Weber 8835 Hinged Cooking Grate Video Review

[@ronaldray8466]

I'm thinking of buying this grill top. Remove the center and set my wok in it.

[@ErikFabian]

I had a weber that came with the attached side table. This grate is standard on that model and I was skeptical about the need for the center hole before I bought it. I was wrong. It is great accessory. I agree with Jack on this one. It really flexible and solidly built. I most often added my charcoal through the center into some holders and then moved them from there. The sides were used just to add charcoal for long cooks.

Good stuff Jack. I heard you talk about it on the Webber podcast episode but seeing it makes a big difference.

The Weber Cast Iron insert for that grill grate is really nice!! Even though it’s porcelain coated. But that small porcelain coated grate is super easy to clean and it doesn’t rust!👍 The true vortex is better than any clone! And if you order it from the right outfit they send you a nice bottle of seasoning with it. The slow on Cedar is an excellent tool personally I think it’s well worth the money. You can do damn near the same thing with 2 Wb baskets. But after 10 uses they look like crap! There are some stainless steel baskets available on Amazon I have them they work very well!!! The problem with this gourmet grill grate is they rust!!! For the money I would get adrenaline barbecue stainless steel great. And a set of “Grill Grates” i’ve made some of the best chicken and grilled some of the best steaks on Grill Grates! I really like the spin great from adrenaline barbecue!! High quality!! The only time I use my weber gourmet set up is for doing wings with my vortex. I just love doing wings on the vortex and it blows peoples mind when they see it for the first time! And my Wings are becoming pretty famous with all my friends! They’re constantly bragging up my wings to all their friends! Last time I did wings I had to bust out my ranch kettle! I tried to get a vortex for the ranch kettle but couldn’t get one that big at the time they weren’t manufacturing them they used to. So I made one out of a stainless steel ring that I had from a previous cooker. Are used 18 pounds of charcoal at once! I’ll reach the heat of close to 700° The wings were amazing! One young guy 22 years old had 23 wings! He keeps talking about wanting more now! Lol

I just bought one of these; they're $50 now, in 2021. I feel like for THAT much dough, it should be stainless. One "trick" with these plated steel grates is to not clean them too hard. I just leave the grease and everything on them after cooking. Then, the next time I cook on them, I let it preheat until that old grease is burning and smoking, then a gentle scrub off with a stainless steel pad. (Weber sells them and Home Depot sells generic ones) They last a lot longer than the bristle cleaners.

Thanks for the informative review ! Will pick one up!

I got the member's Mark porcelain kettle grill from Sam's club... Its very nice I'm very happy with it. It also comes with a super nice cast iron grate.Guess what? Cast iron is a pain in the butt to clean! YUP! I'll be ordering one of these grates to replace cast iron one.

Been toying with idea of getting the grate you reviewed for my avocado green (handed down) Webber grill. I think I'll spend the $ and up grade now. Thanks for the review.

Needed to see this!

[@Forest_Actual]

Nice features on the grate.

[@alanazargushasb8557]

It sucks dude, it makes it way harder to clean the grate. All the features become bugs when it comes to cleaning it. I wish I had not gotten it with my grill. How are you going to clean the underside of the grate under heat? The middle part only slides in on the front. If you flip it it is not longer level and slide around. Also those side flipping grates become a hazard when you try to clean it. F

[@survivalpodcasting]

You sound like a child, it is a grill how clean does it need to be to cook on it? What the F are you cleaning the bottom side for. Go find someone else to cry to. You're either GenZ or acting like one, my channel is for grown ass adults.

[@condor9992]

That old grill would clean up fine

[@survivalpodcasting]

You are welcome to come pick up the old grate if you want it! LOL Seriously it will likely be used over camp fires, etc. I am building a little spot by my pond where I can pick some mint, make tea and cook a fish while sitting there doing a whole lot of nothing, this may be useful for that.
