Cheap Raised Grid

GATABITES

What are my options for a cheap quick method for raising the grid? I am prolly going to spring for the A/R from CGS; but what options do I have in the mean time? 

Damn, I have spend so much $$ to enhance my egging experience, I need some cheaper alternatives. I don't want to think about how much I have spend since purchasing my egg on May 23 2013. The XL Egg, Challenger cart, CI 1/2 grid ash tool, ash pan. grid gripper etc. 

IM BROKE!!!!  Its really a shame!!!! LOL 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

How much do you want to raise it? You can raise it up to the gasket level with bricks (I've used 3 small paver stones) or a little higher with 3 empty beer cans.

5" bolts and washers - I used that until I got the AR this week.

Home depot:

I bought a 18" weber grate, use this as a lower grate..

4 5" bolts with washers to put on the factory grate edges

13"  brinkmann grill stone to put on the lower grate for indirect setup.

It's a PITA, but works.

My old setup is here.. about 1/2 way down.   I used bolts that were too short. (and it looks like my stone is 15")
