Been using for 2 years. Great product and very sturdy. Adds more room, for sure. I keep older racks as shelves to put food on top, like when cooking Jerky. I would recommend.
If these were stainless I would buy them. Have had way too much experience with steel racks and rust. Not a problem if you live in the desert but central Texas is humid..Great idea though
Haven’t looked into it yet. The prime plus comes with “upgraded” materials, so don’t feel the need to upgrade...yet. I’m actually still waiting on my damn rotisserie, GMG has been way behind on the supply chain.
The bracket will in fact interfere with the rotisserie, we have a new design that should be releasing at the beginning of 2021 that will solve this issue.
Thanks for reply. Here in Oklahoma, I have access to Cookin, knottywood, lumberjack. These are my top 3 go too. I just seen B&B pellets at a local store but never tried them. So far the 3 mentioned work best in my pitts and Spitts..
Are you a custom fabricator? Reason I ask is I like Pit Boss grills. I do not like the slide and sear drip pan/shield. I was wondering if some one could make a plain, flat stainless drip pan.
Eddie, we haven’t designed it to fit the downdraft specifically, but plenty of people have used the two together. Most work in the standard configuration, one person had to add a washer to shim the bracket out.
@@TheBBQHQ Anything we could do to get that done. Im really interested in the rack and adding it to my JB. Im just not a metal fab guy and really need a plug and play type of situation.
@@TheBBQHQ The godke downdraft adds at least a 1/2 inch i think to the exhaust side of the GMG JB. i dont doubt what your saying. Im just a little weary that a washer will keep that nice and super secure. that is unless the screws are really long. Am I looking at this the wrong way?
Eddie Wright BBQ yes. The bolts are long enough. You’d simply add a washer, if needed, On the inside of grill between the bracket and the grill. Then proceed as normal.
Hi, great idea for these grates, will they work with the Jim Bowie Prime Plus which has a rotisserie opening each end, or do the brackets for your grates get in the way of where the rotisserie rod would need to slide in?
The bracket will in fact interfere with the rotisserie, we have a new design that should be releasing at the beginning of 2021 that will solve this issue.
@@TheBBQHQ thankyou. Another method we could use is take out the top shelf and remove shelf brackets when we want to use the rotisserie, then screw the brackets back on and slide the shelf in after using the rotisserie. This would work wouldn't it?
I wish someone would make that with legs not a shelf with c channels with legs so it’s removable and enough room for a aluminum drip Pan to slide under
The sear station will give you a better overall sear due to the fact it will disperse heat evenly across the whole surface of the kit. But as and overall permanent solution we do find these a better fit.
@@TheBBQHQ Except when I emailed them they said "it will void your warranty, but we will still do what we can to help". Don't get me wrong this product looks amazing, but I think honesty is the best policy here. I'll be waiting to purchase and install it until my warranty is up.
Thanks for the reply. I think with the brackets being offset from the side of the smoker it just might have enough clearance to fit with the downdraft.
Mike H did you get one of he kits and a downdraft? I’m wanting to purchase both but would like to know before I spend all the money. Looks like a great set of grates
If you have the pizza attachment for the GMG Daniel Boone or Jim Bowie. Will not have any issue with adding this upgrade. Just need to take the grill grates out to fit the pizza attachment.
Just burn the new/raw surface off then run something greasy or even coat with lard and smoke it. With regular use they should build a typical brown/black smoke coating that will protect the steel.
It actually does void your warranty. I contacted GMG directly and their exact words were as follows: Hello, Any modification on the grill itself will void your warranty, but we will still do all that we can to take care of you even if you install these in your grill. GMG
@@TheBBQHQ does the latest version not require drilling? I still have warranty left on my Daniel Boone and GMG said these are fine as long as there's no drilling, but the video clearly requires drilling...unless that's specific to the Jim Bowie
Contrary to what this company says, installing this kit on your GMG grill will void your warranty but GMG will still work with you. I contacted GMG directly asking them if installing this kit on the grill will void the warranty and their exact words are below. With that said, I will still be installing these on my GMG JB Prime when I get it because they're so much better than the stock grates. Hello, Any modification on the grill itself will void your warranty, but we will still do all that we can to take care of you even if you install these in your grill. GMG
