I dropped my cast iron Mini Cooking Grate. Broke in 1/2 piece I cannot find one anywhere. Can someone direct me to where I could find one. Thanks

Can you simply use it as two pieces? If not are you handy with a hack saw or even an angle grinder and simply cut a circle out of a rectangular piece. Cast iron is actually pretty soft metal. BTW I've made 4 such grates - 1 for myself and 3 for friends.

You da man!!!

there are two sizes here

and plenty of sellers in the US. 

smaller size might be too small to hit fire ring.    

larger size might work and be easier to cut in 6 small spots between the rings.

I’m going to measure my mini tomorrow to get the right size. Thanks everyone

personally I like a pair of half CI grates. Lots more flexibility including putting a half moon plancha on one side, or having the SS grill at fire ring level and the back of the egg with a half CI grid letting get at the lower or the upper cook.

I’ve read your post 3-4 times. You like to use a half moon plancha on a mini egg? I didn’t even know there was one for a mini egg? I learn something new everyday.

no, my fault I was talking about what I like to do on my large.  I got sidetracked from the topic at hand and forgot that it was your mini that broke the grid.

I lost focus, it happens. ask my wife.
