I will just leave this here

The front of the cook box where the burner tubes go through tends to start rusting out on those models and it gets quite bad. As long as your grill doesn't suffer from that you may have something there.

The cook box on mine is nearly perfect. Others have reported that Weber will provide a replacement cook box under warranty if you send them picture of one that is rusted out.

I do fabrication work. I have SS sheet, tools and a welder. If worst came to worst I could rebuild my cookbox or fabricate a new one.

How do you remove the Emblem ? Heat gun and dental floss or fishing line ?

What did you use to adhere it back onto the BBQ after you cleaned it up ?

Thanks for the tips !

On an E310 if it's like my E330, the emblem is held on with one nut on the inside.

The angle of that picture looks like an angry owl

Now that I look at it again, that's exactly what it looks like!

Re, the CI vs SS grates. Honestly it's not so much the material but the mass that does the job. I.E., the heavy SS grates Dave Santana made for my Wolf compared to the very heavy raw CI ones it had.................no difference in searing or release performance and I think with the SS ones being slightly better because they have more "mass" than old CI ones had

Yep, I can take apart a grill and put it back together again with hardly any leftover parts anymore. I'm still shooting for zero!

Good memories. I remember the days when I would tear a grill down, clean it up and then go back to put it all together and always have a part or two left over. Not so much on a B/C grill or even 1000-5000 any more, but if go off the reservation and tear apart an E3xx grill or something newer, the issue inevitably arises once again.

OK, I won't ask where this is going, but I do expect to see some pictures. I will ask: Is it high temp paint?
