Grate too Low!

Medic72072

I'm finding one thing I don't like about my Egg. I was wanting some advice. When cooking with direct heat, I don't like how low the cooking grate sits down in my Egg. Are there any eggsessories out there I can use to raise the cooking grate so it's easier to get to? Thanks, Mike

I wouldn't call it an eggsessory, but I just went to Home Depot and bought some 1 inch copper tubing (~$5) and cut 3 pieces that are 4 inches long and put these pieces on the fire ring and then put the grate on these, if I need to move it up some.  I've heard others use pennies, which you could better adjust the height of, but with my luck they'd fall in the fire or something.

You can make a raised grid like this:

...or use fire bricks

If you will just come back to Texas we will show you how it's done my friend. Mark March 16th and bring a kilt.

I'm not sure how serious your are but mine sat in my garage for a year before I used it like that. :-/
