Canada_Mike Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I'm a newbie and in Mexico. Immediately after curing my grate, it slipped out of my hand and broke into five pieces. Char-Griller will send me a $20 replacement, but it will cost me $46 for shipping. Before I commit, are there any aftermarket grates that will fit the JR and might be sturdier. From what I've read the Akorn grates break if you look at them wrong. TIA Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoovD Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Welcome to KG. I use a Weber Smokey Joe grate in my Jr. It fits on the tabs but cannot sit down on the firebox. Cheap and readily available around me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada_Mike Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Thanks very much, SmoovD. I was looking around at some other posts and saw it mentioned, so it's already ordered. I also sent a query to Michael''s Custom Grills. I'm also wondering if the Weber Sear Grate might sit on the lower tabs. Cheers, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoovD Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Michael's CG produces outstanding grates. I have one in my Akorn. Thing is built like a tank. It will likely outlive me. Canada_Mike and retfr8flyr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada_Mike Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 I haven't heard back yet, but will likely wait till I'm back in Canada to save on the shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
