I want to drill a 13/16" hole in my Weber Jumbo Joe grill cover. Thoughts on this working for that?

Hi Dan. I used it to drill through steel on an old car but it wasn't as thick as a grill top which I am assuming is in steel. If you can get a starter hole going with a drill bit I think this would do the job to expand to 13/16" but it may not be good for much after that. Tony

It ought to work, but this cover is peculiar to models that were made exclusively for Home Depot. I can't say for certain that it would work on every grill that fits your description.

yes.....this drill has a lot of torque. I had no problems drilling 1/4" steel in my back yard repairing a fence.

Don't drill the entire width of the post the same size hole. I used 5/32" dia bit to drill across the post so the .150" dia. galvanize wire can fit trough. Then I used tapped drill bit and drill in about 2" and it will be perfect for the Ferrule to fit in. The bottom of the ferrule is .65" dia. Good luck.

I used a 5/16 drill bit and a 1/8th inch pipe thread tap to get the threads started, do not thread the tap in to deep just about 3 threads that way the hole won't be to big. I am sure their are other ways to do it, this is what works for me.

I wouldn't think so because of the holes. I've just used it on the grill...my second year...I love it.

I use it in a 3/8 inch chuck so it should work in 1/2 inch. My 12 volt battery operated drill does not make many holes on one charge. I use a corded drill when near a source of power. Probably not the safest thing to do since ground is moist.

My GRill is 24" deep so I don't think it would work out for you. Too bad , good quality for the price.

i drilled a 3/4" hole in a lowes food grade bucket and it worked fine, it has not leaked, the gasket that it comes with is somewhat cone shaped so it fit well.

Not really. And, I'm not sure it would touch very much. My grill is two-tiered, with the "work" area not more than 36". If the 51" wide measurement fits your needs, I wouldn't hesitate on this grill cover. Good quality.

The grill I have uses a pin to hold the grill to the pole. You could easily replace the pin with a bolt and nut to secure it to the pole. The hole looks to be ~ 1/4 inch in diamater and it would require a bolt ~3-1/2" to 4" to pass through the grill mount and post. You MAY have to drill the hole out to accept a common bolt (1/4"-5/16") and nut which shouldn't be that difficult. I don't think you would have any trouble securing it. Of course, it could still be detached by using a couple of wrenches to unscrew the nut & bolt. Additionally, you could also add a few drops of Loc-Tight thread sealer which would make it a little harder to remove or even bend the threads up using a hammer and punch. This would make it very difficult (but not impossible) to remove. Best of luck! Geo

Use a 1.25" spade bit to drill a 1.25" hole. The package include a template for locating the hole and mounting screws. I installed it on a steel door using the template. Worked fine.

Dear Charles,We believe this cooking grate should work for your grill, however, we recommend you double check the dimensions 16 7/8 x 27 15/16Thank you

It would be a little small I think. My grill is roughly 50" high and the cover just kisses the ground. Unless depth would be OK mine is almost 24". The width would be tight also. I'm right around 48" and there's maybe 2" of wiggle room that way. I think it would be like making your grill wear a tube top and a mini-skirt! :)

Hi Virginia, I am afraid you have to drill two 1/4 " holes as It calls for in the instructions. Regards, Guenter

I have the 24-hole griller by the same manufacturer. I just checked it, and the holes on my griller are all smoothly ground - no issues at all. I've been very happy with it.

I have the Smokey Joe carry bag, not the cover; they're two different products, unable to help. I also have a cover that drops on, not from Amazon but near 20 years old as my barbecues, and it fits. Not much help, sorry...
