Weber hinged grate or not?
« on: October 04, 2016, 11:07:22 AM »
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.

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....

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

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....
