I love my Weber Kettle. It’s a very versatile grill and was one of the first ones we bought with a lid which makes a huge difference to the many ways you can use it. It’s built to last with a solid warranty behind it as well.
For all the years, I’ve been using a Weber Kettle, it has always annoyed me at how much good, unspent charcoal was being wasted as the spaces between the steel were too big and good, hot, burning bits of charcoal were simply falling through and going to waste. They also got caught in the one touch cleaning system when cleaning out the charcoal.
I had heard about people who used 2 charcoal grates and laid them criss-cross over one another. They said it decreased the wastage rate of the charcoal.
Last year I came across a company called BBQ Plus who had manufactured a criss-cross grill grate. They were even able to post to Northern Ireland which can be problematic.
The grate is a game changer, No longer are my hot coals falling through the grate. It is also very reasonably priced. It is well made, and I know it will last a lot longer than the original grates. Clean up is faster as there are no coals getting caught.
