Yeah wood slats on the bottom instead of wire rack

Oh really? Does the same for durawood then?

 

[Josh Dekubber]

Yes

I wonder if maybe they came with stamped stainless grates and SS flav bars.

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.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

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!

 

[Josh Dekubber]

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.
