Title: Weber 18” / 47cm GBS Grate
Post by: vwengguy on June 04, 2018, 07:56:02 AM
100% Genuine Weber GBS cooking grate for 18” / 47cm kettles.

I am NOT taking orders !!!

I just want to get an idea of how many people would commit to buying them and how many you would want.

Right now the price is €69 / $80 [emoji15] without any shipping to USA !
If I can get a good number of people that would want to order them I can hit Weber up with that figure and put the BIG Squeeze on them to get them way cheaper!

Because of the weight of a GBS grate I think the best thing to do would be ship X number of them to 1-3 locations in the states and then have them sent out from there ?  ( Troy? Or some other major player gets 6-8 and helps get them to other people? ) That’s the idea.. no idea if it could work out.

Anyways... let’s make a list.. CUT & PASTE and add YOUR Name!

How much for the SS version?

As far as I know.. there was never a 18” / 47cm GBS grate made by Weber in Stainless Steel ?
This Chrome grate is only used in the Euro “Kettle Plus” and never offered in SS.

Any luck with this initiative, vwengguy?  I’d love to add one of these to my arsenal.

Sorry :-(  Fake News from Weber Holland.
I called and talked to customer service here and the lady told me.. “yes they are in stock and the # I gave them was good. You will have to contact a big dealer to order them as it is not listed on the site.”
I did my job and contacted a big dealer here that I know and asked for a deal price on 6-10 of them. He called me back in 20 mins and said that Weber won’t sell them as reserve parts yet and we still have to wait!
🤦🏼‍♂️
 5 members stepped up and showed interest in them asking for a total of 7 but they just won’t sell them as of now.
Maybe I can call again this week and beg for them in the name of the kettle club ?
I’m trying guys... I’m just not getting far with this :-( Sorry!

Matthew

Here is the last update on this grate:
I called Weber here in The Netherlands and asked if the part # was good and I asked if they are in stock .. they said yes to everything and then told me that I had to order them from a larger Weber dealer here.
So I called one of the biggest dealers here.. I know them pretty good ;-).. and I tried to order them and asked for a bulk price on 10 of them.
Then... Weber told the shop that they still won’t sell the item as a replacement part because they have to keep them in stock for warranty replacements.
I’m starting to think this is going nowhere real fast :-(
I’m sorry if I got anyone’s hope up... I tried.. really I did.. but they won’t work with me on this. They say I have to wait another year before I can order it.

I also want to thank @RickyD for the part # for the stainless steel version..
