I have several grates and am looking for ideas on how to store them to protect them from the elements and keep them handy for use.  I'd appreciate you sharing any solutions you have come up with.

    All of my grates get stored, in the grill.

    Grates in the grill, never come out, spare or extra cooking grids in the other kamado or the old gasser.I do have an outdoor cupboard and there is room to store a grid or two in it, however due to the cooking mung and bits of crap and baked on gunk on the grid, storing in the gasser is the preferred option.

    If they are Stainless Steel, they get stored on the shelves or racks of the egg or the table.  Ones that are not stainless get to come inside once they cool down.

    I have the grate that came with a large, cast iron grate, adjustable rig with several grates, spider, stone, half stone, half grates, etc.  Too many to fit into the egg and store, plus I need some place to keep them while doing a cook or the grill is cooling off.  So, I'm really looking for ideas on storage outside of the egg.

    This might help.....  I am planning on a covered table so I can have some shade on my southern-exposure deck.  The legs that go overhead will be steel poles that attach to a pergola-type structure.  I plan on having hooks or something similar that I can hand those hot grates on.

    I use a simple deck box to store extra grids along with wood chips/chunks, bbq tools, etc. They work okay but deck boxes aren't that easy to organize. Basically if I am looking for something on the bottom you have to drag everything out to find it. I was thinking I might get something like this sometime:

    You can add shelves and hooks. 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I use a plastic wreath storage box that I got on clearance at target.  Large round shape is pretty conducive for grate storage.

    Plastic deck box.  It's not neat or organized but everything gets thrown in there and for 20 bucks it was hard to beat.  My gas grill also is a secondary storage container for my egg
