304 Stainless - Magnetic?

[John-NY]

I bought this warming rack which is advertised to be 304 Stainless.

AOREWTGGH 7513 Grill Warming Rack for Weber Spirit 700, Genesis Silver B&C, 7513/88719 304 Stainless Steel Warming Rack Replacement for Weber Genesis 1000-5500, Gold B & C, 24.9 x 4.7 x 4 in https://a.co/d/06GlsGqE

However, upon receiving it, it is magnetic.

What does that ultimately mean? Could it still be quality stainless? Or is it gonna rust away quickly like all the rest?

 

[Steve Hoch]

I guess time will tell on the quality. It has to be a big step up from the Weber chrome plated racks that only last a few years before the chrome starts pitting like the rear bumper of a '74 Cutlass Supreme.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

If I remember right that one is $10 more than the Weber chrome plated steel one. I think I would still get that one even if it's magnetic. I haven't found a better option. Ill probably still order it. Thank you for sharing that information.

If anyone knows of a higher quality warming rack for a x000 I'd be interested.

Just checked the one I bought last year and it’s slightly magnetic, not nearly as much as the swinging rack
Probably 400 series stainless

Did you find a stainless steel swinging rack?

I think I've seen them in the past, but not this last time I was just looking for a cheap one.

Ok thank you Steve I appreciate it.

Frankly, it might not be stainless at all. Be wary of Chinese metallurgy from unknown manufacturers, that's my advice as an engineer and a member of Vine Voices. Amazon does not verify any of that stuff. Whenever you see oddly named Amazon sellers/manufacturers with nonsensical spellings (e.g. AOREWTGGH), it is likely a shady Chinese company attempting to 'game' both Amazon and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

My wife is an attorney and just attended a seminar on this tactic to overwhelm the USPTO by flooding it with AI-contrived 'company' names and patent applications. It enables predatory Chinese manufacturers to continue selling counterfeit/knockoff products while paperwork is 'pending'.

 

[LMichaels]

Likely a crap shoot. Enough people are citing the "quality" as 5 stars. But like all said above. Quality can be sketchy. Bottom line even if it's not 304SS and 430 that is staill a FAR cry better than chrome plated steel

I think this is enough to convince me to return them. Thanks for the info!

I wasn’t too happy to find them being magnetic to begin with.

Are you going to get a stock Weber warming rack?

 

[Steve Hoch]

He may as well just get the factory one for twenty bucks. It's more than likely all the other ones that claim to be stainless steel are the exact same one with just a different weirdo brand name.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

I really want SS. I want everything in my BBQ to out last me. Maybe I can have Dave fab me a couple of them.

Unless it's 409 and any 400 series is far less quality then 301, 304 and 316 especially for corrosion.

re-read. Yes not best quality but better than chrome plated plain steel.

I haven't seen any of their stuff in a while. I thought they went out of business. Just make sure you get the right model for whatever grill you want it for. That rack is for a Silver A.

Not by much to be honest. I work with steel for a living.

Should I just get the Weber chrome plated steel? Maybe get some extras?

I mean, that's what I do. They are only twenty bucks. If you don't use the grill, they last forever. If you do use the grill they usually last me 4 or 5 years.
