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.I saw this plate attached to the cookbox bolt alongside View attachment 120142the 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?
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.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.
Squirrels are the Devil..They steal my strawberries and cause other damage, but I have a fix for that.

@LMichaels I always like your description "we bit sad" From now on I think I will title this grill WBS grill.At worst case there it looks like some good parts. If you're good fabbing stuff I'd lay odds you could turn it into a verry nice grill. Though right now it looks a wee bit sad![]()
It is strange. Since the previous owners might buy it back, maybe they'll know.That is the darndest thing. I get it. Stuff happens but how did it not crack the porcelain?
You might be able to pound that back out if you get the crease in between two pieces of wood to protect the finish.It is strange. Since the previous owners might buy it back, maybe they'll know.
I guess it depends on the way you look at it. To me that lid is already ruined so trying to make it look better is a no lose proposition.IDK, the old saying lightning don't hit twice in the same spot. What are the odds someone managed to get incredibly lucky and not crack it and then not crack it trying to go back? I think I'd leave it be especially the people might buy it back
