I just bought this cast iron grate for my 22" Weber kettle. I haven't used it yet as you can see.....I just dropped it in the kettle to see how it looks :D
I'll cook on it this week. :D

BTW, did you do that broken tile work surface that your Webber is set into? That is amazing looking. Could you post a pic of the whole set-up? I would love to see it.

I started a thread on this very table project a couple of weeks ago. The table is not 100% finished. I still need to build a simple lid holder at the end of the table and a corner shelf at the opposite corner of the table. When complete, I will post more photos. :))

Here's the table project thread:

Neat. Something new for the grill.
I had a gasser once with a CI grate. I don't think I ever did get it seasoned properly. And I could never get decent sear marks, but I never did like that grill either...

Give us a report after a few cookouts, Food.

Thanks for the link, Food! Your setup is fantastic looking! The structure looks like it will be around 100 years from now - well done! You really should submit those pics to a DIY magazine or something. It looks like a very high-end custom piece!

Thank you FM. I tend to over-engineer whatever I build. Besides, the table was designed to hold a load of bricks on top so I used 4x and 6x timber for the main frame.

I'm pretty much done with the kettle table for now. All it needs is a lid holder on the left side. I still have a few ideas floating around in my head for that.
The fire-walled bricks are not secured or mortared. When I'm sure that's the layout I like I will secure them with landscape block adhesive which will keep them reasonably secure, but not permanent.
