Indirect on Silver A genesis


 
I have the same grill. I use the warming rack after direct cooking on the grates sometimes. Or I just reduce the heat and cook in the middle between the burners. These little grills can get really hot, real fast.

The small tabs on the corners of each grate indicate that they are designed for using the grates that side down. However many people prefer using them like Bob does. They provide nice wide sear marks that way. If they were flipped over, you would have more intense thin sear marks. I would also probably use them as Bob does if I used CI grates. One other benefit that I see is that some smaller foods would ten fall into the valleys on grates with thin side up making hard to manipulate it. Asparagus comes to mind.
I think either way is fine. Just a matter of preference.

Can confirm. The one and only time I’ve cooked on those grates, the menu was pork steaks and asparagus. They were great for the meat, but you had to lay the asparagus down very precisely so that the opening didn’t catch the end of the stalk and lat it fall in.

Having owned a Silver A just turn off the rear burner and cook all your indirect food across the back. EZPZ

There is more than one way to skin a cat. (I do not endorse harming any animals, except for the ones that are about to be grilled!)

As soon as I saw your trivets I figured you were from the "Land down under", as they do not sell those here in the US for some reason.

They used to Joe. I have ones for my Q120 and 220 that I bought in the US. I am guessing that they didn’t sell so they discontinued them. Keep an eye out, there might be some NOS around.

Thank you for the kind words. You have a fine collection as well. There were actually 4 grills in the pic, I restored the 2 Silver A's and bought the XL from a member on this forum. I made a few changes to it for ease of maintenance. I replaced the wood shelves, handle and bottom shelf with a wire rack. The Silver A on the left is strictly for grilling veggies. My future daughter in law is a vegetarian and will not eat anything cooked on the other meat grills. lol IMG_0632.JPG

You are a better future father-in-law than I. I would probably tell her to bring her own food. If I really really liked her....Maybe I would keep a Q1XX around.
