so i have a weber 22 premium OTW and i want to use a vortex on it and need some info to help me choose a grate for it . ATM the weber 8835 seems to be the easiest choice , but it's $52 and plated steel .FWIU weber makes a SS version but it isn't available in America :( . i've read and seen comments on YT about the vortex damaging grates that aren't SS or cast iron . i can't find a budget friendly SS grate with a insert and i'm concerned about the durability of the the cast iron grates slightly above my comfort level . i found this uniflasy for $70 on amazon ...
but i have no idea if it's reasonably durable . i don't plan on using it like a frisbee but i am clumsy and accidents do happen . if anyone is using the uniflasy or has used one what is your opinion of it ? if i go the cast route FWIU if i dont have a insert i'll have to re-season after every vortex use because the seasoning wil be burned off and can cause rusts and food to stick to it . is that true ?
i'm open to other suggestions ..... killa grilla seems to be popular here but are out of my price range . am i over concerned about damaging the stock grate on the premier ? or should i just use it till it's shot and then worry about getting something decent to replace it ?
take care folks , jeff
