So I inherited a Weber Genesis Silver C and I’ve been using it for every meal this summer the grill is from 2004 or 2005 should i get new grates based in the issues in the picture? I have already soaked it in soap and water and used a wire brush
next time you miss them, please send me the 9mm stainless and I'll send you a brand new set of CI. I'll cover shipping.I kind of miss the cast iron once in a while.
Why does single vs double brace matter?Darn that’s what I thought. The grates are 17-18 years old so time for a replacement too bad Weber doesn’t offer the single brace in the middle anymore but instead when I go to my replacement parts diagram it sends me to these grates. Was hoping to keep the grates working as I inherited the Grill from my late father.
Yes, what difference is there with that? I’d just go 304 and not look back. Mine are now almost five years old and are holding up beautifully.Why does single vs double brace matter?
Was trying to keep it as original as possible even looking. Funny I did a deep dive of Amazon and found this after my grates that Weber recommended using for replacementwhich are both listed belowWhy does single vs double brace matter?
I understand your desire to keep it close to original. Oddly enough, I think the non-OEM Vicool set looks more like the old time Weber grates. They also appear to have the matte finish that seems more resistant to peeling off than the smooth, shiny coating Weber used to use.Was trying to keep it as original as possible even looking.

That’s what i was thinking as well oh well guess I’ll end up with a extra set of Weber grates now not mad about it. Do you have any suggestions on how to season them or can you direct me to a thread?I understand your desire to keep it close to original.

Based on your stated goal the Vicool looks like a good fit. I would do like they say and season it regularly just as if it had no coating at all.
