What kind of grates does this have, and how many? I currently have cast iron, but find them more hassle than they are worth.

There were 3 grates. I'm not sure what type they are but definitely not cast iron.

It comes with two grates as stated in the product bullet points. Hope this helps!

The original is aluminum that I discovered when I got my grill. My original aluminum ones melted due to leaving the grill on longer that I guess you should, which I never saw in any instructions. I decided to get the cast iron ones so I would not have a problem if I did a lot of grilling, which sometimes we do while camping. I have not had a problem with the cast iron ones.

I think you can buy an off market set up. I know it cost over hundred dollars for cast iron to fit the unit. I did see porcelain But I've had experiences with porcelain peeling off in the past. This was about three years ago when I checesk this out

It is better to buy the porcelain enamel cast iron weber grate. It is a little pricey at $65 at Amazon.

the long with is 29/!/2 $( in around. if buying, get another grate, as the oringle is to small for all the heat, other wise it works nice, also buy bbq paint as it will rust

I emailed Weber and they said the grates I need for my Weber Genesis E-310 are model 7528. Unfortunately they cost about twice the price as these do.

It comes with one grate, one solid tray & one mixing pan. The solid tray & the mixing pan are interchangeable for 3 positions. You can put the pan on the top from underneath & use the grated on the top when potting. Or use the pan for storage. I'm very pleased with mine.

If you search online you can find that there are cast iron grates available for the 26.5" Weber. This is a great grill and worth the investment. You should not have to replace the stainless grill unless you get very angry and destroy it by slamming it down because you don't want to cook, LOL.

There are three grates. Each is nine inches wide. I'm not sure why you'd want stainless steel; the coated iron is MUCH easier to clean and retains heat better than the coat hanger version.

I have the cast iron grates on my Weber grills at both of our places in Utah and Texas. We just returned to Utah after 7 months and the grill on my Performer (covered but outside all winter) was still in perfect condition. Never have had any issues. I always just clean them down with a brush like usual before leaving. They are the greatest - really surprised Weber doesn't have them on their grills.

I can't see which of my reviews Mark D. is asking about. They are all cast iron, except for the one I reviewed in February 2014. The 2014 purchase has cheap grates for the charcoal to rest on that are not cast iron.

Honestly,I don't know about that model. I was able to fine the replacement part number for my Weber from the Weber website. My grill came with the cast iron grates,I switched to the stainless and love them. I use a wire brush to clean my grill, I hope this helps...sorry I couldn't completely answer your question though.

I have used the stove grate with the other side being the griddle and the grill. It does not matter. I think you could even use 2 stove grates.

The grate is made of cast iron. I am sure it will endure for life of this stove.They work well for our use.

Honestly I do not remember. I am very pleased with the grates. They are heavy and fit perfectly. I would check my gril but my grill cover is loaded down with snow.
