Thanks jfmorris !
This Morris ordered several varieties, which I will haveta custom to what I got fer cookers.
Minus my labor, I will be equippin 5 cookers fer ~ th price fer a single 22" set.
Nice that I have th facilities to process sizes/shapes at work. Fringe benefit, sez I!
Good deal! I’ll be helping a friend cut off some panels, thankfully one of the sale sizes was the exact length my Dad needed to replace the grates on his Weber gas grill.
Received them today, wouldn’t have known they were seconds. Very Minor nicks and scratches, could have been easily been blamed on shipping.Great company! I’m using them right now!
jfmorris can you tell me about cutting these. I have some from my last gasser, and they are just a little too long, like 1/2 in. I think they are aluminum?
If not cooking outdoors, I am cooking on the stovetop with my 14" carbon steel wok, 12" CI skillet, or in the oven with my two Lodge CI pizza pans, or two dutch ovens. I've also got a nifty Lodge carbon steel grill pan that rocks for veggies outdoors.
My plan on cutting the ones I got for my son and future son in law (if they need cutting) is to get a non-ferrous metal blade and put it in my 10" miter saw. One like this:
You cannot cut steel with that blade - but most softer metals like aluminum are fine. One that cuts steel costs a good bit more.
Short of that find out if a friend has a metal cutting saw. I have a friend with a metal blade in his bandsaw, as he does a lot of metal work. I would not want to do it with a hacksaw, but that might be an option. Mark it, maybe put it in an old style miter box as a cutting guide, or even put a metal cutting blade in a 7 1/4" circular saw.
Lol, I was going to comment that's the size I was looking for and they didn't have them, thought maybe they added them and you got to 'em first! Lol, no worries my brother.
My plan is to make a set fer all 4 Weber sizes, plus a firebox set fer both offsets...
again, 17.375", as ya answered whilst I was editin my ineptitudes! Huskee

I received my order of 4 17.3 inch panels yesterday evening. Was very disappointed when I opened the package and discovered that all four were badly bent and dinged on the long edges. There is no way that they can be fit together in this condition. I'm hoping GrillGrates will allow me to return or exchange them even though they were seconds, but won't know until Monday when I can talk to their customer service folks.
This is especially disappointing because I have been a long-time user of their grates and was looking forward to replacing the grates on my Weber with them.
Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

Yikes! On the one hand you expect damage, but on the other hand you still assume they'll be usable as far as connecting them as intended.
Yup, that's what I was hopin fer.
We'll see how this all goes...Mebbe all fixed up, mebbe sadder, but wiser. It's all good.
I ain't riled up at nobody, jus disappointed...
16.25" x 6=A-OK
17.375" x 3= Total Fail, interlock impossible, completely unusable
18.25" x 6= 1 corner interlock dinger, will either be cut off, or utilized on outer edge.
Jon Solberg I have th utmost deep respect fer yer opinion, an I don't say that fer many that walk this Earth!
In my eyes, I reckon th best way to destroy em is cook on em til they expire...
Alternately, ya could send em to me, to replace my unusable 17.375"s
If consensus prevails t'wards a more demonstrative, destructive annhilation, then, please, Brother, shoot some vid fer us! I'm all in; usedta be my Job.
No grill marks fer me, here; I want th smooth side fer veggies, small stuff, vs usin mats or baskets, etc.
Worth a try, mebbe?
I truly do apologize if somehow I have offended or angered ya, Jon! That wasn't, an never will be my intent.

Sounds like I better open my box of 6 16.25†panels in the garage and see if they are usable. Sorry some folks got bad panels. Hopefully they will make it right.
I just unboxed the 6 16.25" panels and 2 Grate tools I ordered to give to my son and future son-in-law, and all are in grate shape. Only minor scratches or nicks on the back sides of the panels. The tools have unstained wooden handles, unlike the two that came with my full price sets. All in all I think these will serve the purpose well for the boys.
Brad here from GrillGrate- HUSKEE- thanks for letting me know about this thread. We let some product out that should not have shipped. Bent hinges won't mate- I saw a picture from a customer last week. We will make it right for sure! Just call our office 877-380-2527 ask for Tammy or Michael- send them a picture and we'll either replace or refund. We do get damage from shipping bringing GrillGrates to our warehouse- more than I knew! Have a grrrrrate week! Brad
