Hello All,
Newbie here on the board (but long-time Weber user). Moving from a Genesis S-330 to a Summit S-470 arriving this week and looking for any input and/or advice ya'll may have on planned upgrades. Here's what I have in mind before firing it up:
1) Replace flavorer bars with rcplanebuyer's.
2) Replace smoker box with rcplanebuyer's kit (already have a dedicated pellet smoker).
3) Replace stock grates with two smaller 70373 grates (~8" used in 600-series) placed on left & right in order to center an opening over the Sear Station for a Weber 7585 GBS grate, 7404 Griddle or Grill Grates.
4) Treat exterior with Everbright ProtectaClear.
The thought process regarding grate replacement is it would be a slick setup for reverse searing (my preference) in that the center Sear Station burner could be used to provide indirect heat for the side grates while simultaneously pre-heating the searing grates (or griddle). Alternately, two of the three GBS Grate, Griddle or Grill Grates could be moved to the side positions with the smoker box replacement grate (~3-3/4") in the center, providing a myriad of cooking options, particularly when using GBS drop-in components.
Well, whatcha' think? Am I missing anything? Any and all comments will be appreciated!
