cooking grates for my UDS

Post by kwazulu »

Folks, I am trying to source some cooking grates for my UDS. Can anyone suggest a supplier? I don't really want to have to buy the Weber ones for this project.

Thanks.

Have a look at Homebase & B&Q they sell grates of different sizes. Mind you if you buy an Aldi ot Lidl kettle BBQ it's still cheaper than an OEM grate from Weber

How much for?

I used a sheet of 3mm weld mesh from a local steel supplier and cut around an existing grate for the size

Gents, thanks for suggestions and links. I'll be paying my local homebase a visit at the end of the week :D
