I am interested in this product but I have one question-Is this a 304 Stainless Steel product or a 430 Stainless Steel product as in your discription.

I cannot determine from looking what the grade the stainless is, but they are thicker and heavier than the original Weber bars and show no appreciable rust after being used for the past six months and weathering through our long winter. Very good product.

These or 430 according to the description. There's a guy on e-bay that sells a lot of these in 16 ga. 304, but they run about $15 more.

In the product description it says, "Made from type 430, 16 ga. stainless steel, these bars are twice as thick and will give you many years of reliable service."

Hi, I am also looking for one that has a stainless steel interior. Have you been able to verify that this one is stainless steel? If not, have you found one that is? Thanks!

The product is made of plastic. I do not know of any stainless steel models.

R. Majewski asked about the BTU rating of this unit. I too would like to know the BTU rating before I buy, but in addition I would like to know what type of burner is installed. Is it cast iron or stainless steel. We live on a salt water canal in Florida and cast iron burners rust out rather quickly because of the high humidity.

It says that on it, whether it is true stainless steel 304 is hard for me to tell. But it works wonderful and does great temperature control.

Stainless steel. I've used mine many times, and see no evidence of rust/corrosion. The stainless is probably 200 grade, though this is a guess. The 200 series of stainless steel use some manganese instead of nickel and are not strongly resistant to corrosion but quite adequate for food containers/pots. It is magnetic but many grades of stainless steel are. I'm very happy with mine. Sorry, Great Grandma, it appears to be SS to me. I prefer not to use chromium plated stuff as the chrome can crack off. There are less chrome plated steel these days because of the recent development where the Chinese discovered a way to utilize nickel laterite iron ore. This is iron ore that contains about 7-10% nickel which formerly was impossible to use. The Chinese have discovered how to use it so SS has become cheaper and more utilized. Chrome plated racks usually show rust at the edges, my rack shows zero rust and lacks the brightness of chrome also. It could be that some are stainless and some are chrome plated?

I'm sure they're 316ss they go in the dishwasher and come out with no rust like you could get with 304ss- I work with stainless steel and would be considered an expert in the field.

Yes, I would prefer that it was stainless steel, but it is of quite good quality and mine has been functioning very well for about a year now.

...by the price, obviously not here; think east...far east. I just purchased 304 stainless straws on Etsy from MulledMind. 304 is commonly used in food grade.

I don't know if it is 304 grade or not. But the steel is good. It's the stainless steel

I use this steamer a lot and love it. However, the description says "high quality stainless steel; NSF approved" but not see specifically 18/10 stainless steel. You may want to try Tramontina 18/10 Stainless Steel 4-Piece 3-Quart Steamer/Double-Boiler for about the same price. Thanks!

Captain ... I did not get the stainless steel finish ... but I did get the copper and it does show some rust around the screw points ... but since mine is out doors most of the year ... I have been very pleased with the look and performance.

Condensing coils: All of ours are 304 grade stainless because that is the only metal we allow the water or steam to touch. Heating elements: Because we are the only ones specifically designed not to boil dry, ours is going to give you a higher purity.

It's all stainless steel, don't know why it would be powder coated or painted "grey". Idk, could be wrong. It works great though. Just buy it : )

These grills are solid 304 stainless steel. But that does not mean that they will not tarnish from the heat. After a while they take on a deep dsrl tarnished look.
