Where do you put your grill grates?

grndr420 · November 2015

Where do you put your greasy grill grates when filling up the egg with charcoal? I use old cardboard boxes to lay the grate on. I'm sure there is a better way.

Welcome to the forum. I use one of these.

I have the above racks, but also like my grid lifter for this reason.

I have a couple of Grate Racks, and added a table to my old Weber, now storage device:

@grndr420 Green Dr.420? I like you already. Welcome aboard.

Seems nobody talks about "dirty landing counters". I have a cooking patio that is shared between my cookers and my table saw. The table saw is covered with galvanized sheet metal, and this is where all the dirty / hot stuff lands. Otherwise my outdoor cooking counters are corian.

I use my Weber kettle as a landing pad for my plate setter and grate.

I've got a weber kettle that I've never even cooked on. It is where I light and store my chimney starter and supplies.

@DoubleEgger will that hold a plate setter or pizza stone?

Yes both

I have both the Grate Rack and the Grid Lifter, but more often than not my grate lands on a glazed terra-cotta pot that I bought at the grocery store, end-of-season, for $15. Hot daisy wheels and Small grids get set down inside, too.

Just hang it on the hooks under the eggmates assuming you have them.

I call this my "staging table" made for the very purpose of where to place a hot grate. Being metal covering wood it won't burn and is easy to clean. The real advantage is being able to work with my food such as flipping multiple wings etc without leaving my dome open thus letting the fire get out of control!

Thanks! I used to get frustrated leaving my dome open while working with multiple items and this solves that issue. BTW that's merely aluminum flashing bent over a frame of wood with a solid wood piece under that top to make it stable.

@RRP - Ron, I think I am going to build something like this! Great idea!

bgebrent · November 2015

Can I order on of those like my Rutlands @RRP?

LOL - no, but I'll be glad to give you measurements and some more pictures and hints.

Thanks! Just be sure to use metal drawer pulls at the front so that you have a stop to push against like this:

I have a metal table with a mesh top next to my egg. I just set it on top of that.

I use an Alera 3-Tier Wire Rolling Cart that I got at COSTCO. It's 16"x24" so the grates overhang the side a little, but a HOT grate doesn't hurt it. And there's storage space for other gizmos & tools.
