Update: KAMaster has updated their product description, so you know how to ensure it will fit your cast iron grate. Mine was likely aftermarket and the lifter did not fit between the ribs. If you don't have one of those listed grates, now you know to measure the width between ribs for fit. 5 stars for prompt attention and a good product!Short version: Yes, I would recommend this grate lifter, with a caveat. It is well-made and sturdy. However, be certain that you have one of the grates listed or that the openings of your grates are at least 3/8" wide.The product descriptions says "This grate tool fit for most heavy-duty cast iron grate, like Green Grill Egg,Kamado Grill,Primo,Pit Boss,Louisiana and other kamado grill grate. It's a best companion for cast iron grate." It seemed that it should work with the cast iron grate on my Big Green Egg..However, I purchased my current Big Green Egg from an individual who had been an avid BGE chef for many years. It came with many accessories including a cast iron grill grate. Whether it was original BGE or after market, I do not know, but it was a cast iron grate that fit the fit as the regular BGE grate.Unfortunately, the slots on this grate are just over 1/4" wide, but this lifter is just under 3/8" and doesn't fit. It will only squeeze through the triangular ones at the very ends of the crossmember. This makes it impossible to use as the product images demonstrate. While lifting it from one side is not too difficult, replacing it is much more difficult. I may try grinding to enlarge a slot in grate.So yes, I can recommend this grate lifter, if your grate has at least 3/8" gaps. It would have been good for the seller to advise "To confirm that your cast iron grate will work with the lifter, measure the gap between grate bars to ensure they are at least 3/8" wide."Although it is 5 stars (if it worked), -1 because it didn't, and -1 because there was no warning or way to know if it would work... so 3 stars.

Nice cast iron lifter with rubber over cast handle. Works as intended.

Very well made and heavy duty. Only that could improve would be more surface area to steady the grate. Unless you are dead in the middle, a heavy grate will want to tip to one side. I’d recommend 2 of them.

Full disclosure: The cast iron grate for my Lg BGE is almost ten years old. It’s clean, but spaces were a little narrow for the tool to fit. No worries—a little work with a file and the new lifter fits like a glove! WAY more stable way to lift than the original BGE cast iron grate lifter—grate can’t turn and drop accidentally (cause of death for my first cast iron grate). Love it.

Feels solid in your hands. Easy to use and worth the money that I spent on it. It works well with the grates on my grill. I wish I had bought it a long time ago.

This is too short for a 22 inch cast iron grate. I use it as a guide for my heavy lifter
