DennisLinkletter Posted August 23, 2010 Report Posted August 23, 2010 Going back thru and reading some old posts, I found FM's request for a hot grill hanger.. How's this look guys? One Grill hung.. Two grills hung.. Three grills hung.. (Note the fit and finish of the rod ends on the grills;-)
Firemonkey Posted August 23, 2010 Report Posted August 23, 2010 Sweet! IN the pictures, are they attached to the bolt design that has the bolts out away from the side of the grill?
lee grabowski Posted August 23, 2010 Report Posted August 23, 2010 This will be a very welcome addition to the grill, I have melted one carpet & burned one wooden table.
tlinder Posted August 23, 2010 Report Posted August 23, 2010 Re: Side Accessory Plate Grill Hangers I'm really amazed how well you can fulfill even needs only our subconscious knew about. That's exactly what is missing on my grill! Hope it works also with the classic.
tnt Posted August 24, 2010 Report Posted August 24, 2010 very useful could I use it all the time..... Tony
primeats Posted August 24, 2010 Report Posted August 24, 2010 You may have made your side tables obsolete! Oh and by the way...dammit Dennis stop it! Before you know it these things will be brushing our teeth for us! Seriously, I think you're either channeling N. Tesla or you've been eating too many ship worms!
DennisLinkletter Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Posted August 24, 2010 Sweet! IN the pictures' date=' are they attached to the bolt design that has the bolts out away from the side of the grill?[/quote'] They are attached to the new short bolts...
Firemonkey Posted August 24, 2010 Report Posted August 24, 2010 Can the longer bolts be shortened without too much trouble, and if they are shortened, what will I be giving up? I can't remember why they were extended, but if they are no longer made so long, I'm guessing they don't need to stay that long, right? I've been hanging a grate on the bolts themselves when I needed to, but I would much rather have a hanger that held multiple grills and shorter bolts.
Fetzervalve Posted August 25, 2010 Report Posted August 25, 2010 I suppose you think the new plate is more elegant than this...
slu Posted August 25, 2010 Report Posted August 25, 2010 I'm pretty clumsy... Is there anything to keep the grills from pivoting into the body of the KK?
Fetzervalve Posted August 25, 2010 Report Posted August 25, 2010 Is the spacing of the posts such that the grills can be hung from their side? (will the posts go between the grill rods) I find it easy to lift the grill out, let the the left side down and hang it from the "side" of the grill - it can all be done from the front of the KK. Hanging the grill from it's "back" will likely require moving yourself to the side to hang it. (especially if it's hot)
Loquitur Posted September 3, 2010 Report Posted September 3, 2010 Are these grill hangers for sale yet?
Roland-B Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 Re: Side Accessory Plate Grill Hangers Only about a year late here,sorry but I don't like them,wouldn't buy them, need something independant to put the goodies on,not hanging from the grill,at least not my grill. A quick fix usually isn't the best,
DennisLinkletter Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Posted September 7, 2011 Re: Side Accessory Plate Grill Hangers Heylo Roland, I'm assuming you don't like them from an aesthetic point of view because from a utilitarian point of view they are great.. I just began including them in all KK's sold because I love mine sooo much. I can stand in front of my grill, grab the HOT main grill and hang it on the left side of the KK without moving my feet. Can't imagine a better way to do a reverse sear. We are playing with putting some kind of hanger under side tables too. Yes the rods hang on the outside rod of the grills, the grills usually do not touch the body.. I don't use the rack for storage but love it for a place to put a hot greasy grill.. I have a bunch now in ready stock CA.. Like always I don't even know if we did a costing for these..
Firemonkey Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 Re: Side Accessory Plate Grill Hangers (watching mailbox) I was the one who kept asking for these, and I don't even have one!
Smoke Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 Re: Side Accessory Plate Grill Hangers Sign me up; I'll take two! This is a fabulous idea. Dana
MadMedik Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 Re: Side Accessory Plate Grill Hangers Dennis, these are conceptionally great. However, what if you have side tables already mounted on the grill. Can you still have the hanging device and the side tables. I find the need to use something like this when prepping my KK for a cook...such as loading new coals or cleaning up a bit. However, to hang on these for an extended period of time would not be ideal. I like the look of my KK without grills hanging from it. One of my biggest challenges has been what to do with the darn grills between cooks or when all are not needed. Once they are used a bit, they are dirty, greasy, and always put stains on the wall when i lean against them or on the ground/cement when i lay them down. My wife doesn't like either. I have searched the internet for such grill holders and have yet to find anything. The closest i have found are Wreath Hanger Stands that one would put out at your front door during the holidays and hang a wreath. While good for wreaths, i don't think they would withstand heavy grills, certain not 2 , or even 3 at one time. Optimally, a detached grill hanger would be best. Perhaps even something on wheels, and throw in a few extra smaller hooks to hang basting tools, grill floss, salt and pepper shakers, and the like....and you would have a great thing. I saw a bbq device that could attach via a clamp to a table or KK side table, that had places to put tools, even a paper towel rack... If the upper portion were for accessories, the lower portion could hold up to 3 racks and it were on wheels...then you got a winner... just a thought....
