That's the right one for an old Genesis. I guess you would have to compare to other options to determine its value. I know the "Crafted Kitchen" one is only about 3/4 of a Spirit and therefore a classic Genesis surface. It's goes for about $110, but you also need the Crafted Kitchen special subgrate to hold it. Of course, with that, you also can use their other accessories. I am actually looking at that to install on my 1st gen Summit which uses the same grates as an older Genesis. If I am right, the Crafted Kitchen grate would span three of the four burners on my Summit which I think would be a very positive thing whether cooking at moderate temperatures (griddle, wok, etc.) or getting that sear grate they offer really nice and hot.Weber 6787 Carbon Steel Full Size Griddle For Spirit 300 Series Gas Grills : BBQGuys

$125 (right now, anwyay) is a lot more palatable to the wallet. It looks to fit, with just a little needed breathing room, in an older Genesis or a 3-burner Spirit. I wonder how a Genesis 1000 setup with one of these would compare to the new stand-alone options from Weber, Blackstone and Members Mark?One thing I like is it's stainless steel. Back in the 60s my mom lusted after a corning ware flat top electric range. No clue why. They were awful devices. Anyway she got one, and with it a large "deep" griddle tri ply in all SS exterior. I have inherited it and I gotta say I LOVE the thing.
I think if you took out the flavorizer bars it would do quite favorably. Find something like that grill I picked up a couple weeks ago for $0 solid but in need of cleaning and bars, throw a cheap set of grates on it to simply hold up the griddle, a little elbow grease and you got yourself a pretty fine griddle I would think$125 (right now, anwyay) is a lot more palatable to the wallet.

Good point. But as I pointed out earlier, I am down to a WSK and Genesis Ii and no longer need or want more grills.Yeah I guess $200 or more is a little "steep". Also I am thinking I would put it on a dedicated grill. Not one I have to use for "double duty". But, at $200 you're getting dangerously close to a decent stand alone unit. Decisions decisions
I think for your situation and what you are wanting to do it is a fine choice. It is just hard to see why they need to charge that much for just the flat metal, compared to buying a whole separate griddle, but I do think you can count on it being well made. It sounds like it will work perfectly for your needs.Good point. But as I pointed out earlier, I am down to a WSK and Genesis Ii and no longer need or want more grills.
I used it last night and it worked really well. It’s made of carbon steel.
I would like to know how thick it is?
The Weber one is 3/8 inchI would like to know how thick it is?
I looked at their website and theirs weighs 16 lbs and has a cross base on the bottom. The Weber one I bought weighs 26 pounds. Sorry if I caused confusion…The Weber one is 3/8 inch
