saw this guy on Facepalm today. Kind of pricey for what they are but cheaper than a woo or AR setup if you are just looking to raise the grid

Sorry but inexpensive for me is a family staple-aluminum canned beers. Pound 3 and don't recycle-raised grid is good to go. Just balance well or get another grid. FWIWEdit: I don't do faceplant.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

I didn't check the price, but that idea/solution had been around the original BGE forum for many years. I had made a bunch of them years ago using cheap hollow aluminum stock and gave away many sets. No power tools needed to make, but if you have a band saw aluminum cuts like a hot knife through butter!

Of course, I added added the extender and sliding grid to make it a cool hundo.

The cost of buying CGS accessories is a drop in the bucket when you consider how long they will last and how much use you will get out of them. After buying an AR combo with extender I found myself using the egg a lot more so I’d say it is worth it compared to just making or buying a single use/function grid raiser.

I've been thinking of raising the grate, but am not sure I'm good enough with the spatula to not push a burger over the side!

Mission accomplished. Fits nice and sturdy on XL but too snug on Large due to thick gauge and wide straight side of scrap tube and limited play around the fire ring, don't want to force it. Narrowing the leg may help though.

Pretty cool. Reminds me of these I bought about ten years ago for my small egg:

i think think they are pretty rusted up somewhere in a shed now. -

@littlerascal56 appreciate the heads up. There have been many debates here over the years re galvanised carriage bolts/nuts used for grate elevation. Wish there's a definitive answer. Where is stikecanuckland
