Thoughts or preferences?
Mine is stainless but wondering what experiences others have had with cast iron grills.

Cast Iron hands down
doesn't rust out (leave all your grease and gratin on the grill after you cook and burn it off the next time you cook)
Gets hotter
puts on a better sear

This is the biggest reason TO get SS over Cast Iron.
The topic should be SS vs Coated Cast Iron. If its just SS vs Cast Iron then its SS by a huge margin.
Unless you enjoy rusted flakes in your food. A non coated (and even coated over time) will rust no matter how much you baby it especially if its a grill made in china. You will get 3 years tops out of the grill.

I have regular cast iron and have had it for 4 years. Not a spec of rust on it.
Weber Q FTMFW!

I thought all Weber grills were coated?
Like I said its mainly going to be with Chinese products but even Weber has a much longer warranty on SS than Cast Iron for a reason.
I know people that rubbed oil on their grates after every use but still rusted out in 3-4 years. I know personally my Charbroil grates lasted maybe 3 years.

I've had a stop top cast iron grill for 5 plus years without a hint of rust. May be different on a grill though.

I have stainless because I don't want to mess with cast iron. I've had it before, and it is nice, but when your grill gets to over 800 degrees, does it really matter? I don't think so.

I have a Q200 as well, and it was advetised with Porcelain coated grill, but I assure you it is not porcelain covered..Solid Cast Iron and heavy.
Damn grill weighs more than most pits..
I love it.
And as far as I know they still sell the Q200

You may be right. I was thinking more along the lines of Le Creuset pots and such.
Regardless, I love it. Best surface I've ever grilled on.

I have a q300 that I use for camping and tailgates. The grates are coated for sure. My father has a weber cast iron grate for his performer and its coated too.
