Just found out (with apparently A BUTT LOAD of other folks) that the correct way to have your cast iron grates in your Weber flat side up.

Ohhh for fuck sakes, can’t even put grill fucking grates in right.. Jesus fuck Christ on a pogo stick, how am I an adult.. at this rate I’ll need training wheels to take a piss..
Fucking doesn’t end
🫨ohh nooo anything but that!🫨
This can’t possibly be a thing.
I’m guilty of this , the feet on the corners is what made me realize it.
I’ve done this 😣
I’ll put them any way I want
I switched to the right way earlier today and it’s a game changer. Way better seemed to cook more evenly
Maybe I could’ve gotten better grill marks?
Mine have been upside down for 8 years. Lesson learned.
Y’all didn’t think it was weird that you couldn’t slide a spatula from front to back without hitting those speed bumps?
I recently got a Weber and realized I put the grates upside down after that post earlier today. Good PSA.
Another full grown adult who thought he had life figured out checking in to say i’ve also been living life in the grilling upside down. Thanks for the heads up!! Looking forward to see if I can muster a decent sear finally
Been grilling my entire adult life and I just learned this last year
I have the rounded steel grills.
I was wondering why everything tasted inverted.
I actually thought they were reversible.
I think a lot of the confusion sterns from the fact that only some grates are like that. I have a non-Weber grill, and while my grates are shaped similarly (flat on one side, triangle-ish on the other), it’s clear than on mine the pointy side stays up (pointy side have no “feet”, flat side has seams and isn’t fully smooth).
Helps with cleaning also since it’ll drip most off instead of collecting and burning on
Wait…that…well ok then.
