Took a grid/platesetter for an XL Big Green Egg and added it to the rear frame of the Mini Ranch.

There are a few different sellers of these. I tried to bend some round stock but it kept snapping off at the close angles.
So I went with some from Onlyfire.

Works great for my application. I can see this working it's way into another future mod.

I like how your grate stores out of the way and you cant bump into it while your loading charcoal or cleaning the kettle. The old SSP has a hook on it that I always liked too.

What I always thought Weber should have done when they designed the bail's center support would have been to add a punched out tab/hook, close to the top where the bail goes through it, to hang the grate on. They might figure that out eventually.

Very well done Brian.




You can't always get what you want....but if you try sometimes you get what you need

I love the idea.  That end of the kettle seems unusable, so that's a Great place to store the Grate  :-) .    I might try to heat and bend to 4043 steel rod and make myself one.  Thanks!!
