I finally bought a set of these tonight. They'd been on sale around here, but not the 6.99 price until tonight. How have they held up @LightningBoldtz ?

I actually never bought them because I have a few of the Webber ones. You'll have to tell me. :)

No worries, I think my phone learned "Weber" "grate" "OTG" "OTS" "MT" "OTP" "WKC" etc since I type them so much.

On the one hand I don't own the Weber version of these so I can't make a comparison. However, I used one tonight for indirect cooking and it was great. I especially appreciated how well it contained the lump charcoal. That, frankly is my only beef with lump- it ends up everywhere. I might use these for every cook! How did I ever live without them? Any reason the Weber's would be better?

Found the link for these, from the description it says galvanized steel, good. http://www.menards.com/main/outdoors/grills-outdoor-cooking/grills-smokers/charcoal-wood-chip-tray/p-2242166.htm

WAIT, galvanized steel? Is that healthy to heat up?

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

Uhhhhhhh . . . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_fume_fever  :-\

The Weber ones are made from aluminized steel, for what it's worth.

The ones that I saw did not look galvanized.
