Curb pickup today in Bethesda, MD.

A 13 bar cook box is an inch too long for a silver c frame

It can be done with a little modification to the frame.

I saw this plate attached to the cookbox bolt alongside the frame. I'm guessing that this plate is some sort of heat shield for the plastic durawood near the cookbox. Does anyone know what this part is for?

Yep, that's exactly what it's for. I think the technical term for it is "spacer bracket" I always put one on even if I'm doing wood slats.

Thanks Steve. I have not seen it on other 1000's. It's interesting how the Silver series' plastic tables have built in nubbins that act as spacers.

It only came on durawood grills, although I've seen plenty of melted durawood slats that were next to the cookbox anyway. The changes between the Genesis 1000 and Silver B models are interesting, some make sense and others pure cost cutting on Weber's part.

The spacer bracket and a stainless cook box bolt are the best combination

They steal my strawberries and cause other damage, but I have a fix for that.
