Weber Stainless Steel Grates, Worth Upgrading To?

[Slapshot]

Are they much easier to clean? Certainly pricey at $185.00 which includes a frame kit I will probably just toss.

Would appreciate any input from those of you who have upgraded to them.

SS grates are great! Ha! I found aftermarket grates are of better quality material, thicker gauge, and more cost effective.

I would really appreciate knowing who makes those aftermarket grates you bought, and where. Thanks!

Iirc the weber grates are plated and once that is burnt and / or scraped off it corrodes very easily.

Really appreciate the link and the info, but I don't see any grates they offer that would fit the Searwood? Thats why I asked this in the Searwood forum.

Whoops, I missed that “minor” detail. May hunsaker can make you one if provided dimensions.
