It is a handy thing. Do take note of the heavier weight. I take mine out before moving the Kettle as I do not want to wreck it due to being too heavy....I also take out any firebricks. The heavier wider bars also do not allow for as even a heat distribution or air flow as the standard skinnier bars on normal grates....I believe. I wouldn't use it for low and slow.

I'll have to swing by and check, though my local Lowes never puts any Weber stuff on clearance.

A few months back I found a great deal on these with the $45 sear grate, I was basically able to get these for $30.
I am not a collector, but I do have a small collection.

My buddy @argentflame gifted a gourmet grate to me last year.  It has become my everyday grate.  Some advantages over the normal grate include:

Swung by both of my local Lowes and neither one of them carry it.  Of course they carry all the inserts for it, like the Wok, Cast Iron, and the Chicken roaster, but they don't carry the grate itself.  Going to have to give a home depot a try.

Seems Lowes is discontinuing them.

Called several and they don't even have them in their system.

One store I called said they had two, but there were none on the shelf.
Dude, relax your chicken.

I've looked at my regular Lowes and it has been regular price. When I saw this post today, I called them and they had one in stock, full price. Called another and they had three in stock, $14 ea.  I had them hold two and went down there and bought all three. Interesting thing, they were on the shelf with no price. In the system, they were $14.

It can be worth calling around.

The accessories/inserts were full price still.  Maybe those will go n sale somewhere. I guess I'd get the sear grate insert. The inserts don't excite me so much. I'm going to use with my actual wok and the vortex I recently ordered.
