High Que Grate is the GREATEST

yzzi said:Before I make this a Christmas gift for myself, has anyone tried drilling out holes to make slots in the standard grate? Seems like it wouldn't be too much work with a vice and a sawzaw or something. Anyone Experiment with this before I do?
I already had the high-que grate, so I just drilled a few holes. Not having used it, I can't attest to the durability.

Hogsfan your right on with the cleaning up of the ash. Every time I build a new fire I take the ash tool and scrape it back and forth an till all the ash falls through the the holes, dust going every place. See you guys latter I'm going to Home Deficit, so I lose the small lump.

I even posted on another forum that I didn't think the XL needed a High Que a few days before I realized the Weber grates fit and gave this a shot. I still think the XL doesn't "need" it in the sense that my medium absolutely needed it on long cooks, but the difference in heat up speed and ash clean up after the cook is spectacular. Best 26 bucks I could have spent on my XL.Hope this helps.
Are these the 22" Webber grates?I just saw this. Sorry. Yes, but it's the charcoal grate for the 22. Not the cooking grate. They measure about 17 inches across (almost identical size to the factory XL grate). -

High-Ques on both my Large and Small, really helped the pizzas on the Large and wokking on the Small!A question though for Hogsfan: The High-Ques are bars going one direction only, but you've doubled two charcoal grates in a checkerboard pattern. Are the bars further apart? Have you tried using just one Weber grate?_____________

Question: with the larger openings is it harder to hold lower temps without a BBQ guru or something similar? What about smaller pieces that would burn would they fall through now?Boom

Own an xl and I assure you no need for it.When was the last time you did something for the first time? - Zick Boulder, CO

I've done something similar to hogsfan in my KJ. A side benefit from using these is that I've started lighting my fires from the bottom with 4-5 pages of newspaper. Kinda like using the egg as a charcoal chimney starter. It's quick and easy.

I just purchased a weber charcoal grate that is the same size as the cast iron charcoal grate on my Large BGE, seems identical to the High Que, but it was only 8 dollars. The seller said it was rated to in excess of 1000 degrees. Obviously I am concerned with possible warping, has anyone out there tried it? Where I purchased it has the largest collection of Egg Accessories, and BBQ items I have ever seen, and the seller was the owner who has been in business for 40 years, so i respect his opinion. Its one of those old school hardware stores, entire basement is Egg's and BBQ's. I will let everyone know if it works, if not I am only out 8 bucks and will go with the High-Que.2 Large BGE, 1 Small.

Have the standard grate in my LBGE that has about a 2 1/2 inch crack in it...ordered the High Que grate today. Sounds like everyone that has gotten one is happy with it. Can't wait to get er installed. Doing two butt's for tailgating this W/E. War Eagle !!!Opelika, Alabama
