Yep, that one is pretty bad. The grates will actually fall into the grill when you scrub them off.

Thanks, I will get it stripped, cleaned and looking brand new asap! Only obvious issue is the 2 warming lids have missing enamel, i may get them re enameled in a color perhaps. Rest of the grill is in amazing condition including the flavorizer bars. The grates are SS and ultra heavy duty, they just need a sparkle. One thing not included was any CI griddle, I will need to measure up tomorrow to see what if any weber inserts fit. The weber crafted would be cool if correct size!!
It appears the cookbox is aluminum and was painted on the inside from new it seems, I may consider getting sand blasted.

It's not aluminum, it's porcelain coated steel so be very careful with it. I wouldn't do anything more aggressive than what you might do to a Genesis 1000 lid to get it clean. I'm glad someone on the forum got it, it does look like a beauty.

Steve, The image below where you can see paint missing, this appears to be aluminum but i cannot get a proper look until tomorrow.
Hi Paul,
The endcaps on the summit firebox are cast aluminum. The body of the forebox is porcelain enamel steel

You're right, that part is aluminum.

Thanks, that makes sense apart from the aluminum is painted black it seems which is unusual right?

All of the models had the aluminum parts painted black. Not sure why it's found to be unusual

Because everyone freaks out at the prospect of there being any paint on the inside of a grill.

Hard to tell from the photos that there is or is not paint in there. Mine was bare aluminum inside painted outside.

I would think that having paint in the very edges as shown in the photo is fine, especially for an open top grill. Also, it really isn't paint if it is factory finish. It might be some kind of coating that doesn't give off toxic fumes when heated like rattle can paint would. If the entire inside of the aluminum side panels is painted, I would be surprised.

Yeah, if it did come that way from the factory I'm sure it's nothing to be concerned about.

The images on another members post indicate the AL sides are painted black. Think im still tempted to get shot blast and have inside bare. Btw the SS grates are 9mm rod construction and have some serious heft!
Each grate size is 440mm x 300mm
