onlyfire Cast Iron 2-in-1 Grill Grate Replacement for Weber 22.5" Kettle — Outer Cooking Ring + Removable Sear Insert, Heavy-Duty

The onlyfire 2-in-1 cast iron grill grate replacement is a dual-piece, heavy-duty cast iron insert designed to restore and upgrade Weber 22.5" kettle grills with a larger outer cooking grate and a removable inner sear grate for direct-access charcoal and pro-level searing.

This replacement grate set gives your 22.5-inch Weber kettle a durable cast iron cooking surface that heats evenly and holds heat for consistent sears. It consists of two matched parts: a full-ring hole-style outer cooking grate and a smaller, removable inner sear grate with raised handles. Together they bring commercial-style heat retention and easy charcoal access to backyard barbecues while fitting the Weber Gourmet BBQ System opening.

How does the two-part design make grilling easier?

The two-piece configuration separates the main cooking ring from a central sear insert so you can lift the inner grate to add charcoal, adjust heat, or check food without removing the entire outer grate. This keeps your setup stable during cooking and saves time when feeding or stoking the fire.

• Outer cooking grate diameter: 21.5" for broad coverage.
• Inner sear grate diameter: 11.8" for focused high heat searing.
• Raised side handles on the inner grate allow quick, safe removal.
• Fits Weber 22.5" Original Kettle, Performer, and Gourmet BBQ System models.

What performance improvements can I expect from cast iron?

Cast iron stores and distributes heat far better than thin steel grates, which helps create pronounced sear marks and more even cooking across the surface. The thick material also slows temperature fluctuations, so when you place steaks or vegetables on the grate they get rapid surface browning while juices stay inside.

• Superior heat retention for consistent searing.
• Even heat spread across both outer and inner grates.
• Durable construction reduces warping and extends grate life.
• Ideal for high-heat searing and lower indirect cooking zones.

How do I clean and maintain this cast iron replacement?

Cast iron benefits from simple upkeep: clean off food debris, dry thoroughly, and season the surface to build a protective layer. Regular seasoning and avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture will keep the grate performing and limit rust.

• Scrape with a stiff brush after each cook while warm.
• Wipe with oil and heat briefly to re-season the surface.
• Remove inner sear grate easily for deeper cleaning or charcoal access.
• Store indoors or dry after use to prevent corrosion.

Will this fit my specific Weber kettle model?

This onlyfire replacement was manufactured to match the Weber 22.5-inch Original Kettle family, including the Original Kettle Premium, Performer Premium, and models compatible with the Weber Gourmet BBQ System. Confirm your grill’s cooking ring diameter before ordering.

• Designed for 22.5" diameter Weber kettle cooking rings.
• Compatible with grills using the Gourmet BBQ System opening.
• Two-piece layout mirrors OEM insert configurations for easy swap-in.
• Check your grill manual if uncertain about compatibility.

Who is this for: The onlyfire 2-in-1 cast iron grate set suits backyard cooks who want to upgrade an aging Weber 22.5" kettle to a heavier, more heat-stable surface. It’s for home chefs who value pronounced sear marks, straightforward charcoal access, and long-lasting materials — ideal for weekend grillers, small outdoor gatherings, and anyone restoring or customizing a compatible Weber kettle.
