Weber Hinged Cooking Grate For 18.5" Grills - 7433

Weber Hinged Cooking Grate for Charcoal Grills

While you love the rich, smoky flavor that your charcoal grill gives to meat and veggies, it can be hard to regulate the temperature. You might need to add more charcoal while your food is cooking but moving a cooking grate while in-use is a recipe for disaster. This is where the Weber hinged cooking grate shines. With a hinged handle, you can partially lift up the grate to add or remove charcoal to keep your cooking temperature consistent. It's also helpful to create different temperature zones on your outdoor grill to cook meat and veggies at the same time, for example. With this grate, you can easily rearrange the coals to cook foods at different speeds. Maybe you're cooking all your vegetables first and then your meats. Before you load up the grill again, you can lift the Weber hinged cooking grate and add your coals to get the perfect sear on your steak. You can also move most of the coals to one side and create an area to let your food rest and stay warm.

When to Buy a New Grill Grate

If you already know the advantages of a hinged grill grate, maybe you simply need to replace yours after years of use. As Weber grills are built to last for years, it's more likely that you need to replace a grate than your entire grill. A fresh, clean grate will cook food more evenly and efficiently while better searing the outside of your meat. If you've kept your existing grill grate clean, having a spare will help with large volumes of food or to prevent cross-contamination. Keep your new grill grate working like new for countless uses by regularly preheating your grill and gently scraping off debris with a grill brush. No matter why you buy a new grate, your Weber 18.5" One-Touch® and Bar-B-Kettle® grills will thank you.
