Hi,

I feel like it's time for me to get a different grill grate for my 22 inch kettle.  I've used my vortex a few times and now the center of the original grate is all rusty.  I want get the kind where the center section is removable, and is hinged on each side for if/when I want to add more charcoal (model 8835 maybe?).  There are a few different options.....Brand, price etc.  Oddly enough, the Weber option through Amazon doesn't guarantee that it'll fit.

Are any of the off brands worth investigating?

I use a SS grate from Adrenaline bbq holds up to the vortex just fine.

+1 on the SnS 22 grate.  Mines two years old.   It's used 250+ times a year.    Great durability and value.

I have one SNS 22" grate and it's been awesome although I never use it with a vortex.  I use the Weber Gourmet BBQ grate with the cutout for vortex items.  I keep it nice and oily so it's never rusted.  It's not even silver anymore, more of a black color.

Another vote for the SnS grate. I use mine with the vortex all of the time. Never an issue.

I recommend the killa grilla grate

I have the SnS easy spin grate.  304 ss.   Had it for 4+ years and it has probably nearly 1000 cooks on it.  No rust.    No warping.  Welds are all still solid.   Its the only grate I use for my 22s. 

Killagrilla is also very good.  If you cook outdoors a lot, quality stainless is really the best choice.

I second this.  Mark Baron (KG) made the heaviest and nicest grates in the business.  I've got a few sets for various sized kettles and they are the stuff.  I guess everyone has to retire at some point.

Hunsaker makes a nice ss grate.  I have have a Killa Grilla, now going out of business, and a hunsaker.  Hunsaker is not as thick as KG, but does not rust either.
