Weber Grill Grates for 57 cm Charcoal Barbecues - Gourmet BBQ System, Robust Steel Grates with GBS Insert for Versatile Accessories – Silver (8835)

Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but on receipt and examination, appears to be the genuine article and fit for purpose.

I've had my Weber Performer BBQ for 20 years now. It's still going strong with the enamel drum still in good condition. Inevitably you have to replace the grill and grate after a certain period of time due to wear and tear. This replacement certainly feels heavier than the original and is very well made. Same as the grate which came on a separate order. It's a false economy buying a cheaper 'lookilikey' versions as they are invariably thinner, possibly a bit smaller diameter wise and rust very easily. Weber is by far the best. More than happy. A worthwhile investment.

Heavy duty exactly what I hoped for.

With the arrival of spring, we decided to overhaul our BBQ ready for the longer evenings and (hopefully) warmer weather. We desperately needed a new grate and decided upon this one because of the handy opening in the centre. Upon arrival we were very pleased to observe the sturdy quality of this grate. It is obviously a much superior quality to the original one that came with our Weber grill. The bars are much quicker and the whole thing is heavier and has a quality feel to it. We have also got the cast iron centre part on back order, and we believe that with these two pieces combined, we now have a far superior bbq grill to the one we originally had.

It’s great and I’d much better quality than the original grill that has still lasted over 25 years.

First impressions are really good,it had official Weber card attached and first few uses are good! Time will tell how it stands up over time Using indirect and vortex cooking

Weber bbq grill. Excellent condition and punctually delivered

Weber 8835 Gourmet BBQ System Hinged Cooking Grate. As expected - straight out the packaging. Bought as a gift using Amazon Prime. Not the cheapest seller but was available now. Disappointed to find out that Retailer does not despatch weekends and used a DPD delivery service which was also late

Well made/durable. Feels heavy/quality, great replacement. Wish my weber came with this one from the start. I like it a lot.

Good construction quality but not stainless. Chrome plated.

Sehr hochwertig, nicht zu vergleichen mit dem ganzen China Schrott den es hier sonst gibt.

Grille achetée pour remplacer celle d’un Weber Classic Kettle 57 cm. S’adapte parfaitement, installation immédiate sans aucun ajustement à prévoir. La qualité est conforme à ce que l’on attend de la marque. Remplacement simple et efficace.

I've used this accessory all season in conjunction with the 8838 Poultry Roaster (beer can chicken tray) and the 8836 Pizza Stone, both of which I've been quite pleased with. The grate itself is a fantastic upgrade for any Weber grill, and I am incredibly pleased with both the design and the construction. The grate uses much heavier steel than either the standard or hinged cooking grates. This alone is worth the price of admission if you're ready to replace your existing grate. Moreover, the hinged sides are a god-send for me as I had the standard static grate previously. I like to add wood (mesquite, hickory, or pecan) to the grill after I've let it come up to temperature right after I put the food down, and the hinged sections let me do this without removing the hot grate from the grill. I can also add fresh charcoal to the grill when doing longer cooks without disturbing the food. The only complaint I have about the grate has more to do with the gourmet BBQ system's accessories than the grate itself. Some accessories fail to take advantage of the grate opening. With the opening removed, certain accessories such as the beer can chicken tray would seemingly benefit from sitting lower in the grate, thus bringing them closer to the coals and providing more height between the food and the lid. Unfortunately, most of the accessories are designed to just barely sit inside of the opening, placing them perhaps 1/4" to 1/2" lower than they'd be if you just set them on top of a regular grate. That said, the opening does securely hold the accessories and perfectly positions them in the middle of the grill, which is an excellent method of ensuring a nice, even cook.
