Call Me Anal

neumski · April 2012

Call me anal. Got my second large egg 3 days ago and notice the grills are SS now, and it does not fit my fire ring as well as the other porcelain grill. The size of this thing is as such that if you adjust and I mean minutely adjust... you can get it centered on the ring. WTH.

great title for your post... lacking context, it really makes for an interesting read first thing in the morning.

Maybe it will fit better with some lube??

So far this week I've read about "Turbo Butt Success" and Anal. Not exactly what I thought I was getting into but hilarious none the less.

That stinks.

If you ease it in there, you'll really enjoy it.

No thank you

As Carson Kressley said about the edgy new sofa, "you'll love it once it's in".

I'm not going to guess what your emoticon is communicating....

one in the...

Ok...all joking aside...haha...who has the new ss grill and what's your thought on them. I think I kinda miss the porcelain ones.

jaydub58 · April 2012

I did buy the new SS about 4 mnths ago, and never looked back!

To me, the porcelain is more of a maintenance issue, and I don't need that. I am perfectly with the SS, no issue with the fit on the BGE.

:-c

i got my SS grid from tjv (the ceramic grill store) and it fits perfectly.
porcelian doesn't last. the SS is an upgrade.

not sure the what the issue is with the diameter if it still fits on the fire ring. i would be happy BGE was shipping SS grids now

pezking7p · April 2012

My ring seems to fit fine. Not particularly tight, but I'm told that's good for a first-timer. ;)

neumski · April 2012

Ok...so ya'll seem to like the SS. I'm glad to hear that. I guess what I'm trying to say is is the darn thing or lip of the grill sit's typically off of one side if I don't set it just right. I'm wondering if I get a platesetter it's going to sit on it correctly?

stike · April 2012

if you cram it all the way to one side, are you saying one portion isn't sitting on the fire ring? or are you just twigged a bit because it isn't centered?

if #1, it still won't fall in. no worries
if #2, then yeah. that's a little anal-retentive (as opposed to just 'anal') :))

ok ok.

re: platesetter. legs up, the grid should still fit on the platesetter if it sits on the fire ring. how big is the space?

Little Steven · April 2012

I love it when you talk dirty

bigguy136 · April 2012

I have the porcelian one. I will trade for your SS if you want.

MeAndTheDog · April 2012

PICS? Aww shucks! Not what I was expecting.

xraypat23 · April 2012

I have the stainless, came with my egg. Fit's fine, gotta leave room for expansion and contraction. Something tells me after a few 650+ heat cycles that the porcelain would fail.

neumski · April 2012

Well I appreciate the input that the SS grill is the better of the two. Is the rim of the grate supposed to slip over the outside of the fire ring or sit on top?

Cowdogs · April 2012

Sit on top.

neumski · April 2012

Haha Cowdogs.

evenwhenitsraining · April 2012

Remember that you can always buy a cast iron grate for the Egg, as well. Cast Iron is all I use now.

Cowdogs · April 2012

Haha Cowdogs.

This thread deserved that...

stike · April 2012

saw you changed the title. shouldn't it be "anal retentive". otherwise "anal" just means "of or like an a-hole", which is sorta my corner of the market
:))

neumski · April 2012

I did not change it...someone else did. That's because most of your minds are in the gutter. Did'nt even cross my mind.

neumski · April 2012

Yeah evenwhenitrains...I will consider the cast iron one but I got to find out which of these is probably off sized...I'm trying to remember my old large egg and how the grill fit the fire ring. I just called the store I purchased it from and they noticed the same thing.

stike · April 2012

our minds aren't in the gutter. 'anal' means one thing.

and even "anal retentive" still refers to the anus. :)) not sure how you don't know/see that, unless you think it magically only means means 'picky' when that's what you mean.

neumski · April 2012

Boy...you are all the ball haha...that's what I meant...and quite rightly...ya'll know that. Anal has alway,s meant picky. Do you all usually refer it in other ways in your conversations and do you use it commonly in your conversations? I don't see how you don't see that. Here for all...this came out of the dictionary...ya'll just choose to include the other definitions. • informal anal-retentive : he's anal about things like that.

Howdy, Stranger!
