I chose to keep the original charcoal grate. It was rock solid.

The original grate was in bad shape so I opted to buy new. I felt this was a good time to try out one of the cast iron grates on the market. The cheapest cast iron grate for the 22.5"/18.5" Weber Kettle is the replacement unit from Char-Broil. This is a two piece unit and I bought it from Academy, Part #: 7315453, SKU #: 0021633896

The last remaining parts to reinstall is the ash catcher assembly.

The grill is complete! Beginning to end the rebuild/cleanup only took about two hours.

I found a spare Coleman propane cylinder and screwed it in place. The grill fired right up with the first attempt.
