Weber Master Touch?

Ok. Dumb question. How would I know if the grate it came with is SS vs Other? I am scrubbing it up now.

If you paid under $20 for it it is plated.

sorry, I meant the one it came with. I did buy the plated one today but now am scrubbing the original like a lottery ticket wondering if its stainless...

If there is any rust on it it is plated.

I just scrubbed the chit out of it and it's looking good. No rust. Just seasoning stains. I am guessing it is stainless. But whether it's stainless or not it will work fine. Thanks for the heads up. You just saved me $20-30!

Forgot to ask....will the standard 22.5" replacement grill and charcoal grates fit on this? I assume they will. Hoping to catch some sales this weekend...

My local Target has the hinged grate (Weber part #7436)[URL="http://www.amazon.com/Weber-7436-Replacement-Hinged-Cooking/dp/B000WEPHKW"] on clearance for $12.xx. The clearance price might now shown on the display, but you can check for it using the scanners that they have around the store.

Do the magnet test, SS is non magnetic.

It would be crazy to put custom Marty Leach handles on this $20 grill right? Right?

I keep seeing all these great posts with pics...and was thinking....

I just realized I am asking the completely wrong audience...:decision:

The mag test will work if its a 300 series stainless steel. 300 series is non-magnetic. If its a 400 series stainless, the mag will stick to it. 400 is a magnetic stainless and will rust over time....not as bad as mild steel but it still will.

Well...the magnet stuck. But whatever it is I cleaned it up enough that it's fine to use. Will be returning the 22.5" plated grate for now. The charcoal grate was in good shape as well. Cleaned that up with a wire brush. And you all were right about how easy the rust came off the bottom. I did a moderate clean up tonight since I won't have much time over the weekend. She's in pretty good shape. Took the wood handle off my mini wsm smokey Joe and swapped them for now.

I soak my wood handles in a good wood oil about twice a year. My EZ-Up collapsed on my red Master's Touch last week, and broke one handle, but I was able to glue and clamp it and you can't tell it was ever broken.

Keep your cooking grates hanging in the garage, and they will last for years.

I have a Porter Cable professional car polisher, and use it about twice a year to shine mine up. It's a sickness. I think I love my red Weber more than my dog.

That is a great idea on the handles CD. What type of wood oil do you use? I never really thought about what type of wood they are made of.

Googling car polisher next....
