Has anyone found a solution to the standard wheel castors on Spirit and Genesis Grills? They do no work well with brick paver lanai's. Looking for a solution with larger wheels. Dan W
Hey Bill,I ordered new casters from our local industrial supply store, waiting for them to come in for my Summit Platinum. I’ll let you know how they work.
If you've got a local Harbor Freight, they usually stock a bunch of different ones.Has anyone found a solution to the standard wheel castors on Spirit and Genesis Grills? They do no work well with brick paver lanai's. Looking for a solution with larger wheels. Dan W
Yes, they aren’t near sturdy enough for a 300 lb grill. Lol. The insert rods bent like a pretzel after several moves.Hey Bill,
Did you ever get those other casters on the grill?
Pics?
THX!

My new E-325s has four 3" swivel casters with hard plastic wheels. Horrible on pavers.Are these new/recent models with 2 fixed large wheels? If so, if you're planning to replace both the fixed and caster wheels, verify that the distance of the leg end to the ground is equal on both ends. And if you're only replacing the casters, make sure the total caster height is the same as the originals. You want your grill surface to remain level.
Is your grill still level with those wheels?

A set of half decent casters on the left would be nice. I even added some casters to the left side of my Q320 so it would roll better when dragging around by the shelf as you have to do on the Spirit. You have a gas line in your shed?It wouldn't be if I parked it on a nice cement slab
But considering my "Grill Space" is old pavers and dirt - it's not hard to get it leveled out for grillin'. The wheels end may be like, 1" higher than stock.
I keep the grill parked in the shed, and roll it out for cooking. I only have to go like 10", but those wheels make a huge difference when dragging the thing over the slightly rough terrain.
