Hongso 66096 18 7/8 inch Cast Iron Grill Grates Replacement for Weber Genesis II 610 and Genesis II LX 640 Series Gas Grills 2017 and Newer, Replacement Parts for Weber 66803

Work great

Fit my Weber just like the original.

I placed my order for the Hongso grates on June 28th. They were delivered on July 5th, two days ahead of the original promised date. The shipping package was in good shape and the grates had no visible damage when I opened up the box.Hongso states that the width of the grate is 13”, but it is an exact dimensional match for the OEM grates at 12-7/8” x 19.5”. The grates fit perfectly into my 14 YO Genesis 300 series grill.I saw some small differences in the appearance and construction of the Hongso compared to the Weber OEM grates. The differences in looks are slight and the Hongso castings are well made.The big differences are in the mass of metal in the grates. One of my Weber grates is still in very good shape with no noticeable wastage from rust or corrosion, even after 14 years of frequent (3x per week, or more) use. I keep my grill outside, but always under a waterproof cover.The new grates felt noticeably lighter. I recalled my days at R&D when my boss repeatedly told all of us on his team that, “the difference between guessing and knowing is called testing”. So I got out the bathroom scales to weigh the grates. First I weighed myself at 173.9 lbs. I next weighed myself holding the one Weber grate. The grate weighed 11.1 lbs. by subtraction. I next weighed myself holding the two Hongso grates. Their total weight was 15.9 lbs, or a hair under 8 lbs apiece. I weighed just myself again and the scale again returned a reading of 173.9 lbs.So did I get a bargain with the Hongso grates?They were delivered to my door for $59.99 plus state sales tax. That’s $3.77 per lb of grate metal. As of this writing the Weber site advertises replacement cast-iron, enamel-coated grates for $95.49 with free shipping. That’s $4.30 per pound. So the Hongso grates are only 12% cheaper than the Weber OEM replacements based on the amount of metal I bought.So, I did get a bargain from Hongso, but not the great (pun intended!) bargain that the difference in purchase prices might indicate.Am I happy with my purchase? So far, yes. But I don’t know yet how they cook compared to OEM grates. I will come back to this review with an updates after I have cooked a variety of foods on the grill.

Not the same level of quality as the original Weber units, but perfectly fine for what you pay vs. OEM (which is criminal).
