Weber Plated-Steel Charcoal Grate, 13.5 inches, 18"

I have a Weber 22" kettle. I have had this Kettle for twenty years. I keep my stuff nice. I also use it...a LOT. Weekly use year round is very common for my Kettle. I use mine enough that I have replaced the air vents, the top grille, and now the bottom coal grill. CONTEXT HER: Many years ago I worked professionally handling and welding steel construction. I still own a welder, torches and various metalworking equipment. I work steel a lot. I have a reference point, o.k? That said, it is my assessment that this is a pretty nice piece. Well built, dimensionally accurate, spot welds are typical and acceptable quality. IMO, the material is stainless steel. Some people complained that it "wasn't stainless" because "it was magnetic". Well, speaking as someone who knows, be aware that SOME GRADES of stainless steel ARE mildly magnetic. Google it. I'd say that this is one of them. In addition, some people complained that this "didn't fit their such and so" or "didn't clean easily when they cooked on it. IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS A BOTTOM GRILLE - for the COALS in your Weber Kettle. That's what they're selling it for. It is not a top grille for cooking, or a fire ring top, or for some other brand of grille, or a TV antenna adaptor, or whatever. It is a bottom coal grill for a Weber Kettle. Period. Sorry to rant a little, but IMO it is not fair to the manufacturer to ding them if their product doesn't work for some adapted purpose. When used as designed, it fits and functions perfectly, and is easily a match for the OEM part from Weber. Take that into consideration when you are selecting one of these. No I don't work for, own, or even know who the heck the manufacturer is. I'm just pointing out that low star rants that ding a product are neither fair to the manufacturer nor useful to Amazon customers. For me this product was Five stars - no issues WHEN USED AS DIRECTED WITH THE GRILLE FOR WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED.

When you own one of the Weber Performer grills with the propane briquette lighting feature, the charcoal grate takes a lot of abuse from the heat. Mine had distorted over the years, but it got to a point where none of my hammering and twisting could set it right. Time for a new charcoal grate. As expected, it fits like a new one, and I now have the novelty of not having perfectly good lit coals fall through. Genuine Weber quality, so I'll get another several years of service out of it.

This a very sturdy grate.

Used this in my Weber Smoky Mountain. I put this grate on top of the existing grate with the bars 90 degrees from the other. Prevents small pieces of charcoal from ending up in the bottom of the smoker unburned.

Nice heavy-ish grate that I put in my outdoor fire pit. Fit the pit! And left air underneath for fire to burn!

Awesome price for a Weber grate

Good replacement

Perfect fit and heavier gauge steel than the one that came with our grill. We doubled this up with the original grate to prevent as much wear to this one. Hopefully this lasts as long as the original

Well made. Solid. Fit perfectly

Eines vorausgeschickt: Ich bin kein spezieller Weber-Fan. Eigentlich sind mir die Preise für die angebotenen Grills etc der Fa. Weber zu hoch. ABER, bei dem hier angebotenen Kohlerost merkt man dann doch schon beim Auspacken die Wertigkeit und den Qualitätsunterschied zu den Konkurrenzprodukten. Perfekt und diesmal nicht mal teuer!

très content d'avoir trouvé cette grille sur le web pour remplacer celle de notre barbecue très abîmée, attendons le beau temps avec impatience pour pouvoir l'utiliser

Estuve buscando este accesorio por tiempo y se me había hecho muy caro, ahora decidí comprarlo por que el que tengo ya estaba todo mal formado por su uso. Ahora que lo encontré en oferta, me permití hacer la compra. Como es el original, se ajusta correctamente.

I use it for my fire pit working perfectly
