onlyfire Kettle Grill Cooking Grate System for 22" Weber Kettles — Multi-Level Stainless Rack

The onlyfire Barbecue Cooking Grate System upgrades a 22" Weber-style kettle into a multi-level grill for more space, better heat control, and cleaner indirect cooking.

If you own a 22-inch Weber kettle or a similarly sized kettle grill, this modular cooking grate system converts it into a more versatile cooker without permanent modifications. Built to sit on the original grate supports, the kit raises and divides the cooking area so you can sear directly over heat, smoke with indirect heat, or keep foods warmer on a raised shelf. It’s stainless steel, designed for everyday backyard use and to limit flare-ups by separating food from coals.

How does the kit increase usable cooking space?

The system adds a raised base rack plus two half-moon cooking grates that create multiple levels for food. By stacking surfaces, you can spread items across the kettle without crowding one grate, effectively expanding capacity and enabling different heat zones.

• Raised base sits on original grate tabs for a stable second tier
• Two half-moon stainless steel grates provide more simultaneous cooking area
• Expands grill surface up to roughly 250% versus a single grate

What heat management options are included?

The package contains two half-moon heat deflectors that convert direct heat into even indirect heat for smoking or gentle cooking. Use them to shield delicate items from direct flames or to set up a two-zone configuration for searing and slow roasting in the same kettle.

• Two half-moon deflectors create an indirect heat zone
• Separate sear area from low-and-slow area in one session
• Deflectors reduce flare-ups and help maintain stable temperatures

Will this fit my kettle and stay secure while cooking?

The base rack is engineered to align with standard grate tabs found in most 22" Weber-style kettles. Two tangs on the base lock into those tabs so the system sits firmly without rotating or collapsing during use.

• Designed for 22" Weber kettle and similar-sized grills
• Base rack tangs line up with factory grate tabs for stability
• Secure fit prevents spinning and keeps grates level when adding or removing food

How does it affect food results and cleanup?

Raising food off the coals reduces direct charring and overcooking while still delivering grilled flavor. Stainless steel parts are simple to brush and rinse; removing the deflectors and grates makes ash management and deep cleaning easier than working around a single crowded grate.

• Reduces burnt spots by separating food from intense coals
• Stainless steel surfaces clean with a grill brush and soapy water
• Modular pieces are quick to remove for ash access and maintenance

Who this is for: backyard cooks who want more flexibility from a 22" kettle—whether you’re searing steaks, smoking ribs, or feeding a crowd without upgrading to a larger grill. It’s suited to owners of Weber-style kettles who want a stable, non-permanent expansion that improves heat control, increases capacity, and simplifies multitasking on the barbecue.
