Best Lifting Handle for Craycort Cast Iron Grate Deals

Customer Ratings:

The product is just ok, nothing to write home about. Item arrived with chipped paint so not sure how durable its going to be in the long term. I was a little disappointed in the size, it is a little too narrow to completely keep the grate from moving from side to side while removing it from the kettle. Otherwise it does what it's supposed to do. Would have been worth $10 if I bought it locally but once shipping was added in, I don't feel it was worth the $18 I paid.

Now, about the shipping, and this is not reflected in the stars I gave this product. The three stars I gave this item here is for the item itself and not the seller, but there were not enough characters available in the seller review for me to include my experience so I'm including it here. With all that said, the first package I received was empty. The seller sent this in a small bubble wrapped envelope that tore open at the top and apparently the item fell out at some point during shipping. I was charged $8 for shipping and when I went to the USPS site to check what the shipping should be, the shipping costs were estimated at only $3. With that extra $5, the company could have sprung for a small box or something. They did ship a replacement almost immediately once I notified them, which was nice, but they sent the second one to me in a slightly larger bubble wrapped envelope that also arrived with a tear in it. Luckily, this one didn't fall out of the opening, but you are shipping a heavy piece of metal for crying out loud... package it appropriately. The item also arrived with chipped paint, which was probably due to the poor packaging. Anyway, I give them kudos for replacing it quickly, but it really could have been avoided all together if they would have taken a little time and effort to properly package it for shipping.

This tool is quite necessary if you buy the Craycort cast iron grate because you need a way to lift the grate sections to add or move coals. I think the item is a bit over priced for what it is and, in fact, just last week I found a beautiful old one in an antique store for $2.50. These were used a century ago when women cooked on wood stoves and needed a way to lift the burners--same exact thing. I think that one could find a much cheaper (and prettier) substitute at a flea market or antique shop but that said, having a tool like this is definitely a MUST with a cast iron grill.

It may seem pricey at first glance but it is well worth what you pay for it! It holds the grates steady when you move them and, if you really want to get fancy, I use mine to leverage caps off my beer bottles as I grill.

Honest reviews on Lifting Handle for Craycort Cast Iron Grate

Simple straightforward device. Hook it into the grate and lift. It slides between the bars pretty easily and its stable during the carry. Not much side to side sway and I am able to drop the grate back into the pit without much fanfare. This sure beats the tongs and forks I used on my old grill.

Happy with this product.

The handle could be longer and a leather loop for hanging would be nice but this is a must have if you purchase the round cast iron grate quarters. You'll find just which grates to lift from for perfect balance.
