A:AnswerMetal. The overall knob and the shaft that connects to the main unit are metal. There are some plastic bits underneath that appear related to the how the knob glows blue, but don't look important to the knob's strength or functioning.
A:AnswerIt is 1 inch for all of the side burners. The middle burner has a little more space for a pan such as a wok to sit closer to the flame, so that one is less.
A:AnswerThere is just one center grate. The wok holder is a separate ring that is designed to fit over the center high power burner.
It is easy to attach. The wok ring has notches that fit securely over the main grate for a stable base for the wok.
It really works well and once cool, just lift it off and tuck away in a drawer or cupboard.
A:AnswerI installed this cooktop a couple of weeks ago. Most of the weight is in the cast iron grates and the griddle. The top itself was easy to manage single handedly. Picking up the box off the porch was hard.
