I agree. I meant pricey as in expensive, not that it was overpriced for what it is.
I recognize that you are basically getting like 2 SS grates for the price. In addition to having the cross-hatching, you get four handles, so the only things that you don't get twice as many of is the initial ring of SS the bars are attached to & hinges.
For me, the extra handles to open the flaps of the grate don't offer much additional value as I use an old pair of really long tongs to both open the flaps & to either place charcoal or to move it after I've thrown some in & it didn't quite go where intended. However, take a look at the hinges, they are not the bars bent into a loop. Those should open a bit more smoothly each & every time compared to the normal looped ones. I'm guessing that might operate a bit more smoothly, which is kind of nice.
It looks well built & I like the waffle look of the grate. Very impressive looking & thought some might be interested even if I'm not that interested in it. Plus, I always find it interesting to hear reviews from people who have used certain accessories.
