Weber 65172 GBS Cooking Grate for 22" Kettle

What Problem This Part Solves

A rusted, warped, or damaged cooking grate can cause food to stick, create uneven cooking temperatures, and reduce your grilling performance. The Weber 65172 restores your grill's original cooking surface while adding the flexibility of the Gourmet BBQ System, allowing you to quickly swap the center insert for specialty cookware without replacing the entire grate.

The hinged design also makes it easy to replenish charcoal during long cooks or smoking sessions without interrupting your meal.
