17-1/2" Stainless Steel Upper Cooking Grate – Fits Weber 18.5" Kettle & Smokey Mountain Cooker

Upgrade your Weber 18.5" charcoal kettle or Smokey Mountain Cooker with this heavy-duty 17-1/2" diameter upper cooking grate. Precision laser cut from solid 1/4" thick Type 304 stainless steel, this grate is engineered for serious performance, offering unmatched strength, longevity, and heat retention.

Unlike factory wire grates that can bend, rust, or degrade over time, this solid stainless steel design is built to last a lifetime. It’s polished to a smooth, professional finish that not only looks great but makes cleanup a breeze. Type 304 stainless steel is naturally corrosion-resistant, ensuring your cooking surface stays safe, clean, and rust-free—no coatings to flake, no welds to break.

The thick steel holds and distributes heat evenly, giving you better control and deeper sear marks whether you’re smoking ribs low and slow or grilling steaks hot and fast. Perfect for the upper rack of the Smokey Mountain or direct grilling in your 18.5" Weber kettle, this grate is a major upgrade in both performance and durability.

Made for those who take their BBQ seriously—install it once and grill with confidence for years to come.
