The grid falls in on the plate setter....it is like it is too small??
-
That don't look right. Do you have a grid from a small? The circumference change is actually minor, but results in big changes to the total square inches.
XXL #82 out of the first 100, XLGE X 2, LBGE (gave this one to daughter 1.0) , MBGE (now in the hands of iloveagoodyoke daughter 2.0) and lots of toys -
The circumference for a medium is 15 inches i believe, and thats what the grid measures.
-
Head back to your dealer-platesetter looks like its too big-should be some clearance between the platesetter and the inner diameter of the base. Smaller platesetter would be one option-don't know if you could use the current platesetter with an over-sized grid. Good luck!

Same problem - it will fit but it will not completely cover the legs in the up position - you have to balance it with the grid being about half-way set on all the legs - just another reason I should have bought a large :-(

Sounds like there was a running change to the platesetter specs for this to now become an issue. I would hope enough customers complain that BGEHQ takes a look at what is going on. Independent of the $$ involved-you shouldn't have to jury-rig the basic components to get it to work as designed. Just my two cents-off the small soap box!Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -

BTW - "Griddle" = grill

Sorry I can't help, I only cooked once on a medium once at an egg fest and didn't use the plate setter. But something doesn't look right.

that's an old version grid trying to sit on a new version platesetter. Old medium version grid was porcelain (black) and 15" diameter. New grid is 15.75 dia. and stainless.Also, check to make sure the platesetter sits down on the fire ring with the legs pointing down. Some folks have issue with the legs hanging on the inner egg wall.tomwww.ceramicgrillstore.com ACGP, Inc.

Here is how mine sits on the place setter. The outside ring of the grid fits perfectly. If you do have the SS grid, perhaps the cast for the place setter was off when the ceramic was fired.
-
Here are some different angles and close-ups.
-
Eggcelsior - that's how they should fit - unfortunately, and I don't know whether this is just a problem on the medium or others also, it doesn't work that way on mine - I've sent an email to the mother ship but I doubt I'll get much in the way of resolution
-
I would go back to the dealer, if he is worth his salt he would help you. As for the mothership, call them during regular business hours and leave a message. They will get back to you.
-
Definetly go back to the dealer and make sure it's right. If that doesn't work send that pic to HQ. They'll make sure it's correct

I suggest that you take the grill grid with you back to the dealer and match up a plate setter to your grill if this would help.
