Heavy Grate for a Weber Kettle
 

Not an expert grillmaster, but a fairly good cook. I do love grilling
and do it pretty much year-round. My question is fairly simple and have
not come upon a solution yet.

I have a Weber Silver Kettle (the one with nickel plated grate). I love
grill marks and have been looking for a cast iron grate that someone has
got to be manufacturing.

I came across one website that mentions a round cast iron grate that
apparently Weber doesn't manufacture anymore.

Furthermore, from reading one or two articles on this newsgroup, some
folks have said that cast iron grates are high maintenance.

What other solutions can you recommend (apart from getting a new grill).

I like Charcoal, I like my weber kettle, but I do wish I had a heavier
grill (with hinges, preferably). Oh and I'm cheap-ish, so if costs as
much as the grill, I probably won't get it.

Ideas folks?

Thanks

that leaves out just about every possible solution.

Lol, figures!! I just wish the folks that manufacture generic
accessories might consider this is an option lots of folks are keen on.

You know, the other day, I was watching BBQ University on PBS and this
fella, Steve Raichlan used a rectangular shaped cast iron grate placed
on top of a 22 inch kettle. Any ideas on whether this might be easily
sought?

Home Depot. Get the cast iron replacement grates for their
Weber gas grills. Around $50.00.

Beeudiful! Thanks! I'll do that, and surely, I shall then be asking
you why it's rusting, but there's only one way to learn!

Thanks again,

Years ago, Hibachi was a very popular cooking item. They made singles,
doubles, triples. The cooking grid was a cast iron rectangle, maybe 8" or
10" Keep an eye out on yard sales and you can probably get one for two
bucks.

According to this thread:

Weber's Kettle wire grate #91425 for the cast iron griddle has an opening
that will hold a cast iron grate.
