Nah, they still came with porcelain coated flavorizer bars and cast iron grates. The better models including the LX also have a slide lock for the flip up table. I know the Skyline grills came with stainless guts.

That's right! My skyline came with SS and my LX came with porcelain ceramic.
Those stamps stainless steel seem like high quality SS that lasts.

I have yet to get ahold of any of the platinum, skyline series grills. A couple pinstripe lids, but that is about it. But one of the Golds I have has the stamped SS grates, and for a grill that was either kept very clean or used very little, they were all beat to crap. Busted welds and very flimsy. Not to say they may not have been China borne replacements though.

Here is the grates and flav bars from my Skyline.

More than likely that's what they are then, I've seen near exact copies of the Weber grates for sale on Amazon for years. The real ones hold up great, I've been using the same set for about twenty years now.

That's impressive!

I've had stamped SS in other grills I picked up and some are definitely thin and flimsy aftermarket. I can easily tell the difference.

Weber quality.

If you have handled the real ones it is pretty easy to tell the difference.

I would love to watch how those stamped grates are made.

Anyone ever used these flavor bars from a Chinese company I’m not even going to try to pronounce?

Nope, are the reviews any help?

I saw they were high, but I feel like Amazon reviews are so hit or miss. I bought some casters with poor reviews during deal days figuring I can always send them back, and they were great.

As long as you're okay with sending them back if it's not what you're looking for. If that's worth your time then I would say definitely go for it. You have nothing to lose except for your time returning them. As long as it isn't urgent to get them ASAP.
If it's for a flip they will probably be fine.

Really the only thing that would make them unusable is the length. If no reviews mention that, you're probably good.

If you're trying to save every penny. You might consider these. I know it's not your favorite brand though.

I’d buy those in a heartbeat, but Amazon is showing $36.99 for me. How do I get the Josh price?!
