Does this model come with the hinged grate?

The one I bought (Weber 741001) does not, but this newer model (751001) does seem to have one.

No hinged grate. The outside bottom is an awkward clip-on, and the charcoal grate inside just lifts out.

No. The standard grate has an opening by each handle to add coals. I bought the hinged grate at my local hardware store for around $15. It comes in handy for adding coals when you grill your Thanksgiving and Christmas Turkey. See weber.com for great instructions on how to grill a turkey. I also put a thermometer through the lid which is very helpful.

So... we have 1 yes and 3 no's... I probably wasn't very clear in my initial question what I'm asking if the top grill grate has a hinged section that you can lift up during your cook to add additional coals. I think it only comes stock on the Gold series kettle after doing more research.

No, it does not. But we LOVE it anyway! I would recommend you get the model with the removable grilling surfaces, for easier cleaning.

Mine did, but I didn't buy it through Amazon. I got it from a local store--but it's the same model. The grill came with a "griddle" that you can put in place of the circular center of the grill and a little tool that you use to lift up the grill/griddle. I am curious why it isn't included in the box when you buy it from amazon!

Yes it has a floating hinge. I Love the fact that the grease try is in the front and concealed.

Yes it does. Not a bad feature when cooking it spins on the ball hinge (both sides) to cook the other side. Both sides form a ball that fits into the housing of the base. When you close it you can then spin on the ball to cook the other side. The top side is designed to stand open as seen in the image.

No, not on this model & make. However, there are out there some models from different makers that do that, because the tray & the bottom of the door are hinged.

Wishful thinking! It does not, but my husband and I assembled it in a few hours. Wasn't too hard though directions weren't the easiest to understand all the time. Great grill, we love it. High quality.

yes it does come hinged on the right as in the photo, though I've heard there's a way to switch that.

There is a tray to pull out for cleaning. I don't know if there was a grate because I don't use it on mine since it seems unnecessary and just another (difficult) thing to clean. I can tell you that my Senegal parrot loves this activity center.

It comes with two grates as stated in the product bullet points. Hope this helps!

I believe it is. It been a while since I ordered. These are very nice grates. I am well satisfied so it must have be a good deal.

It comes with a scraper that fits the grate and works well, but does not actually clean the open slots. However, after scraping and preheating, the slots stay clean enough so as not to change the cooking. We have used ours at least 30-40 times so far. My concern is being able to buy a replacement grate when the time comes.

The grates that came with my unit are cast iron. In fact I would not purchase it if the grates were other than cast iron.

Yes it does. It's nice and heavy too. I see that someone posted that it replaces the grate. We didn't realize that, but it worked just fine just placing it on top of the grate.

Yes it does. We just keep the steel grate that came with it, on all the time
