Reverse sear

NoobZero

I wanted to reverse sear a couple of filet mignons today. I was able to accomplish said technique but I ran into a problem. I gave up on removing my grate in order to remove the plate setter because my mitts were to thick to get a grip on the grate. I ended up searing them on the fire that came up around the plate setter. Is there a tool available to remove a hot cast iron grate?

I've been using one of these garden tools for years. Can't get link to work. Search on amazon for "garden hand cultivator". It's the first result.

Check out www.thirdeyeq.com.  I have those lifters that he makes, and I like them.

I had a Chargriller grill and the grate lifting tool that came with it works great. When I got rid of the grill, I kept the lifter and use it on the CI grate on my LBGE.  Here's the link. It only costs $7 bucks.

I just hook it with my ash tool and sit it on something(the driveway usually)
