Weber Charcoal Grate For 18" Grill - 7440
The Weber Charcoal Grill Grate
Often used but rarely appreciated, the 18-inch Weber charcoal grill grate is the only thing keeping your foods off of the hot-burning pile of ash and charcoal below. Not many people truly appreciate the craftsmanship behind this sheet of metal, but it's truly essential. This version will not fit the classic 22.5" Weber Kettle—it's designed for models like the 18.5" One-Touch™, Bar-B-Kettle®, Jumbo Joe®, and Smokey Joe® Platinum barbecues. Make sure to measure and double-check before you make your purchase.
Maintaining Your 18-inch Grill Grate
When it comes to barbecuing, a grill is just like any other appliance: it's a true investment. And when the lightbulb in your refrigerator breaks, you don't send it to the recycling center. Instead, make an effort to find the right replacement part like the Weber charcoal grill grate for 18-inch grills. This component is even easier to install than a lightbulb, with no twisting necessary. As far as replacement parts go, this one is both long-lasting and economically priced. This continued investment in your current barbecue will save you the cost of a new high-priced cooker in the long run. When you've got your grilling gloves on that new Weber charcoal grill grate, there are a few things you can do to ensure it has a long lifespan. Most of them involve a stiff-bristled grill brush and some elbow grease. Make sure you clean off your grate after each use, even if you're only using it to heat up hot dogs. That burnt-on food and grease can harden and create problems further down the line, and it only gets tougher the longer you wait to clean it. Finally, remember that it's important to deep clean your barbecue occasionally too. Many grilling experts say to do it as often as twice a year, though some believe an annual cleaning is fine for those who don't cook outdoors very often. You'll need a sponge, some water, and even more of that elbow grease.
