67cm/26in Kettle Offset Plate 304SS

Turn your Weber 26" (67cm) kettle into a more efficient, versatile BBQ with our 67cm (26") Stainless Steel Offset Plate.

Designed specifically for 67cm (26") Weber-style kettles, this offset plate sits on the charcoal grate to create clearly defined direct and indirect cooking zones while improving airflow through your charcoal. Instead of heat and smoke circulating randomly, air is drawn from the bottom vent, through the charcoal, across your food and out the top vent, delivering cleaner burns, better temperature control and more consistent cooking.

The offset plate sits securely on the charcoal grate and is designed to be used with genuine Weber charcoal baskets or on its own. We recommend using charcoal baskets where possible to help prevent unnecessary wear to the kettle bowl while keeping your charcoal neatly contained.

Whether you're smoking brisket, roasting a whole chicken, reverse searing steaks or cooking low and slow, the Offset Plate helps your kettle perform more like a charcoal-fired convection oven while using less fuel.

⚠️ Please Note: There are two different versions of the 67cm (26") Weber Kettle, and each requires a different Offset Plate.

• Newer 26" Weber Kettle – Requires our New Style 26" Offset Plate.
• Older 26" Weber Kettle – Requires our Old Style 26" Offset Plate.

The dimensions between these kettles differ, making the plates not interchangeable. Please check the product specifications and measure your kettle carefully before ordering to ensure you select the correct version.

Installation

The Offset Plate is designed to sit directly on your charcoal grate (the lower grate inside your kettle), not the cooking grill. It can be used on its own or with a genuine Weber Charcoal Basket. We recommend using the basket to keep the charcoal contained and help prevent unnecessary wear to the kettle bowl. If you choose to run the plate without the basket, the offset plate can hold approximately twice the charcoal capacity of a genuine Weber Charcoal Basket, making it ideal for longer cooks.

Typical Burn Times

One of the questions we get asked the most is, “How long will my charcoal last?”

While burn times will vary depending on weather, charcoal brand, vent settings and cooking temperature, here’s what we’ve found using quality briquettes in the 22"/57cm Kettle:  If you're willing to do some testing for us please get in contact prior to purchase.

Note: Burn times and temps are approx. only and highly depend on the brand and quality of fuel. We use Heatbeads Red for all of our testing.

Because the offset plate directs airflow through the charcoal rather than around it, you’ll get a cleaner, more efficient burn and better temperature control throughout your cook.

If you’re serious about getting the most out of your Weber kettle, this is one accessory you’ll wonder how you ever BBQ’d without.
