The tool is designed to hook under grate bars and lift, which works on both gas and charcoal grill grates. Just confirm the hook opening is wide enough to clear your specific grate bar diameter before purchasing.

Its compact dimensions make it easy to store in a kitchen drawer, a wall-mounted hook near the grill station, or inside a BBQ tool bag. Keep it dry between uses to prevent any surface oxidation over time.
