No, I do not have a set of Summit grates. I have sets of 9mm aftermarket grates however.
If I could find a set like those, I would probably use them on the Genesis 4/5 rehab though.

The two “scraps” almost look like they’d work on the sides of a full grate to fill a 1000. Or am I crazy?

Not quite but it will be more than enough for another half set for my next Jr.The two “scraps” almost look like they’d work on the sides of a full grate to fill a 1000. Or am I crazy?

I forever grateful to Steve for filling me in on that.

That's the best place to get them. Your aftermarket 9mm grates sound like a good choice for this project too, especially if they are those $39 ones that everyone bought a few months back.

You're welcome, but I'm sure you would have stumbled across them at some point in your grill harvesting.

I just don't see them cheap enough that I would grab them just for grates and I am not about to rehab one.
Steve: The 9mm grates I got quite a while ago. At least early last spring or even the prior fall. I don't remember exactly how much they were, but I don't think they were $39.
EDIT: They were $43.49 when I purchased them last June. I think I still have 4 sets. Wish I had bought 20 sets at the time. They got discontinued right after that.

I remember buying a set in June from Amazon that was I thought $39, maybe it was $49. Anyways, I just remember a lot of people bought them and I thought you did too.

Does anyone remember these bad boys? I wish I had purchased a couple dozen or so of these things too.

Those are the ones, I just went through my Amazon orders.

Maybe eventually but your timing was perfect. I was able to pick up a new pair immediately after you told me. It was the last reasonably priced pair that I've seen.

Yep, that was a score for sure!

This the new Bruce effect? Were they actually 10mm?

9.525mm otherwise known as 3/8"

Yah, it is kind of strange. It depends on how you measure them. They are triangular shaped. If you measure point to point, yes they are about 10mm. If you measure flat side to opposite point, they are under 10mm. If I remember right, they weighed very similar to RCPlanebuyer grates. The thing is that when they are in the grill, the top of the pars is a peak, so I would assume they would provide really nice grill marks.....I have not used a set, so I am not positive on that however. If nothing else, they are unique.
