Third Hand

I've been wanting to buy one for more than 1/2 a year and still haven't been able to get on the waiting list. So its time to try another strategy.
Does anyone have one they would like to part with?
Would someone trace one on a piece of paper and e-mail me so I can try making one. I can't weld, but I can talk my brother into giving it a try.

Just an XL and a few other grills...

Maybe NOLA can do it. He's pretty good at drawing.
If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit!

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeDo you have a table? Can you put a hook or something on your table to hang the grid? If you have an outdoor kitchen w/ maybe a pergola, how about installing some hooks on that?
Have you checked out my table? http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1143519/hhs-table-finally-done-w-some-egg-o-vative-design-elements#latest
I tried to incorporate solutions for all the issues we face when Egging, including what to do w/ hot grids. Perhaps it can spark some ideas from you which will work in your cooking area.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree Like95% of the time, I just grab the grid and set it on my gas grill (when the grate is hot) or hang it from an S hook on the eggmates (when the grate is cold). The appeal of the third hand was to grab my 18" CI grid when it is hot (e.g. pre-heated to TRex) so that I can adjust the coals or toss in the mesquite and be able to hang it if the gas grill is in use as a warmer.
it looked like a cool toy and I've only heard good things about. I can guess at the dimensions based upon the photo, I just thought someone might have one which would make it easy to copy.

And then just use the hook/loop thingy that is on the handle & hang the whole thing from a hook. That way you have the grid lifter and the grid hanging from a hook.
Just another thought - I'm sure you'll figure something out - that's the cool thing about posting questions on the forum, you get many sets of eyes on a problem, and many suggestions!!

Ragtop - For now, my waiting list is open again and I have about 30 in inventory. Can't say how long they will last, they have been going like hotcakes. Try hitting the "refresh" button on your browser if you are getting the "Waiting List Is Closed" message.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeThe garden tool is another neat idea. The hole at the top could be enlarged to feed an S hook through it and hang using the holes in the eggmates.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeI have one of these and it works great. I tilt mine just a hair and hang it on to the hooks on the side of my table. The weld is pretty cheap on the bottom. Mine broke so I had it redone. The new weld will definitely stand the test of time.

I use the BGE grid lifter and place the hot grate on a couple of bricks on the deck or on the marble cutting board on top of my table till it cools.
Before I got the BGE lifter I used a small pry bar as a grid lifter/charcoal stirrer/ash tool.
