Hi ndg_2000
Thanks for the reply. The plate sits quite nicely with space round the bottom half. I haven't fired up the bbq yet, but will take a pic when I do.
Ok I brought this bbq at Lidl for £39.99. I also brought an enamel dish (£7.99 for two) which the smaller one fitted perfectly, pushed up to the top with space underneath. Any thoughts about enamel being tough enough?
