Are the grill grates hinged with this model?

No hinges on the grate included with the grill. You can buy the hinged grates separately. I saw them at my local Target, also available here on Amazon

So... we have 1 yes and 3 no's... I probably wasn't very clear in my initial question what I'm asking if the top grill grate has a hinged section that you can lift up during your cook to add additional coals. I think it only comes stock on the Gold series kettle after doing more research.

No. There are 2 grates. The lower one sits on metal tabs and supports the charcoal. The upper one sits on metal tabs and supports the food. Both lift out. They are not attached to hinges.

No hinges! But very pleased with product and hinges would actually prove to be a disadvantage.

No the lid is not hinged. It has tabs on the lid that hold the lid in place when it's tilted open.

No, it does not. The main grill unit is assembled but the base and side shelves are not.

I'm not 100% sure which model I have but it looks identical to this: http://store.raytechcatalog.com/weber_popup.htm?iloc=images/2271001large.jpg& and the grates fit perfectly.

Yes, the top grill grate comes off. Both the bottom small grate and the top grill grate can be used or removed.

No, the coals and grill grate are fixed. But you can put all the coals to one side or in the middle using the coal holders. That way you can have direct or in-direct heat.

Yes it will. Hard to describe, but it's basically double hinged. Love this grill, I use it at my restaurant daily.

They look exactly like picture. This grate is for the Genesis Silver A. The Silver B takes a somewhat different grate; I think maybe 7527. The Silver A has one small plastic shelf to the left of the grill. The Silver B also has a larger shelf in front of the controls. Make sure you have the Silver A

No, the burners look like stainless with porcelain coated heat tents. Grates and grill inserts are cast iron as well as the optional griddle plate and kettle insert. I would recommend seasoning the grill grates for best performance an long lasting service and look at the optional accessories on https://www.directtoolsoutlet.com/brands/stok.

Yes. The legs are removable, so you could take them off and place it over the existing grates.

Yes, there is a plastic tab, that does not stick out above the grates. This controls 2 grids which open and close.

The grates that came with my unit are cast iron. In fact I would not purchase it if the grates were other than cast iron.

The lid is not hinged; however it has 2 hooks in the lid so you can hang it on the edge of the grill. I admit to being a bit skeptical, but have found them to be easily used and efficient. Great little grill for the dollar.

The grill grate is solid immediately above the burners. I have had no problems with grease entering the burners

It's been awhile since I assembled them (I purchased them at the same time from Amazon) but from what I can recall, the answer is "no." It utilizes some of the existing parts of the grill, but I would call Weber customer Service and find out for sure--they are excellent.

I am not familiar with your grill model. However, I just lay the grates on top of my old Weber grates. I usually do not use them when I want to use the indirect heating method and I have aluminum foil on the grill. William's answer on December 30 is good. I use the grill grates mostly when i am cooking on high or direct heat, and I do not want any grease flair ups.
