That's my goal for my keeper grills.Thanks fellas. If they last as long as the original parts...well, let's just say they would likely out live me.![]()

Jim, I bought a pair each of two different sets of SS rod grates during Prime days. One of the brands had the cross member rods too far out towards the end. One of the cross members had to sit up on top of the shelf. If they had been 1/8" further in, they would have been fine. As long as that doesn't happen, I think any reasonable distance from the end is fine.So here is a question that I always have when I look at rod grates.....
The bottom cross rods at the near and far ends of the grates - I see some of them a good 1"+ in from the end, some less than that and some right at the edge that actually sit on the grate 'shelf'..... Where should it be? I know I've picked up at least one grill with the cross bars right at the edge and the grates would tend to 'fall into' the box - just NOT a stable setting for the grates. Wondering what is less stress for the weld joints between them all...... yeah, I know it won't matter for good 'quality' grates, but you won't know that for 5-10+ years. The same reasoning/concerns go for the C channel steel/SS grates.
So many of the ads on amazon have conflicting pics when you look at them....
Do you think it makes any real world functional difference?Jim, I bought a pair each of two different sets of SS rod grates during Prime days.

I think you can see what I mean here. The rear crossmember of these grates is actually up on the berm and the main rods are not touching the berm.

These are the other set of grates and you can see the difference

Wow..... thats a requirement I've never required from my grates......I like dropping my cooking grates flat on the concrete to cleen them off, none of my grate welds have ever broke yet.
I know you guys know what I'm talking about.
I wonder if these grates would hold up over timeusing my same method ?
I have ACTUALLY COOKED on 9mm grates so I guess lucky for me I met your requirements lol.And I will say too that I think it SHOULD be a requirement that Josh actually COOKS on a 9mm grate before he recommends them......
