It slices! It dices! Its makes Julian fries like a professional!
Ok so my latest project doesn't do those things but it's does have three very nice uses.
For the past few weeks I have been working on the best way to raise my pizza stone to promote even cooking.
Also this week I cooked a large number of chicken peices and corn indirect and grill space was at a premium. A raised second grate would have been ideal for that as well.
It was then I realize these are different problems with a common solution:
A raised grate using stainless carriage bolts as legs like others have made would solve both problems.
I grabbed some 4" bolts and hardware and started experimenting with various grates from an 14" SJ cooking grate on up. The best fit for my 14.75" pizza stone was a cooking grate from an 18" kettle.
Knowing that the hovergrill is similar dimensions I knew this would fit for a raised indirect cooking grate as well:
So as I tested the fit for pizza and indirect cooking I realized that there is third use for this:
This can add a third rack to my wsm too!
While this configuration will work fine, it may come in handy more as a "middle rack" for my wsm. By closing the gap between the two grates will close the temp gap by mitigating the heat diffusion of the water bowl.
Overall, It's fairly sturdy as a tripod but I may add a fourth leg just to play it safe and make spacing easier. I like the fact that the bolts are easy on easy off so I can change grate sizes if the need arrises, and the grate can go right back on the kettle or wsm as is.
Looking forward to a few test cooks.
