Agreed. I found it by accident when searching Amazon for a Weber cook grate. I despise the 'gourmet' turd they supply with the Performer. I just want the standard grate with the flip up sides, no removable center.
I'm kind of surprised it hasn't caught on. It never has to be removed or stored from the looks of it, protects the grill, helps ash and small chunk removal. What's not to like?
If you check out the website they tout it as made for lump users, but no reason it won't work for briqs.
