If I buy Grill Grates, do I need to throw my Hovergrill away? Do they work together?
I have a Hovergrill for my Weber Kettle 22" and it is the best. Lets me cook for a larger number of people with no waiting. I'm considering buying Grill Grates, but I see they replace the grill that comes with the unit. What about the Hovergrill? Is it compatible? Is it going to mess things up by cooking two wildly different ways? Is there a Grill Grate product that is like a Hovergrill and allows more to fit on one standard Weber? Anyone have any experience with this?

It should be nicely compatible. The Hovergrill, as you know, increases capacity 3.5" up. There you're in the convection zone, not affected by the conduction properties of meat on the GrillGrates vs standard grates, so it would work just fine with GrillGrates down below. Assuming you have the properly sized GrillGrates for your kettle, so the Hovergrill's legs have something to sit on. -
If you are worried about the Grill Grates, you could leave them off when using the Hovergrill.Comment

GrillGrates don't replace the standard grate, they sit on top of it.Comment

Technically they do either, that's why they started custom-cutting the lengths to fit in the stock grate spots. But you're definitely right in that they don't have to replace them completely.Originally posted by Mosca View PostComment

In my kettle, they don't seem to replace the stock grate very well. I just sit them on top when I need them, then remove them if I need to use the hovergrill.Last edited by Stoney; October 12, 2016, 01:52 PM.
