You know, it makes you wonder how many factories in China are making these things. There has to be at least ten different brands of them that I see. Yes, that one looks shinier than most of the other ones I've seen and it's probably closer to the original factory sheen. Although the original ones were porcelain coated and these are obviously painted.
I've bought two Weber branded replacements in the last few years as well as some aftermarket ones. On the Weber ones, the bracket is nicer than the aftermarket version but I don't like the aluminum drip tray so I use an original porcelain coated one for more authenticity. It is getting to the point, except for sales, that the Weber one really isn't that more expensive than the aftermarket version though.
Yeah I agree. I think the last Weber one I bought was in July for $18. I just try to keep my eye out for deals. I have more than a few different places I just try to check regularly and see if they have anything new.
You got yourself one of the old good ones, for a decent price too. Did you put it on a grill? I would save it for a special restoration myself. eBay find?
I'm pretty sure I still have that one in the box. I've been lucky. Almost all of my grills come with excellent condition original grease tray and catch pan. The catch pan holder usually gets the worst wear.
The bracket always rusts out first and you've been lucky that you haven't had any big drip trays that are toast. It's funny, even here I can get one that's nearly perfect and then one that goes right in the trash.
I've had a couple of drip trays that are no good but I don't recall any of my original porcelain enamel catch pans bad just the catch pan holder.
Yeah, that's a toss up too. I've got some that are still useable but a little too rusty to use in a restoration.
Thanks just bought these but I was under the impression it includes burner tubes because of the photo but now that I look at the listing more it doesn’t seem like it does.
I sure hope you have better luck with it than I did with mine. There is a thread about coffee makers in a different place. Have a great Dead Buzzard Day!After thinking about it for 3 years, I got a Moccamaster on Black Friday sale. I ran 2 cycles of water tonight and first brew tomorrow morning.
Ok then that’s amazing, thank you for posting!!
I’ve wanted taller clubs for years knowing all along that it was my skill set and not the clubs that were holding back my game. I’m thrilled to have finally crossed over that threshold but I am going miss the satisfaction of carding an occasional W over a name brand player with my 20+ year old mixed bag of goodies.
