Grate Lifter
« on: May 06, 2015, 11:22:27 AM »
Not much of a review, but this is a Grate Lifter that I really like.  It works well with all of my grates, including over sized SS and various cast, as well as standard & GBS Weber grates.

Do you have the Char-Broil CI grate? Wondering how it would do with that one's larger openings. Good to know about the GBS, I presume you mean the standard plated steel insert, or the sear grate as well?
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

I do have the Char Broil CI. It lifts the 18" section fine. Not sure on the 22" section.

It lifted the gbs outside and standard rod insert. I don't have other inserts, but suspect it wouldn't work with the sear insert.

I do not have craycorts and cannot speak to how it works with them.

If we were meant to grill with gas then the garden of Eden would have had a pipeline

A quick update, pics of various grates.  I will say the GBS grate seemed really heavy to hold with one hand for the time it took to take the pic.  I can't hold it closer to the center, which would have helped.

I've been using the spring loaded BG Egg grate lifter. Bought two for use with my Ranch. I use the Ranch away from home mostly, and I like to take the grate off as soon as I'm done cooking on it (replacement grates are ridiculously expensive, so the less heat it sees, the longer it lasts). Welding gloves only keep the heat out for so long. It works with the Gourmet Grate set-up, just a little awkwardly though.

Costs $16.99 at a local Ace. Got mine at in December, so I worked out a deal with manager, to get two @ 25% off.

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn’t?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I’ve amassed a nice collection, but I’m missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞
