anyone just poke some holes?
« on: April 02, 2017, 12:52:54 PM »
on my outrider recently got some new 18 grates and discovered that the outsider grate is half an inch bigger then the normal 18 grate. anyone just poke a few holes to put some bolts in to accommodate the normal 18 or does everyone just get the outrider grate?
reason i ask is cuz ereplacementparts.com has it but shipping nearly doubles the price

You can totally do that to get up and running. Weber direct usually offers flat rate $7 shipping

I picked up an outrider today and ordered a new grate. The one it came with is salvageable I think if you want it. A good soak and scrub could get the rust off. Not sure what the general consensus is on grate restoring.

Brush it clean, oil it and use as is

I brushed and oiled it a little and it's definitely still good. I will hold onto it for you. I will be heading that way eventually. Maybe you can agent something for me in return ;)
