Your ad says communicator has real metal grille, please verify. I don't believe those are made anymore.

Thank you for your e-mail. Can you provide a link to the Amazon advertisement where you see the 'metal grill' comment? The remake of this item does not have a metal grill. The manufacturer Diamond Select Toys was prohibited from including a metal grill on the remake (for some reason that they cannot or are unwilling to share). We have provided Amazon with an updated product description for all EE Exclusive items containing the Communicator, so they should not have that description at all, unless it is for a third party retailer selling inventory based on the original production run. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Please feel free to contact us at any time with any issues as they arise. Thank you for your interest in Entertainment Earth.

I have checked my printed information that came with it and looked at it on line, but all I can find is that it is metal. No mention of the type.

As far as I know, there is no metal in it. Connect with them on Facebook or their website and ask THEM! :)

It is a glossy black plastic finish, but it is black. The mesh speaker grills are possibly made of stainless steel, but they are painted black as well.

The grate and the blade on the one received was metal. I don't know about other models

What I ordered is chrome, more importantly, it absolutely is the same, genuine, original German part and fits perfectly in the grille. As I viewed other posts, I noticed comments referring to the grille emblem as "silver." Perhaps my colour description is subjective, but again, I am certain it is the same as the original, also equally beautiful.

The grill cooking grids are definitely stainless. Not sure about the flavorizer bars.

It is too early to tell since I just installed the grilles this January 2014. But by the end of this August I should know if they will survive the Arizona heat. Sorry I could not give you a better answer.

It's metal--you specifically asked about the engine block, not the pedestal--the model parts are metal.

The description says "Metal reflector," and I beleive the shell is also metal, but I never verified it. My only gripe is that there is no water seal on these aftermarket H4 reflector units. At six months, these are holding up well, but I did have to drain rainwater out of one of them.

Yes, but I would like to point out that the tray is now rusted and I'm now looking to find a replacement part. I have had this grill since February 2014.

Sorry. I bought this and cannibalized the parts off of it as I just needed the grille for a project.

The chrome reflector is metal and the grill on the front is metal - but the exterior housing is plastic. But the plastic parts do not get so hot that you can not lay your hands on it without getting burned; even on the 800 watt setting. I have no complaints on my heater. It does a great job.

The flavorizer bars are the same. My guess would be that the burners are also. The grates are stainless but I actually preferred the cast iron grates which you can buy as an option. Much better for searing and grilling. The only real difference as far as I can tell is that the cover and two side trays are stainless. Stainless is really more "cosmetic." I know that my painted Weber Genesis lasted for over 25 years and was still going strong when I gave it to my niece. I had replaced the flavorizor bars and grates and replaced the ignitor once.

Go on line an contact the company. My friend purchased one after I told her how much I like mine and she just got hold of the company to purchase the aluminum liner and brickets. When Lowes still carried the grill I purchased extra brickets when I got my grille and they ordered new liners for me less than a year later. They won't do that any longer.Surprised more places don't sell grills like this with all the condos and apartment dwellers around the country.

We got a cleaning kit that came with the grille. Haven't used any of the cleaning solutions in it, but it did contain a wire brush that we use to clean the grates. I think the grate is stainless steel on this grille that doesn't rust. I hope so anyway. I don't know of anything else to remove the solid deposits.

You would need to ask Weber directly on this, the parts are not marked as made anywhere.
