Again, got this with an older Redhead I got on Letgo last week. I have never seen a grate hinged like this:



Is it Weber or an aftermarket add-on?

Although I have never seen one of those, that has to be aftermarket..not Weber...

I'm gonna say, not Weber. But I could be wrong.

I've never seen one like that. I'd clean it up and use it anyway.
Looking for colored 18's and SJ's.

I've got a grate just like that. Is your kettle an 18, or a 22? I'll have to dig out that grate and see if it fits any of my kettles. Can't remember where I got the grate from....

Never seen one like that... gut feeling is aftermarket...
Multiple kettles and WSM's. I am not a collector, just a gatherer... and a sick bastard.

The following pics are 22" and not Weber, they belong to the Outdoorchef grill. Got a mate in Germany who has one.

Slightly different to the OP

Pit Barrel Cooker sells one for their drum which is a 30 gallon 18" dia. similar to the one @bear pictured.

I think I saw one of these grates in a post by @1buckie - no?
"Why do you have so many bbq's?"....."I just like lookin' at em' sometimes....and I have enough purses and shoes"

The OP's is likely a Kingsford grill grate....



not quite as heavy duty as what @swamprb  or @bear  are showing, but interesting just the same.........
I got mine from some friends when the grill began to fall apart....I asked thenm not to chuck the grate....
"If you want it fancy there is BBQ spray paint at home depot for that. "
    Covered, damper-controlled cooking.....IF YOU PLEASE !!!
