WeberQ 1200 Grate Lifter

[Richard Garcia]

Will this work to lift the hot grate or is there something better?

I generally use a garden trowel but, not sure how that would fit on a Q. The grate is a little different design from basic rod style.

I use gloves on my Q2200 to move cold grates. I don't move hot grates unless I have to.
Something like this?

I use 2 Harbor Freight 45deg bent nose long reach pliers. more versatile than a garden trowel. An accessory I use every grill session.

Walmart also carries them $5.94.

@Richard Garcia just judging by the picture those look like they could be too thick. You may have found some other utensil but do you happen to have some pigtail flippers?

I agree with Tim. A cheap garden hand rake, bend the tines to fit the grate, done.
