No it is not. Flimsy sheet metal. I have had it for almost 3 years and I am looking at new grill.

Its cast iron. If left untended it will rust. Clean it after use and rub oil liberally over the entire piece before you store. it. You can leave it on the grill but be sure it is thoroughly rubbed down with oil. If you live in a humid area and it shows signs of rust store it indoors.

It's taken me longer than it should to figure out there are 3 options with Weber: porcelain enameled STEEL, porcelain embedded CAST IRON, and stainless steel. The 7525 model is the porcelain covered steel. Everyone loves cast iron skillets for a reason. They hold heat longer than steel. From a cooking standpoint, the cast iron is the best choice. I am not sure that it will last the longest. I've read a bunch of reviews on lifespan: some weber owners swear by the stainless and some swear by the cast iron.

Yes. Suggest you highlight and enlarge the pic and you'll see the inverted "U" profile of the grill. It's not made from round solid SS as you might have thought. But i'm happy with the grill . It cooks well and leaves nice grill marks. Can't keep it looking clean, just brush it and close the lid. I went to the Webber site and looked up my model then ordered the new grills.

Cast iron is great. A patina builds and the heat is even so that I can do three grilled cheese sandwiches at a time. The holes are for hands to get a less hot section of the iron. There is a ridge around the ironso that the grease does not flow over the edge. It is heavy and works well.

No, it is the original. Just that the production is in China. All the steel is still German steel. No problems at all so far with these. Absolutely awesome cookware.

No; this is not stainless steel. This model is nickel plated steel. Weber does sell a SS model, but it is considerably more expensive - Weber part no. 3070784. Much thicker bars and heavier.

I believe so. It looks like mine, and on the Coleman website the picture is the same and says it is cast. Coleman does also make a stamped aluminum griddle, but looks much different. Check Coleman website yourself. Hope this helps, I love mine.

I would say go with the cast iron, because that is what I have and it works very well. I bought a griddle and a regular new grate for my grill (both sides were old and very rusted and gross), and I must say that I am happy with both sides. Only thing that I don't care for is that it is made in China.

Hi. That base of the grill is just as wide as the lid and grill itself. The metal sides are a painted silver steel. Hope that answers your questions. The grill is awesome ! Thank you

Cast iron is much easier to clean (or maybe it just looks cleaner because you can see on stainless steel easier?). Either way - the cast iron we have on our Weber Genesis is great - this grill cooks better than any gas grill we have ever used!

It isn't a heavy iron like the original (I have an original) but pretty close to it. I don't think you will find any made like the original. I've used it several times and I am pleased with it. By the way, my original tends to leak a bit - it doesn't close as tight as it should.

Mine is not weber. It is true to stated measurements..., measure your grill and check, they offer multiple sizes.

It's nonstick not cast iron so I'd say no. But it does leave nice grill marks.

It is cast iron. Season it after every use. Mine is 6 months old. Bacon, burgers and steaks

It is cast iron, very heavy with grooves on the bottom. We like it and have to be careful when lifting to ensure grease drips in the pan. We season after every use.
