On the lower grate. If you were going to put something really heavy on the lower grate, what would you decide that the maximum weight you would put on it would be? I'll go first

I'm guessing 50 lbs.

That's exactly what I'd guess too.

It's like the Texas Tavern's motto: "We serve 1000 people - 10 at a time" or words to that effect.

I'd say 20 - 25 lbs ... I did a veritcal 28lb bird on the lower rack in a vertical roaster ... that bottom grate really flexed, uncomfortably so IMO.
 
I believe Weber says 50 pounds total. However, I've heard of people putting close to 75 pounds. They've had 4 butts on the top rack and 4 on the bottom.
