My grate doesn't quite fit on my placesetter and a raised grate question
Helmet
Posts: 163
Hello everyone,
I have a medium and I bought a placesetter for it after I purchased it (used) and my issue is that my grate doesn't quite fit on my placesetter (legs up). it's just a little bit too small, so it won't quite 'lock up' over top and it slides around on the placesetter feet. I thought remembered reading on there that there were two different sized grates for the medium but I can't seem to find it anymore. Can someone advise?
Secondly, once I get the right sized grate, I'd like to do a raised grate setup, can anyone advise what size top grate I'd need for a medium or if it's even possible?

I can't help with the medium issue as I have a large. Here is a useful tip if you have a large as well. That older style 15 inch grid that you have will work on the spider in the large. The newer 15.75 will not. Just thought I would share.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

Not sure where you are located but if you are near by I would like to take that 15 inch off your hands.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

If you have a 15.75 you're willing to trade (mine is the black grate) I'd be happy to ship you mine on Monday, not sure if it would be worth it though.Medium BGE, Weber Q120 (The traveller)"I claim artistic license, it has a good beat, I can dance to it"

I do not. I have the large egg and it uses a 17. But that older 15 will work on the spider in my large. The newer 15.75 will not. If your is SS I will gladly buy it if you are interested. If it's porcelain coated it will not hold up to being close to the coals. Is yours SS?

@Helmet .Could you buy a new grate from BGE and use the old one to raise a cook using nuts and bolts?

I had the same issue 3-4 years ago and its how they were coming new. I got rid of my medium because of it. I checked several stores and every floor model had the same issue and I was told by the sales rep they had previous complaints about it.

Unfortunatly @SGH - it's porcelain coated I believe (it's black - and not just from grill grease )
@HHumptyEsq - that's not a bad idea, I wonder how far up into the dome I can get it, I'll check on it laterMedium BGE, Weber Q120 (The traveller)"I claim artistic license, it has a good beat, I can dance to it" -
@Lit, it's crazy that they didn't know about it back then at the dealers.Medium BGE, Weber Q120 (The traveller)"I claim artistic license, it has a good beat, I can dance to it"
