Hi,

New to forum. Have a 10+ yr old Genesis 1000 that I still love with Porcelain/Cast Iron grates.

Recently bought the SP-310 for a cottage. Unit has SS grates that my Pork Chops stuck to... A couple of notes: Grill was pre-heated to 600 degrees.....and rub did have a little brown sugar in it.:eek:

My question is are there any cooking performance advantages for SS grates over Porcelain/Cast Iron, or is it strictly aesthetics? Can you oil the SS grates?

Thanks
 
Of course you can oil SS grates. Brush them clean than hit them with a coat of oil than the food. Just like cast iron only better IMO because they're indestructible
 
I wipe my ss grates with a paper towel dipped into peanut oil. Cleans the grates as well as putting oil on them. I oil / clean after getting the grill warmed up (usually to at least 500 degrees).

Stainless steel wont rust like cast iron, nor chip/flake like the PCI's. I'm surpirsed to hear that after 10 years your PCI grates were still in good shape. Every set I had lasted only a few years. Not sure if I was "overly aggressive" cleaning them, or if high heat was the culprit (I heard the problem with PCI is the porcelan has a different thermal expansion coefficeint than cast iron and drastic temperatures can cause the porcelan to flake off.)

We oil our's up and when done heat them up to burn off any remaining food and hit them with a brass bristile brush. I love the SS grates.

Have you guys heard of grillgrates? I put them on top of my ss grates. They're awesome. No more flare ups. Awesome sear marks.
 
Thanks to all that replied. This is a great bulletin board!

I am probably the least mechanically inclined person and have another quick question. The igniter on my trusty Genesis (#8006) 1000 failed, so I bought a new one on e-bay> I tried finding instructions on youtube, but nothing. Anybody have instructions or a link?

Many thanks in advance
