warped grate

[Megunticook]

Finally ordered a new grate for my 22 year-old Encore 2550. It's pretty warped, been that way for several seasons, and this year I noticed a crack forming right in the middle. Anybody else experience this? Overfired perhaps, although I keep pretty close tabs on it with a probe thermometer just below the cat. plus a griddle top thermometer.

Just age, nothing you likely did. This part sees the most heat. They don't last forever.
With the new part you can look forward to Grate Expectations.

Great now my knee is sore from slapping the heck out of it.

Don't think I can top that.

I guess if I get 22 years out of this one too I'll be in grate shape.
