Which SS 22" grate?

[Attjack]

What's the best one available and why? Or do I buy a Santa maria attachment first instead (MCS is raging in my blood stream right now)?

[HawkerXP]

Check this out. Need help finding a replacement grill grate for Weber Performer - Pitmaster Club (amazingribs.com)

[HawkerXP]

I'm leaning toward the Killa Grilla for my next (and last) replacement. http://killagrilla.com/

[Attjack]

Looks like Grilla might just beat the Easy Spin. Thanks for the tip

[grantgallagher]

Both the Killa Grilla and SnS Easy spin are 304 stainless but the SnS is almost 30 bucks cheaper. I had one when i had my kettle and it was a beast. Didnt do much cold grate or spinning but i dont see that matters one way or the other.

The KG is .25" wire which is nice and big but i cant remember what the easy spin is. All i know is I really liked the easy spin and wouldnt have been looking for a replacement any time soon when i had it.

[Attjack]

I like a thicker grate but also like the bigger opening on the easy spin. One if the Amazon reviews is pretty critical of the easy spin saying thye expected a less flimsy grate based off of the other ABCBBQ products they own. That's why I made this thread.

[grantgallagher]

I didnt find it to be flimsy at all. Customer service at SnS/ABC grills is fantastic so reach out and ask since i didnt see the width posted in their description. Wouldnt be half surprised if you heard back tonight.

I've got both the Killa and SNS grates. Love them both. The reason I use the SNS more often is the flap door. Actually I removed mine. I bought a solid Killa and although it has true 1/4" bars, it's very heavy and won't spin as easily. If you do go for the Killa be sure to get the floppy door model. But I still say the SNS is the better value. You won't be dissatisfied with either, I'm so glad I was able to ditch my annealed and chromed grates !!

[Attjack]

I doubt I'll get a sns for this grill so the flap matching its size exactly isn't that important but I do like a bigger flap. If I go Grilla I'll get one with the opening.

[Attjack]

grantgallagher here's the pic from the review I mentioned. He would prefer a thick grate as would I.

[Attjack]

BTW, I opted for Santa Maria first. I'll upgrade the regular grate later. I can't wait to grill a Tri-tip on this thing. When I bought my Performer recently I realized it would provide a nice stable base for raised grate grilling.

Which one/brand is that in the photo? Looks pretty stout.

[Attjack]

It's a Titan and is on sale right now for $95 with free shipping. I could not resist.

I missed this the first time around. For once I am glad something is out of stock. I had my wallet in hand and was ready to click buy...

[Attjack]

The Santa Maria arrived today and I'm impressed with the build quality especially for under $100. I pulled a tri-tip out of the freezer for later this week. This will be the maiden voyage for this attachment as well as for the Performer I bought it for.

[Troutman]

Attjack I've posted numerous cooks on it. Mostly steaks, lamb and pork chops. Chicken sometimes but it's a little more finicky. That and veggies or all sorts. I use mesquite and oak splits so I love the flavor it imparts to whatever I'm cooking.

[Attjack]

Troutman I've been wanting to pick up some oak for the firepit and now I pretty much have to. I'll cook that tri-tip over charcoal though in the meantime.

[Henrik]

Tri tip, flank, flap et.c. Typical 'steak' material. I did one yesterday with oak wood. Even though it technically qualifies as grilling, the smoke from the oak wood sure adds a nice flavor. And I love the simplicity of this style of cooking.

[Loren]

Well, I know you didn't get a grate, but I'll add my 2 cents.

I had the Easy Spin and I never found it floppy, wobbly or flimsy - and I flopped 18+ lb briskets on it multiple times (air flow suffered immensely, but man was it cool seeing that big of a brisket in a kettle!

I've also had 4 racks of ribs on it (courtesy of a Weber rib rack ) as well as chicken. I found it to be sufficient for those tasks, though I'm not a spinner of grates either.

[Attjack]

I kind of hijacked my own thread didn't I?

I will be strongly considering the easy spin for a grate upgrade when I get a new grate.

[Attjack]

Fits like a glove.

[Loren]

That is a heck of a nice set up! 😍

[Attjack]

Back to the subject of SS grates, I stumbled upon this one. The handles are removable which I think might be nice. It claims to be 304 SS although one reviewer thinks it's plated.

These guys make awesome grates

Probably time to update this thread a bit.. since it's been a few months.

Amazon abounds with dozens of possibly sketchy SS grill grates, but I've only ever used the Weber ones.

My first one lasted 5 years (from 2008?), then the next one was 3 years, then 2 and 2. They seem to be getting cheaper and cheaper in construction, even as the price has climbed from from $18 to $30 over that time.

I'm looking for a good, but not too expensive, SS grill grate. Any ideas or advice now that we're well into 2021?

I've seen the SnS EasySpin at WamLart online for $60. It says it's the 22" version, but I'm suspicious. What do you guys think?

[Attjack]

It looks like that's the genuine ABCBBQ 22" grate.

KillaGrilla as recommended also has several attractive options. Personally, I have not pulled the trigger yet.

BBillFleet I think we need to have David Parrish comment on whether he has Walmart.com hawking his products for less than he sells them for. I can confirm that they directly lifted text and photos from the SNSGrills.com website, but its selling for $15 less than direct.

What is even weirder is that Walmart.com also shows the SNS Grills Elevated Cooking Grate - for $75, or almost twice its $49 selling price!

[BBillFleet]

Yes, making not much sense. I'll pull the trigger on it; I can probably return it if it's not right (or the wrong size). It does repeatedly say it's the 22-inch version.

[BBillFleet]

But then, I don't want to cause harm to @​​​​​​​David Parrish, or steal food, hopefully good BBQ, out of the mouths of his starving children...

[BBillFleet]

Wow, that came fast. Less than 24 hours! Of course, his place in Concord is 20 minutes away from here.

Appears to be the right item, and non-magnetic as well. Cool beans!

[jfmorris]

So did it ship direct from SNSgrills, i.e. fulfilled by them, versus coming from Walmart?

[HawkerXP]

Wow.

[BBillFleet]

It did, it shipped from SnS in Concord.
