What are the exact parts needed to do a Weber Q regulator delete?


 
advantages I can think of might be they are easier to deal with in divided format. Some people like to drop them in the dish washer or just handling them. But, on a Q1xx grill, they just are not very big even in a single grate format. In fact, when I bought my stainless steel grates for my Q220, I welded the two halves together rather than deal with the clips.

I just checked Amazon and this is the best deal currently that I could find.
$20 for a double with clips.

Oh, OK, those are "USED". But, I have found Used usually means an item that was returned but unused. I would definitely go the "USED" route on those.
 
A while back I ordered a cheap used pair like this off Amazon and also purchased a new more expensive QuliMetal set. Honestly I couldn't tell much difference. At least with cast iron.

Used meaning an Amazon return unused

Really those are not the best thing to use on a Q. Way too long to type it out, but you have to understand the actual theory of how the Qs are designed to work to realize why these are not really good choices

Sorry Larry,
I do not understand.
 
The A is designed for the grates to be an integral part of the cooking system not simply something to keep the food out of the fire as in a "normal" gas grill or charcoal grill. Look at the how the CI grates are designed or the SS ones Bruce and I have. They're heavy and designed to hold lots of heat, release it evenly, and actually help cook the food through contact.
It works like this because there is no flame tamer between the grate and the burner. And those flimsy wire bars and piece of sheet metal welded to them are useless for that
 
I started the cleaning process on the Q200. I found that the more aggressive Ridgid angle grinder, I had, did better in the bottom of the cook box.
Is that usually the route you all go? I started the lid with my Dewalt impact driver though.

I use my DeWalt XR impact 20 volt Max for pretty much everything. I have a regular DeWalt impact 20 volt also with less torque and less RPMs. That one does not work as well for me. I never use my angle grinder.
I'd say use what you have and find out what works best for you. Definitely doesn't hurt to try different things.

Maybe that is my issue with the Dewalt impact driver, for it is an Atomic.

I just picked one of those up on the used market. I was planning on bringing it to my other house to keep there but after testing it out it just didn't have the torque or the RPM to get the job done so I ended up taking my DeWalt XR back and forth with my luggage.

That is plenty clean for personal use. If you want to rehab to flip, you might want to go a bit further. But if you are fixing it up to cook on it, you can move on to the rest of the grill.

I wanted to try and get the practice in, for I have a Q1200 I can flip to cover the cost of parts on Q200 that I am going to keep.
 
I like the way the impact driver handles. I do have an electric drill I could try. But I know Larry mentioned once that was risky because it was Brushed. Most of the carbon is gone now so maybe it will be fine.

Got to a stopping point today. I was doing touch up with the electric drill and the added rpms made the difference. Josh I can see now that your more powerful XR over the Atomic makes a difference. I worked in spurts today and this is where I am at on the bottom cook box. Going to see if I can finish up tomorrow barring the weather.
