I will just leave this here


 
Know little about pellet grills, but I do know they have become a lot more popular over the last 4-5 years. These are smaller sized, but look kind cool with the colors and that price is likely to make them pretty good sellers.

I know they came out with a battery version but I guess TH was saying it's a bit of a disaster. I forgot what he said about this model you have pictured

Bruce I have looked at a few like that. Seems like it would have similar positive attributes as the Char-Q for hot and fast charcoal grillin.

That solid cast iron could be made to look great again. It is a cool old grill.
The advantages the CharQ has is (1) that it has a lid to do Weber-style charcoal grilling :coolkettle: , and (2) the cast aluminum doesn't rust and makes the CharQ easily transportable.
 
So my latest grill grabs have resulted in a “I was today years old when I learned this.” I’ve always thought that they were interchangeable. Today I confirmed it.

Sprit I e/s3xx - Spirit II e/s300 models do in fact take the same sized grates as the 1/1000/Silver B/C.

The grates in the pics are the stamped SS ones I will try blasting and polishing up.

Cody, that is what this grill is: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/687376137178584/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp:dd1564dd-058f-4ad0-b44a-d89e0edd79d9

Yeah, the one with the sandblasted inside of the lid. I messaged her on it. I am pretty sure they had that blasted in hopes it would sell better. I have thrown around offering $20 for it because it's been up for a while. I bet the kit is super rare, but has little value to many people.
 
So in between some painting today I tried blasting some stamped SS grates, that I assume are original Weber grates. I’d say I have a few sets that I may have to clean up. Thanks to @Steve Hoch for convincing me not to pitch them a while back. I’m not sure how it’ll work on solid rods (being a narrow target), but I’m going to give them a try too. It would for sure be beneficial at the connecting points.

So, what do you think? Are you going to finish them? It seems to be working pretty good so far. I actually threw a set away today because there was a broken weld on each of them that I didn't notice until I sat down to wire wheel them. They were the dirtiest ones I've ever seen.

Yup! I may not finish these before I try a solid rod set. Just to see where the time is better spent.

To me it's a win/win situation. It's worth it to save 30-$40 on an aftermarket set of grates that may look and fit ok, but that I wouldn't buy for my own grill. I also think that it's better to be able to advertise a flip grill as having genuine Weber grates, some people will ask. Lastly, I think they look really good when done.IMG_20250321_192455626.jpg
 
I have never been much of a fan of those grates and, in fact, sent some to the scrapper. However, @Steve Hoch I have to admit you make them look REALLY good. Your point about them being "genuine Weber" for flips is well taken, as I think most buyers will be impressed that they are shiny stainless and OEM Weber. Most don't know much, if anything, about stainless rods. I still personally would rather cook on cast iron or decently thick stainless rods, but I agree you are for sure on to something with what you are doing. Great job and thanks for sharing (y) !

I have always thrown these away, but seeing your work makes me pause and reconsider this practice in the future.
You guys do amazing things with a wire wheel!
Excellent work Steve!
