9.5MM Grill Grates for Weber Spirit 300

[Cody Bratton]

Now that would be a cool thing to have, especially if it has no center support.

I can't be the only one who dislikes the middle of the cooking area having the seam?

If grates were meant to be a more permanent piece on a grill, I would certainly like the one piece. On my Q220, I have the stainless two piece grates and I indeed welded them together. But they only weight about 1/4 and are much smaller than a set of 9mm genesis grates.

I’m not a math major, but with the numbers I came up with, I couldn’t buy the rod for under $100

I just built a set of grates out of 1/4" SS304, about 18"x31", for less than $50 in steel. 1/2" spacing, which might be more than people want. 3/8".....off the cuff, less than $10 more, and 1/4" gaps, $15-20 more.

These grates are going into use in 10 days. I'll post up pics after I get back from a road trip.

Look forward to seeing what you have made. Maybe you can be the next "rcplanebuyer"!

1/4" is only 6.35mm. I would want at least 7mm rods in grates. How much do you think you could build a set of 9mm grates for with 9mm spacing.

I would love a one piece grate 7mm rods with 1/4" spacing. Even if it had a center support, that wouldn't bother me. I don't mind the support rod.

I love how men are obsessed with stainless steel grades and rod thickness So, what is more important? the 9mm vs 7mm or the spacing in between rods? is a one piece grate better than the traditional two piece grate? im not even gonna mention the pesky middle support rod!!

What is ss grate nirvana!??

 

[LMichaels]

Within reason a better spaced out 1/4 rod grate is WAY better than one made of 3/8" but with 1/2" spacing. That's my story and I am sticking to it

 

[Bruce]

3/8" rod with 3/8" spacing or 1/4" rod with 1/4" spacing??? Which would you prefer Larry?

 

[Cody Bratton]

3/8 rod with 1/4" spacing

 

[Bruce]

LOL. Yah, that would be the ticket. But you might have to reinforce the frame a bit.

 

[LMichaels]

Well I will tell ya, my Wolf grates are nirvana as grates go. 3/8" rods and 3/16" space

 

[Bruce]

Yah, no kidding Larry.
