5.0 out of 5 stars you don't need this for grilling, August 31, 2004

If you're are cooking mainly burgers, steaks, and chicken you will not need this. However, for low and slow briskets and pork butts it is a must. Just put the meat on one side and leave the access hatch open on the other side. You will be able to quickly add fuel without losing a lot of heat. You can bbq a mean brisket in a weber if that is what you have to work with. This grate makes life so much easier for those long cook times.

Well, not much to say about this item. It's obviously very functional and I'm left wondering why Weber doesn't just make this the defacto grate for all of it's kettles.

It's rock solid steel, quite hefty for it's size I'd say. The hinges are well made and it's quite useful for long-term indirect cooking. Good for party BBQs as well, since you often run low on fuel cooking a lot of meat.

I only have one complaint and since it's not really a product failure, I'm giving 5 stars: The thing needs it's own box to ship in. Mine came in a 4'x3'x2' (1.3m x 1m x .7m) cardboard box with enough airbags to choke a dozen donkeys. Get a grip Weber and give this to your suppliers in a form fitted box so the environment doesn't have to suffer!

When I am cooking ribs or a chicken which can take a few hours, you definately will have to add fresh charcoal. The beauty of this grate is that you can add more fuel without removing the grate which puts you at risk for losing you food on the floor. Simply lift up one corner of the grate and add prelit coals.

For best results use the Weber Chimney starter to start your coals.
