Pullout grate

[Chriz]

I see some smokers have a grate that slides out.
Why would one want this?
Looking for ideas

Makes it easier to load and unload your meat.

And easier to clean out the grease in the bottom of the CC.

If you do use pull out grates, I suggest putting grate hanging hooks on the back of your pit to keep them off your deck/driveway/garage floor when you remove them. Keeps the grease off your floors.

Thanks for the tips!

The slide outs are a necessity- especially on deeper pits. Just make sure you put a ‘anti-tip’ bracket on the rack.
