Aura EZ Light SS Charcoal Grate for 22" Kettle

[Kyle in Woodstock]

One of the gifts I got from my 2 and 4 year old daughters for Father's Day was a nice new charcoal grate for one of my Performers.
I have a list I share with my wife of "stuff I'd like to have but don't need", and this was on it.

It feels about 2-3x heavier than the standard charcoal grate. The website says it's heavy duty stainless steel. I have a big magnet and the grate is slightly magnetic, but not magnetic enough for the grate to lift and stick to the magnet.

It has channels bin it to put starter cubes, but I won't be using those often.

For $34 the price is right. I imagine it'll take many years to wear this one out. I'll check back in a while from now to let you all know how it holds up.

That Aura grate looks like a really good upgrade for a very decent price. I will have to check that out, but right now I have several new Weber OEM ones I bought with Ace rewards.

What’s the disc?

What’s the disc?

Was just the big magnet I used to do the "magnet test" with. Big magnet like that only had a very slight pull to it.

Thanks, should have known!

Thanks, should have known!

Kyle, the rods on the grate seem closer together than on the original. Could you verify the spacing for me? Thanks,

Richard.

OK, so I went for one! They had a "used" one meaning a return or otherwise damaged packaging. A little over $25 and I had about $11 in Amazon VISA points. So for $14 it was hard to say no. I look forward to posting my own observations. Seems like a perfect match for the stainless (430) GBS grate I bought in Germany.

I will also continue to plug Killa Grilla, though, because his stuff is still my favorite. Thick 304 stainless and relatively easy to keep clean.

I notice free shipping for minimum purchase of two hundred($200.00) dollars which is somewhat of a downer when you only need one(1) 22" SS Grill.

However, the 14" SS Grill for my Weber Smoky Joe and the 22" SS Grill for my Weber Performer Deluxe seem very tempting as additional items for my BBQ Arsenal.

Nice! I would have went for that option as well!

It's tighter than the stock grate. I'll break out the tape measure tomorrow and send pictures

Here is the stock Weber charcoal grate, this one is a little warped so your measurements might be a little different.





And here is the Aura grate

Thanks Kyle, much appreciated. Looks like 3/16 narrower spacing so every bit helps for the smaller bits when using natural charcoal.

Anything good said here about that Aura grate is an understatement in my book. I just got my “used” one from Amazon. In a plain box with a Kohl’s return ticket still in it. Looks perfect to me. Nice deal.

Wow, I am VERY impressed. Non-magnetic 304 shiny stainless, very thick and nice looking enough to be a cooking grate. The comparison between this and the Weber OEM charcoal grate one reads miles apart. Haven’t tried it obviously, but so far five stars!

Yeah, for the price it's an excellent product. I'm going to keep my eye out for a "used" one like you got. Will put it in my Crimson performer

Finally found a used Like New offer today. Bought it for $26.21!

I'll let you guys know how it compares to my new one I got a few months ago.

So theoretically you could find a Weber item you really wanted on Amazon. Return the item at your local Kohl’s and then watch the used section of the item on Amazon and you get the same item at a discount?

Lol, I guess you could try that. You never know when they will post the warehouse item though, so chances that you come across it might be slim.

I do really like this charcoal grate. If you need a replacement I highly recommend it

This "Like New" one looks exactly like my New one, was just $26 instead of $34.
