@greenweb. I just went out with a magnetic bottle opener and checked. No stick. Now, the grill is still going so I don't know if that counts. I didn't clean the tested area, but did place it on the underside and it fell off. Does that count or does it need to be cool and clean?

You did not have to do that, but thanks!  That is good!  Most likely the top grade SS. Gary could verify this for us later.

Looking forward to his SS flip up grates.

Wow this looks awesome.  I have a DIY second grate I use for adding turds to smoke as a snack while I am doing a longer smoke on the main grate.  Makes it so easy to load up the second grate as you are making the turds, carry it outside, remove the lid, then place the second grate on and get the lid back on in about 10 seconds.  This grate here looks way easier to place on than my DIY grate and it looks like you could fit two of them at once if you wanted or needed to.

Travis...thanks for testing out the grate and for your review.....pics are AWESOME!   

Do any of you guys mind if I use your pics on Amazon?

@greenweb....the Upper Deck is made from SS 201.   BTW.....do you have a link to the Grill Care grate you mention?  I can't seem to find it when I search.   Thanks!

Don't think the heat would matter. As long as it's not like one of the flimsy magnets from the pizza place, I wouldn't think a little grime would matter much.
Still need a 22” yellow

Travis, pic #3 is beautiful. Did you do that with a phone?

Also, why am I unsurprised that your only handy magnet is attached to a bottle opener?

Here is for 18". For some reason, it is more $ than the 22".  https://www.amazon.com/Grill-Care-17433-Stainless-Compatible/dp/B00TEBDRWY

When I picked up 22" Grill Care, they also had 18" for lot less $.  This is all I can find on 22". I think this is it. https://www.amazon.com/Weber-7436-Replacement-Hinged-Cooking/dp/B000WEPHKW/ref=sr_1_4?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1476317463&sr=1-4&keywords=ss+grate

Here is the one I picked up here in Canada.

I found few more that might be an interest to you.

Not sure if this is same as the Grill Care. It says it is thicker than oem.

And this you maybe interested in.   0.25'' thick 304 stainless. I just found this. This is actually what I had in mind.  http://www.ebay.ca/itm/21-5-Round-Flip-Up-BBQ-Stainless-Grill-Cook-Grate-KG-7436-Weber-replacement-/191975919234?hash=item2cb2a80e82:g:cxgAAOSwU-pXvLCu  Custom Made in Nolensville, TN USA.  They also offer non flip up grate for less $.

Don't forget Weber also offers SS flip up grates too.

Finally had the need to use the upper deck I got from Gary.
Works so well for extra wings around the vortex! Just flipped them so we'll see how they turn out, but you know it'll be great.
Thanks again @Gary@315!
