Cook stove grate to slick!!

The gas cook stove grate in our AF is so slick that the pans will slide of and onto the floor like they were on ice.
Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks
John
  • I had the same problem with a Coleman campstove. I roughed up the grate with a coarse file and that mostly fixed it.

    Well, quit hitting the pans and maybe they'll stay be place.
  • My Weber has a 1" lip around the grate. Works great!
  • I have the VERY same problem in our 2009 AF 811.

    We used to have an older set of cookware. Roughed up aluminum stuff. Last year, we were given a full set of Calphalon (sp?), nearly new condition. So we donated the old aluminum set. First trip out with the new stuff, I dang near lost a pot of spaghetti sauce onto the floor about half dozen times. I soooo regret my decision to donate that old set. Definitely wish I had it back.

    There's no way I'm roughing up the grate on my camper. I tried hitting the bottom of the pans with various grits of sandpaper but haven't had much success. Calphalon has got to go. Looking for an older set again.
