The reason the Weber flip up grate would catch is because the handles were welded on with a straight bend, compared to 90 bend. ( like yours )

A hack was to grind them flush.
Curious, if you " perfected it " why change?
Bored or looking for something different?

Lumberjack from Farm & Fleet.
On my EX6 I've used it for Canadian bacon and jerky.
I use a comp blend of pellets and notice a difference.
There are pellet brands that can give you more char flavor.
We used to use a heat gun and a robust plastic scraper like this.

Used that on metal panels to clean decals, plastic mastic, caulk etc.
If heat got it on , it should help to remove it.
