Broil King Grid Lifter — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Broil King Grid Lifter?
The Broil King Grid Lifter is a stainless steel tool with a resin handle that helps you safely remove hot or greasy cooking grids (both cast iron and stainless) from your grill. It’s designed to make swapping or cleaning grates easier and less dangerous.
How does it work with both cast and stainless grids?
The head has dual tines (prongs) — one tine is shaped for cast iron grids, and another for stainless or rod-style grills. You slide the corresponding tine under the grate and twist slightly to lift it.
What materials and construction does it have?
The lifter is made with a stainless steel head and a resin (heat-resistant plastic) handle to provide grip and some thermal insulation.
What grills or grate types is it compatible with?
While designed for Broil King grills (both cast and stainless cooking grids), it works with many standard grills as long as the grate slots or edges match the tine spacing. It’s useful when you want to lift grates for adding a griddle, cleaning, or repositioning.
Any known issues or user tips?
Some users note the resin handle can be a little brittle if dropped. It’s best to insert it carefully and use smooth motion to avoid stressing the plastic parts.
