Stainless Steel Cooking Grates for Weber Spirit & Genesis - Durable

In this review the reviewer tested the LS'BABQ stainless steel replacement cooking grates to see whether they are a cost-effective, durable swap for worn factory grates. The bottom line: these 2-pack grates are best for owners of Weber Spirit 300 and 700 series or Genesis Silver/Gold/B/C models who need a close-fitting, stainless steel replacement without paying brand-name prices. They restore cooking surface area and heat contact with a straightforward installation, and the review focuses on fit, material, and value.

Key Features

• Exact fit options: Delivered as two grates sized 17 1/4 x 11 3/4 in each to form the full 17 1/4 x 23 1/2 in cooking area, they match the original layout for compatible models.
• Stainless steel construction: The material reduces flaking and improves longevity over sheet metal stock grates while keeping a stainless finish that is easy to maintain.
• Aftermarket replacement: These grates are designed to replace Weber part numbers such as 7638, 7527 and others, giving owners a lower-cost alternative for common models.
• Easy to clean: The smooth stainless surface wipes and soaks clean with soap and water, making post-cook cleanup simple.
• Simple installation: Replacing old grates requires no modification; users report they drop into place and restore cooking efficiency quickly.

Who It's For

These grates are ideal for backyard grill owners who already know their grill model and can confirm the 17 1/4 x 11 3/4 in half-grate sizing; they work best for Spirit 300 series, Spirit 700 and many Genesis Silver/Gold/B/C and Platinum models from around 2005 and for Genesis 1000-3500 series. Buyers who want a stainless steel finish and a practical, lower-cost alternative to factory parts will appreciate the value.

Shoppers who should look elsewhere include those who cannot confirm grate dimensions or who require OEM-branded warranty support; also, owners of grills with different grate lengths should measure before ordering to avoid fitment issues.
