Grill Extender - Sizes for top grid
Options

Posts: 154
Got in on the group buy for the grill extender and need to know what size grid to buy? I have a large.
Of course, I'd like to have the biggest one that will fit - preferably with enough room below for smaller stuff like ribs and wings.

It was designed to work with the 18 inch grid if the bottom grid is on the fire ring. He told me that it would work with one size down on the Plate setter. I used it with a weber 17 inch grate yesterday and it fit on the PS snugly and still closed. There is a 4.5 inch separation between the levels and more with spacers(it comes with one). I'll take some pictures when I get home today.

By one size down I meant the corresponding smaller size egg grid. XL-L, L-M, etc.

I believe I read on the original post that someone with a large could also get a 14.5 weber grid to save a buck or two.

Thanks for the responses. I looked at the weber grids on amazon. They are about $10 or so w/ free amazon prime shipping.Opelika, AL

brownbw, that looks like a good grate, but I see it's a charcoal grate. No big deal, but is it stainless steel or not? If not, that will be a real maintenance item.
What do you think?
Thanks

Wow - I picked up a medium grid yesterday for $49. It was SS. He said he'd sell me the porcelain one for $35.

Yup, the Weber charcoal grates bow. Not their cooking grates. The cooking grate off a Weber Smokey Joe would be a great alternative for those that are wanting a 15" top grate. The SJ grate is 14.5", close enough and you'll save a good chunk of change.

I'm thinking of using it with the SS grid 16.5inch from CGS for $37.99. Will that work?
