A QUESTION FOR FANS OF THE WEBER CHARCOAL GO-ANYWHERE IN REGARDS TO THE GRATE MO

[captjoe06]

I have a question for those of you that have modified the cooking grate to cut it in half so you can remove a portion of it to add coals without removing the food. Also they cut it so it can be packed flat in the bottom of the grill so they can transport a mini- chimney and other cooking tools.  Where do you cut it?[/font][/size]
In videos I've watched, most people cut it right down the center.   I was thinking about cutting it 1/3- 2/3 and using the 2/3 section for the cooking area and 1/3 area for the section over where I'd add the coals.
I purchased this stainless replacement grate to do the mod with.  It gets reviewed as being a nice heavy true stainless grate (as opposed to a chrome plated steel one) but many customers said it was a touch too long to fit.  My guess is that's why it's such a cheap price, but seeing as I plan to cut mine to modify it anyway that's not an issue.[/color][/font]

I love the idea of the 2/3 to 1/3 split works grate in my vehicles... I cut mine in the center when I did my original mod, today when I am putzing around I'll cut another grate I have in that configuration too, thanks. My next cga mods will be to my riser I want to add a wsm temp probe grommet and to add a second  cooking grate

I always thought they cut in half so they can rotate and store grates in the bottom. The 2/3 section would not fit if you try and store in the bottom.

There would be an opportunity for a manufacturer to make a hinged grate for the Go-Anwhere.

Ahhh, that must be it.

Cut it into 3 pieces, then they will all fit and you can do what you want with the 2/3 grate

Plus by the time you make those cuts the total length will be a better fit if its too long whole

The grate came in .  It weighs 1.9 lbs on the digital scale compared to the stock grate is 1.4 lbs.  It's stainless, the tines are thicker and it's pretty inexpensive.  It also fits perfectly.

I like the ease in lifting these kinds of grates with a simple pair of tongs

My used CGA didn't come with a grate, so I bought one of the cheap stainless ones from Amazon. It was too long out of the box. I cut mine just off center, using bolt cutters. I removed the extra bit between the tines that got separated, and now it works perfectly.
