Cody, do you still not have any good Weber stamped stainless steel grates you can use on flips?I’ve got a couple of platinums in the hopper that I’ve been strongly thinking about them for…

I have some. Sold a grill with them in it. Not a full rehab. But I like the look of solid rods in a full rehab. I also have a set of brand new Weber enameled grates.Cody, do you still not have any good Weber stamped stainless steel grates you can use on flips?
What's the hold up on the forever grill?will refurbish a set of stamped SS to keep with my forever grill. Once the kids are moved out, I will want sear marks
Ok, so you have a plan and everything you need to make this grill. You just need more free time to get it done.Like everything for me. Time. lol. coaching two kids in basketball pretty much kills any of my “free” time. They’re done mid-January. Then I have an athletics lull until late March.

I’m sending mine back.I received my stainless steel lid hinge pins today and I'm a little disappointed. The pins themselves are the exact same size as the Weber branded ones, which is good. The aftermarket clevis pins however are gigantic compared to the original ones and I don't like the way that looks.
Don't blame you one bit there, I might too.I’m sending mine back.

Although I took advantage of extra Amazon Visa points for delaying delivery until after Christmas, my set arrived today. I am VERY pleased. Very heavy real stainless. High quality that I think anyone here would be proud to show off on a keeper grill. Hard to justify spending two to four or more times as much when these are so nice.OK guys, I finally got my set of grates after a couple days shipping delay. I have to say they are VERY impressive and way worth the $40 sale price. According to my measurements, they are essentially identical to the Quilmetal 9MM grates and a close second to the RCPlaneburyer grates.
15 bars per grate
full 9mm solid SS rods.
They are non-magnetic except for the very end of each rod (likely due to being cut)
They are 11.22mm between rods
They weigh 8.45lbs per grate
They are a FULL 17.5" long which ensures that even on the most warped cook boxes, that you will have very little sliding around when cleaning.
If I have to knock them for anything, it is the ends of the rods are not polished and smooth. But, they are not sharp enough to injury someone. Very minor in my opinion.
Here is @Jon Tofte grates comparison to compare to this set.
The NEW CONTENDER
Ok, so I had the opportunity to purchase a set of the 9mm grates being offered by Qlimetal. I am not sure when these came out, but they are new to me. I know some of you are very interested in these since they bring dimension close to those of Dave Santana/"rcplanebuyer" grates at a very attractive price.
I have to say, that overall, I am very impressed. They are heavy, thick 9mm grates with no magnetic response. In all measurements they come out ahead of BBQParts.com and close to Dave's. Still, Dave has the best in my opinion. However, we have heard some uncertainty...
$40 guys. If you need a top shelf set of grates, now is the time.

Thank you for the honest update, Steve. I am sorry and disappointed that they aren’t the high class solution we all were hoping for.I received my stainless steel lid hinge pins today and I'm a little disappointed. The pins themselves are the exact same size as the Weber branded ones, which is good. The aftermarket clevis pins however are gigantic compared to the original ones and I don't like the way that looks. The aftermarket stainless steel ones are also just as magnetic as the factory ones. Time will tell if they hold up better to rust, but I don't think I would buy these again. Here's a pic, factory on the left aftermarket on the right.![]()
Don't blame you one bit there, I might too.
THAT has always been my concern.... I figured a little 'bending' would probably be needed --- bowing is a problem.I also received this stainless steel warming rack today. It's a mixed bag too. It looks great and is completely non-magnetic as stated. The fit was a little too tight, causing the middle of the rack to bow upwards. This would not be good as items such as hot dogs and sausages would probably roll right off. I did get it to level out after doing some bending in on the arms of it. Not ideal as it did take quite a bit of effort, but it worked.View attachment 123101
Yeah, everything lined up perfectly.THAT has always been my concern.... I figured a little 'bending' would probably be needed --- bowing is a problem.
It sounds like the fitment of the 'pegs' in the cook box were good tho....?
Thanks for the tip Cody. I'm going to try a set of 9mm on my 1000. Been using cast iron but many on the forum like SS.
Another super deal for the older Silver/Gold/Platinum B and C grill as well as the Genesis 1000-5000 grill as well as the later Spirit E3xx grills.
I doubt you will see 9mm SS solid rod grates for $40 again. Customer reviews say they are non-magnetic. I have never owned a set, but I just ordered one. If it doesn't meet my specs it goes back. If it does, I may have to dig down and find a few bucks for some more.

Yes
Bruce found them at this $40 price… still unable to pull the trigger myselfThanks for the tip Cody. I'm going to try a set of 9mm on my 1000. Been using cast iron but many on the forum like SS.
Bruce, would you mind sharing a picture of the unfinished rod ends, please? I may return my QuliMetals for these.I can't imagine anyone who needs a good set of grates for the Silver B/Genesis 1000 grills that would be disappointed with these grates. They are a small step down from RCPlanebuyer grates at less than 1/3 the cost.
I agree, very minor. Easily buffed out if one was inclined to do so. Thank you for the pictures.Here you go Troy:
