I’d like to raise my butts and briskets about 2-3 inches off the main grate and was wondering if there are any raised grate options for the 26 inch kettle. I did some searching and struck out.

You could always buy another grate and use some bolts or threaded rod to make legs that rest on your original grate. -
The grate for the 22 has handles which act as "legs" when inverted. So, invert the grate from a 22 (grates can be purchased at most hardware stores if you don't have a 22) and you've accomplished your goal.Comment

Just use a couple bricks and set a second grate on those.Comment

I set my 22" grate (or smaller PBC or Jumbo/Smokey Joe grates) on 3 small wood chunks, but JeffJ has a "grate" idea. Elevating your meat with the SnS is a great thing to do, take advantage of the higher heat up there, then you can run your temps a tad lower and get greater burn time & efficiency.Comment

It may be smaller than you want, but no reason the Hovergrill options for the 22" won't work on a 26" kettle. And others have brought up a cheap option - 22" Weber grate raised up on some blocks of some kind. I think JeffJ has a good idea if you can find one of the non-hinged Weber 22" grates and flip it upside down, but I think just the 2 handles will be "tipsy", and you will still need some additional support points.Comment

jfmorris I've never used a 22 grate in my 26 in this manner. I do have a hover grate for the 22 that I purchased from the Smokenator folks a few years ago. It works well. I recently used a grate from my 14.5 WSM in my Jumbo Joe so I could load it up. It worked well. You are probably right about the 22 grate being tipsy, now that I think about it.Comment
