summit with a black hood which had nice contrasting stainless and black aspects:

I doubt you will see a deal like this again. Good enough for any keeper and priced competitively with way lesser grates you might use in a flip grill. Thanks for posting the helpful pictures and specs, @Bruce :coolkettle: .

Well, I broke out my little Ninja in the close to zero temps today. Low and behold my control panel is starting to delaminate as well. Nonetheless, it made a fun cook of “Ninja burgers”:
