I will just leave this here


 
I wonder how that compares to the horse mat I have from the Tractor Supply store. I used it on the ground for I do not have a deck. I have considered using atop of pavers though. The horse mat runs around $50 last time I bought it.
That's a good price! Those are usually pricey. I think they come in 4'x8' that would be even better for me
 
I narrowed my search down to Husky, Craftsman and The two from Harbor Freight Us General and Yukon. I think any of them would be fine for my use. Just tinkering around in my garage on grills, Vises, woodworking and basically stuff like that but I wanted to get the most for my money so I checked them all out to compare and compared the specs and watched and read reviews. They are all pretty close on price depending on what's on sale. The ones from Harbor Freight were actually better than I expected but I think they fell just a little bit short of Husky in every category but most noticeably the drawers weren't as smooth and didn't have soft close. Also the gage of the metal on the Husky was thicker and heavier. The New Craftsman was pretty from a distance and I have bought a lot of craftsman stuff ever since I was a kid but sadly you are paying for the name and like other companies the name doesn't stand for what it use to. The Craftsman box is a little more expensive and not for good reason. Most notably the drawers are a bit flimsy. Especially the deep bottom drawers that only have 2 drawer slides per drawer instead of 4 like the Husky. Also the wheels on the Craftsman are attached with sheet metal screws instead of being bolted on. That was the deal breaker for the Craftsman and didn't have to look any more. Just thought I'd share my thoughts and opinions on these budget boxes.
 
Question:
Best option for cleaning 3/8 SS grates. Weber 9930s or Dave Santana's custom grates. What's your preference?
Bob recommended this and I believe it was recommended to him by Larry.
I'll probably get this but curious what others use also. I believe Bruce has a similar unit but universal

Been using one of those for years. For sure the best for 9mm and 3/8" SS solid rod grates. It will work great on 7mm grates too.
Quick, easy, effective, durable and no worries about loose bristles.

No I did not recommend it. I'd go nuts trying to clean one bar at a time. My go to is this https://libman.com/products/brass-grill-brush and for added cleaning I'll wet it than brush the bot grates. I've never had a Libman shed a bristle ever. While ones from Charbroil, Weber, and many others shed like long haired dog on a hot day
