Handles on Weber cooking grate
« on: May 17, 2018, 06:21:56 PM »
I have a 26" Weber and the only negative thing I can think of is why do they have the handles on the same side as the flip up grates on the grill. When I cook indirect and want to remove the grate while the coals are hot I have to handle it right over the hot coals. Anyone know if there is a reason why they have the handles at the same location as the flip up grates.

Guessing it provides a bit more cooking space if the handles are less likely to be where food is. Dunno.

It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

Easier to grab on table-mounted kettles.... at least when it's not hot.  I removed the handles on some of my grates and installed a u- bolt handle away from the opening.


Can be stacked crosswise when grilling very small items.

That’s a grate question.
