That is a great price but Menards won't ship it to me. Amazon will for $5 more, http://www.amazon.com/Grill-Care-17436-Stainless-Compatible/dp/B00TEBBAPU

Gotta love Prime.

I have two of them that I've had for a few years now with no signs of rust.  I only paid about $25 each for mine though.  They sure went up in price.  They used to be listed on their website but I don't see them there anymore.

Some of the reviews say the Grill Care grates are magnetic, so they are either plated or use a lower-grade stainless steel

So I bought a gourmet grate from eBay , when I recived them
I was blown away how heavy duty the ss is , and compared to
The OEM ones there is a major improvement.

So the Weber SS is thicker than the standard, like the Gourmet grate is?

It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

Same experience, had for more than 5 years and no rust.

So I received my new hinged SS grate from Weber today.  It is the same size/thickness of the standard hinged plated grate.  You can definitely tell it is stainless steel though by the color (aluminum like) and dull sheen.  The gourmet grates are definitely made of a heavier, thicker gauge metal but plated and shiny.   I will try and take a picture of the SS grate and post it tomorrow.

This is the new hinged SS Weber grate ordered direct from Weber.  It does not have the chrome like finish that the standard plated hinged grates have. 





This is the new SS grate next to my 17 year old standard grate. As you can see, they are constructed of the same gauge metal.  The old grate has held up relatively well except for the hinged areas.  I cook mostly indirect and these areas are usually positioned directly over the briquette baskets.  The hinged areas are now extremely rusted and I do not let any food come in contact with the areas. Only time will tell if SS holds up better. 




I also have one of the new gourmet system grates coming and will post a comparative photo when it arrives. I have seen one and they are constructed of a heavier gauge. I assume it is because additional strength is required due to the center being cut out.

I have 2 of the SS grates from Weber.  They have held up very well with no rust.  I bought the first one in 2010 and a second one in 2011 or 2012.  The first one was $24 and the second $30.  I am glad I got them when I did after seeing todays price!

Received the  Weber Gourmet grate today. Here are comparative pictures with the SS grate from Weber I promised. The pictures really don't show it but the Gourmet grate is definitely made of a thicker gauge metal. The Gourmet grate is also plated, not SS.  The first picture really shows the difference in sheen.  The Gourmet grate (top of photo) is really shiny and reflective and the SS grate (lower grate in photo) is dull.




You can see a slight difference in the thickness of the metal in this photo.

You have to call Weber Customer Service (800-466-1071) and ask for SS cooking grates part #80728.  I don't understand why, but there are quite a few items that are not listed on Weber's website.
