I bought this grill new and it's had medium use over the past 24 years. I noticed when I pulled it out of storage, the stainless grates had a few broken welds where the grill bars separated from the cross member. The two grate sides are intact and functional but are due for replacement because of the broken welds (not something I can fix myself). Weber sells a porcelain coated grate of the exact same design as my stainless steel version for a reasonable price but their stainless replacements are spendier than I might have expected. The Flavorizer bars are porcelain (not stainless) and while pitted a bit here and there, remain sound and not rusting through so I plan to keep those in use.
Any suggestions for this old grill's cooking grates?
