New Solid Rod SS Cooking Grids on my Summit Gold A4...Awesome

[Andrew Alan]

Just got around to replacing my hollow SS channel cooking grids that came from the factory on my model year 2005 Summit Gold A4.

The grids were starting to come apart so it was time. I decided to go big and get a set of real, solid rod SS cooking grids.

I bought QTY (2) of part #53s31

These are made from solid stainless steel 3/8" diameter rod. The grill is a whole new animal now. It sears and leaves grill marks with ease. These solid rods hold heat so well. Its no contest when compared to the hollow channel style grids. I came across a weekend sale on Homeclick.com and scored these for $218 shipped. Well worth every penny. They weigh about 10 pounds for each grid.

Some photos of the old and new below.

Yo, You're just "up the road"....

I did the same thing with my $100 Estate Sale Weber Gasser (mine is an old-school Spirit - came pretty "plane-Jane")
Got the rod-stock SS grates and Flav Bars from RCPlanebuyer guy on E-Bay and it got even better

I spend more on the grates and bars than I did on the entire grill and about 6 years later - it's STILL going strong
Have fun and good eets with your new toy!
