Subject:Rattling stove grate revisited
From:David Brodbeck

While on a camping trip this weekend I finally figured out how to get my
stove grate to stop rattling.  I noticed the problem was, with the center
supports snapped in place, the metal 'feet' and the ends were slightly
above the stove surface.  I took the grate off and bent it *very* slightly
over my knee, so the middle was slightly higher than the ends.  Snapped it
back in and the feet are now firmly against the stovetop, which means no
more rattle.

Now if I could just figure out what the PO did with my dish drainer.  I
have the attachment points for it, but it's nowhere to be found...
