I can understand why they did that.  If the grate went over the burner, it would discolor it.  Maybe we need to have rally Ben to make some more.

Subject: Re: stove insert

got mine from Condelli.  Thin sheet metal, warped from the heat of the
burner, but still usable.  Better than the stove grate.  A trivet like used
to put a glass pot on a stove burner should work, they're available from
home supply companies, perhaps Bed, Bath, and Beyond.  Always seemed like
the regular grate was poorly designed.  I guess Westphalia is at fault for
that.
