Steam-N-Chips


 
If he decided to upgrade to SS, he would have to sit and wait for me to cut down a pair of 9mm SS grates. But, yah, that is a possibility, I guess.
Otherwise, I have another nib aftermarket set of stamped steel grates that might be the darker shade to match the smoker box. Problem is, they are under a bunch of heavy SS and CI grate sets that would be tough to uncover....and it is just too cold out to deal with it right now.
 
When I bought my Genesis a very early narrow slat one, it had the light colored speckly grates. I don't think it was so much an "update" but perhaps just different plants finishing the parts as I'm sure Weber did not fabricate and finish them
 
Does it say that the smoke box and bracket is porcelain enameled? I would have to think it is?
I do have a new set of the grates like you have as well. The specs are very tiny but make it a lighter gray shade.

Here is a comparison photo. The darker ones are the panel that comes with the smokeNchips. The lighter one is from the full set.

the one on the right is far more speckled than the one I have.

Sure, they are the same as the grate that came with it. Certainly enameled.

As larry said, they are all probably from different lots and some had more or less speckling. It just depended on the time, place and probably how much the worker was drinking on the job that day as to the exact shade they turned out that day.
 
The steam box looks like the one from a gen 1 summit i have. Is the box porcelain coated? Mine is sat all grimed up somewhere in my storage and have not got around to cleaning it.
The gen 1 Summit did not have the Steam n Chips. It had a stainless steel (quite large) that went under the grates where it actually worked. (to put smoke on the food instead of out the side

Thanks, its been a while since i have set eyes on the thing. I must clean it up soon, will it only work in the Summit grills?

If you're asking about the big SS one from the gen 1 Summit, yes. But now I think it may be adaptable to the new style Genesis grills. I've never looked at the burner spacing on the new Genesis models as I've never had an interest in them.
