I have a couple 330s and a couple Genesis ii with SS at the moment. Do you want me to check for magnetism?
DealI have some E3xx grates and could check them, I also have grates from a 4 burner Genesis II. You could check yours and I can check mine and we can both post what we find....Let's see if we come up with the same results.
E3xx grates very magnetic.
Genesis II E410 grates very magnetic
I had a set for Silver B and they were NON-magnetic.
That says it all.![]()

That says it all.
Hoping to pick this up this weekend, I’ve got an email in to Dave S since he lives 10 minutes away I might as well see what he has for bars, I am going to order the 9mm Quilmetal with a hose once I have it and verify the hose needed.
Rich is giving me some slats and Z bars which will help me understand the process of replacing that stuff.
My plan is just to cook on this and use it a lot during the week.
Should be fun.
Thanks to all for playing along on this thread.
I’m pretty excited I just want to get it home before I jump up and down.That's so great Bruno!!
Slats and Z bars from Rich is a big score!!
I think those QuliMetal Grates are an excellent choice and Dave's flav bars are a great value in my opinion for what you are getting! I might be more excited about this project than you are lol. I like the way this project is going. Very cool
That's so cool BrunoI’m pretty excited I just want to get it home before I jump up and down.
I have to be honest Josh all your work these last couple months has certainly given me the itch.
I’m not a car guy but to me it’s like keeping a classic on the road.
Best part is I showed the wife the price and she said have fun.
Hi Oak,wow, turned into a great thread... not that im suprised with the folks around here..
glad its going to a good home... i waited months to post this, as i wanted to keep it... once i drafted the the post, it took a while to hit the "post" button... i had pre-posters' remorse and some post-posters' remorse...
@Josh Dekubber totally agree I shoulda kept it... My wife disagrees now that we have another working grill (and egg, and ooni) in the mix...
Even though I dont post on the forum (I joined the night I picked up the Red Head Nov 12, 2021) , I have learned a lot here over the past few years... recipes, techniques, lubing up gas valves, parts, etc... and it was only fitting to post this up here and not craigslist or facebook marketplace..
See ya Saturday Bruno...
Hahaha remember I’m mostly just cooking on this. More daily driver than show car.Hi Oak,
I'm also glad it's going to such a good home and I understand sometimes we can't hang on to everything in life. I hope you can watch and enjoy the transformation of this Grill through this forum. I definitely will!
Larry, we had those big power lines run up here along the interstate about 9-10 years ago. They are supported by huge steel towers all along the interstate. I am sure you saw them on your trips up this way. They were nice shiny steel when they put them up. But they soon turned orangish/redish/brown. My son who is a welder fabricator told them they are made out of "Red Steel". Which seems to be the stuff you mentioned. It quickly gets a coating of rush on the exterior which forms a coating the rust proofs the steel under it.Stainless can be "designed" to do a lot of things. For instance (a tidbit of knowledge from growing up in Chicago), if you ever look at the iconic John Hancock building. Noted the prominent "X" shaped exterior supports. When the building was being erected those were shiny "stainless" steel. But, they're designed to form a "protective" "rust coating" that is only on the surface and then stops any further intrusion of corrosion. Well it's been in good shape nearly 60 years. So I guess it's working![]()
