Well, now I'm discovering that Home Depot has an exclusive deal with
Weber to offer cast iron grates with the grill I am looking at (The
Spirit 310). Since the grates normally go for about $70 by
themselves, I still come out ahead about $30 if I buy the grill at HD
as opposed to buying it from Amazon and then buying the grates
separately. I think I am probably going to buy it at Home Depot, but
assemble it myself.

Thanks to everyone who replied.
