First cook on One Touch Platinum AKA Platypus

[Joe Anshien]

So I took the grill on its maiden voyage (for me). I cooked some Lamb T-Bones and hot dogs using lump charcoal. It was fun cooking over fire again vs the set it and forget it Masterbuilt Gravity 800. Everything came out great. A few minor issues. I am not sure I am going to get used to the lid handle in the front. To get it on and off I need to use the damper control handle with the front handle. I would definitely have to seal the lid as there is a fair amount of leakage. Also can someone give me an idea on how to seal the tables as they get stained with grease so easily.

Nice going Joe.I like to use an oil based stainless steel polish or Maguire's back to black plastic restorer on faded tables. Before & after pics of a flip I did.

That is the exact grill I have that I am trying to to replace the bowl on. I think it only has 2 screws holding it on. Can anyone verify this?

@Bob Erdman that looks great! I am pretty sure I have some type of stuff in the garage I will have to try. I know I have some tire shine.
@Regina S Yes same grill 2 screws. Did you check your thread. Someone posted a .pdf with Weber's directions for replacing the bowl.

I had this same grill for a few months and got all cleaned up cooked some ribs on it and had the same problem with stains. i tried a few things then, i removed them cleaned sanded wiped down, and then sprayed on a stain clear coat for plastic and it worked good and looked even better. So good my neighbor had to have and still uses it .
