Hello all. The wife dragged me into Target on Saturday and, surprisingly, I found something to look at! The pitifully small grilling section had a selection of Weber accessories and, for some reason, they were all on clearance sale. I got a new grill brush for ~6 and a new hinged grate for my Performer for ~12. Not sure how long this will last but you can give it a shot. I live in the Albany area, btw.

last fall i bought 5 hinged grates at target on sale for $4.00 ea. enough for the rest of my life. targets sales are spotty.
