I suggest you use the decoder dcgrib2 to convert from grid to GEMPAK format.  

cat file.grib2 | dcgrib2 -d dcgrib2.log -v 1 output_YYYYMMDDHHfFFF.gem

you can then directly access the file in any GD program with GDFILE.

If you have non-standard grib parameters then this gets more complicated with 
custom grib files.
