I will just leave this here


 
My friend’s neighbor wheeled this out to the curb yesterday. He called me and I asked him to stash it until I could come get it. I went and got it about 15 minutes ago. Far and away the cleanest bottom panel I’ve seen on a propane version of the 310. I may have to move this to the front of the line, and see if I can move it before Memorial Day. The damage on the left door is the only flaw on this grill.

Pretty good for free.

Just messing around today not getting much done. Cleaned up two old sets of cast iron grates with no plans for them. One set has a really thick ceramic coating and the other one had no coating.

Looks like new. What was your process on these, any different than the Stainless Steel ones? I have a set or two of the old true cast iron grates that have the markings Jon Tofte frequently mentions.

Yeah I just used my new DeWalt XR impact wire wheels and then rubbed them with cooking oil. It worked good on these but I would use it on the thin coated ones. I see nothing wrong with using on this thick coated or non coated. I would be afraid with the thin coated ones to get chipping of the coating.
 
I did do a comparison of all three of my DeWalt impacts. The old Atomic (lower model) and my 10 year old XR and my new XR.

The new XR with big claims of much higher torque and speed was just barley noticably better than my 10 year old XR which is fine because I really like my old XR. I just had to try a new one. If anyone is in the market for a DeWalt impact mainly for this purpose. I'd say you don't have to buy a new top of the line DeWalt XR. An old used XR will come close in performance. The gap between these two XR impacts is close but the gap between either XR and the Atomic (lower model) is pretty big. The Atomic is not powerful enough or really suitable for the punishment of wire wheelin grills.20250415_192113~2.jpg

Those coated cast iron grates are fine right up until the first piece of that coating flakes off, that's when I ditched mine for stainless steel. The uncoated ones are the older, more desirable ones for some collectors.

Yes the old uncoated heavy ones are the best. But I far prefer my 3/8" or 9mm 304 SS for everything. I think cast iron has the advantage when you're talking about thin stainless steel but when you get into thick high quality high grade stainless steel I don't see anything that cast iron can do better.
 
While not the best, this is the Ryobi drill that I use to do 95% of my wire wheel grill work, the other 5% being done by my Ryobi angle grinder with a cup brush. This tool is definitely not up to the power standards of the DeWalt impact driver, but it does get the job done without complaining too much as long as you use a 4 ah battery in it. It's also the oldest Ryobi tool I have at well over ten years old at this point. IMG_20250427_221532271.jpg

Judging by your work it must be pretty darn good!
