This sounds like a good plan.

Well if by 'directly' you mean IDL code to read GRIB files, then I don't
believe it exists. Why would you want it anyway? wgrib is a very well
designed utility, and you could always call it via a SPAWN command from
within an IDL program.

BTW wgrib is available from http://wesley.wwb.noaa.gov
