They just showed up in the Amazon warehouse :) The baskets are 304 this time. The product listing on Amazon still says 430 but these passed the magnet check.

Hey guys! Very sorry for the long delay. I have a shipment that should arrive at the Amazon warehouses by the end of the week. Thank you so much for your patience!

Timothy, thank you very much for sharing your kind words! They put a smile on my face. Thank you.

Henry, I just sent you a PM.

Jim, These grates are the same thickness as the current Weber 7436 grates. The rods are about 4mm thick.

Chris is correct. I am working with a factory in China. The representatives I am working with appear to know the Weber product line inside and out. I am 90+% confident that it is the same factory being used to make OEM parts. I have tried finding US manufacturers and the process has been...

Chiku, the quality is just as good. An open offer to anyone who bought from the 1st batch or the 2nd batch....if for any reason over the next three years you do not love these baskets then simply send me a PM with your contact information and I will gladly provide a full refund. I have my...

Timothy, thank you very much for spreading the word! All, I need to be transparent about this latest shipment. The baskets are just as thick and the stainless steel is just as shiny. HOWEVER..the factory made this batch from 430 stainless instead of 304. They thought that since these wee...

Alex, The grates for the 22.5 inch kettles have been shipped to the Amazon warehouses. It usually takes 2 weeks for Amazon to receive and process a shipment. The baskets will be shipped to Amazon next week. The top grate for the 18.5 WSM will arrive in November. A bottom grate for the 18.5...

Hector, the 22.5 inch grates are the exact same thickness and dimensions of the Weber grates. The grate for the 18.5 WSM will be about 20% thicker than the original. The baskets are about twice as thick as the original.

Not a silly question at all! The standard grates will start rusting as soon as the chrome plating wears out. 1. Some people hate cooking on a rusty grate and would prefer to cook on a grate that will not rust. 2. Depending upon how much you abuse your equipment the standard grate will rust...

Steve, the final pricing is going to depend heavily upon freight shipping costs and I have not received final quotes yet. Probably the hinged 22.5 will be in the $49 range and the 18.5 will be in the $39 range. I haven't made up my mind about the lower grate. On one hand it needs to be...

Yes, the stainless steel grates for the 22.5 kettle are hinged.

Folks, I saw a few folks asking about timeline for availability so here is my best guess: 304 Stainless Steel Hinged Grate for 22.5 inch kettles: October 15th 304 Stainless Steel Charcoal Baskets: October 30th 304 Stainless Steel Grate for 18.5 inch WSM: November 15th I will work with Chris...

Hey guys! I saw how much people liked these and ordered up another 500 sets. With any luck they should be available on Amazon in 3 weeks. I apologize for the delay :) A massive request: If you are interested in these PLEASE order them through the initial link that Chris posted on this...
