Got my new grate from Craycort Cast-Iron-Grates. Did big pork chops for the first cook.

Built a pretty good sized fire and let it heat up a bit.

Cooked the chops. Moved off to the cool side. Fire was pretty hot would have got better grill marks but didnt want to char the choppage too much. Thew a hickory stick on and shut the lid to finnish.

The grate worked well. I was happy with the results. Cleaned up easy with water and a brush. I still have to experiment a bit but overall I think this a good product. Should last forever with proper care. :icon_cool
 
Yeah, very nice!

That grate will compliment my new kettle table I'm working on.... hmmm...something else to think about...:D
 
What's up with the ash catch mod? Is that to get the plate closer to the exit? less blowing ash?

No that's a good old style classic Weber before the clips became all the rage. Notice the wood handles on both sides.

Yep. No mods there. I just picked that one up at a garage sale for $20. Needed a little clean-up and a cast iron grate! :icon_cool
 
Nice looking food! Glad to hear the cast iron grate is starting to ship... just realized I haven't put my order in yet!
 
Nice lookin chops!

Thinkin I might have to get one of those grates.

I've been using one 1/2 of a PCI grate for a Weber gasser but it can be
a pain to pick up and move around on the regular grate because of the
swing up parts that allow access to the fire.
 
Was wondering if anyone made a cast grate for a Weber. Very nice !!!!

As a matter of fact, I ordered one before I posted this !!!!

Thanks for the post.

Each quarter of the grate lifts out for easy access to the fire. Pretty cool. :icon_cool
 
Adding wood while the grate is hot might get a little tricky. Do you have a grate lifter or some other device? I think I would miss a grate hinge in that situation.
