A few weeks back, I saw that the grates for the Stok grill at Home Depot fit quite nicely in the Weber... perfectly in fact. I called them and placed an order but was told (as I also read here) that they were backordered until Sept or maybe even December. I just put my order in anyway since I wasn't in any hurry and didn't really see that great of an alternative since every other CI grate has it's issues. These, however, may be the winner.
They come in two pieces - a nice sized center section comes out and can be replaced with several different inserts.
To answer the million dollar question... yes... the Weber Chim fits perfectly. The keyed notch for the insert allows the handle to clear perfectly... a calculated and smart decision on their part.
It looks good in the kettle... fits perfectly. I just got back late last night from nearly a two week vacation so I haven't messed with it yet with the fire, but there seems more than enough room for you to be able to arrange your coals through the center insert.
I'm not a CI grate expert, but they seem to be nice quality and sturdy. Not any flex or anythng like that. I'll post an update when I get a chance to fire it up.
I think total cost was just under $70 with shipping here to FL for both pieces which are sold seperately.
