I am trying to get some more Grill clearance to be able to utilize my 5 inch high slow and sear attachment.

My current clearance is 4 inches. Thank you in advance for any recommendations you may have. Best regards.

In one of Tom Horsman's videos- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBcn0ZGqvqU - at about the 6:35 mark he shows some clips that raise the cooking grate up. I made some out of steel but haven't tried them yet. Looks like they will work. I hope the link I put here works. The title to the video is USA Made Weber 22" Kettle Heat Diffuser and Charcoal Basket Review / Cajun Turkey Roast Indirect! Maybe you can look for it if the link doesn't work.

Hi ASpitzer, thx for the reply. I did see that video, he mentions "Skyflame" as a source, who no longer carries the clips, I also found these on Amazon:

I think they will not work on my kettle, it looks like they require pre-stamped tab openings to be able to receive the clips. I guess the search goes on...

I ended up going with this from Amazon:

The plan is to attach four of these on the inside of the kettle, using a 10-32 black stainless button head screw on the outside of kettle, and fastening it down with a stainless locking washer and nut. I will let you know how this works out. Here is the Amazon link:
