Hello,

Just curious, I am from Canada and I went to my local distributor and he said that he charges around $100 for a cast iron grid for BGE Large. When I was done laughing (don't think profit is a dirty word but gouging is) I went an purchased one for a gaser...cut to size....now I have a great grate (cast iron) that cost me a whopping $20. Is it me or is that price a little insulting? Not poor but also not dumb.
Also remember tax would be another 13%

Regards

    I think I paid $50 for mine,then dropped and broke it.My dealer sold me the second one for $35 so now I have 1 2/3 CIG's.I think your dealer is outrageous.I'll bet your custom grid works just as well as the rip off model.Good thinking.

    I just live outside of Toronto on the East side on the lake. I used my new cast iron grate tonight and yes it works awesome! Seared up some sirloin steaks.
    ChefTone....do what I did....measure up your Egg diameter (not sure what size egg you have)...go out and buy a "replacement" cast iron grate for a gaser. If you have an angle grinder and a zip-cut disc....well have fun. Took me 20 minutes and one beer.

    Cheers

    It is much higher than you would have paid at the mothership.
