DennisLinkletter Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Re: Total Cooking Surface Area? That's a good question and one I should know the answer to but it's not so easily measured.. Time to tackle this and get back to you.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mguerra Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Re: Total Cooking Surface Area? Dennis, here's an easy way to figure it. Get some thin, easily weighed material that you can cut to the shape of the grills. Cardboard, veneer, sheet acrylic, plywood, sheetrock, sheet metal or anything handy that you can weigh accurately. Cut a one foot square and weigh it. Now weigh the total of your pieces that you cut out to the shape of the grills. You can use any units of weight, pounds, kilos, ounces, whatever. Divide that number by the weight of the one square foot piece. That will be your square feet of grill area. Multiply that number times 144. That is your total square inches of grill. No need to try to massage the usual formulas for circles and rectangles etc. This will be dead on accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisLinkletter Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Re: Total Cooking Surface Area? I'm at the factory and have the cardboard cutouts in hand.. I'll weight them when I get back to Bali.. And finally have an answer to the actual grill sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisLinkletter Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Re: Total Cooking Surface Area? We need to get more MDF... The piece we had was not large enough to do the 19.5" or the new Portable. We'll get them calculated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
