CS dometic stove grate grommet source

Sharon_is_SAM

Does anyone have a cheap source for the 2 black grommets that hold the CS stove grate?  Any creative substitutes?

Nucamp...Elsie, or dometic. Trick isn’t finding the right diameter in silicone....

Ha. No idea. Tried and gave up!

Ours are white, and we have 4 for each grate. 

Keep us posted!

I have found a few things that look like they will work, but maybe too small.  A tatoo machine grommet - who knew!  

Just found this!

I ordered these grommets from Vistaview for a much cheaper price and free shipping.  I will let you know if they fit.  They are rubber - not silicone, so we will see how they hold up.  

Anyone else have problems with their stove grate grommets?

I got some replacements from Elsie. She even sent me some spares!

Sharon_is_SAM

These were perfect!  I will have a few more at uCamp if anyone is in need.

There is supposed to be two?  Huh.  We only ever had one.

Sharon_is_SAM

Yes and with pulling the grate off to clean the stove top they did not hold up over time.

One seems to be sufficient, and might even make the grate easier to remove.

I purchased them cheap at Lowes.  Grommets for sheet metal to string wire through.

@dinzzy, can you find it at Lowe’s online?

dinzzy

Probably.  I just walked intnthe store and went to hardware.

ChanW

@dinzzy, are they rubber or silicone?

Or, I guess I can look myself, I'll be at Home Despot later this morning! Thanks for the heads up!

dinzzy

I think they are rubber.  They have lasted for months...no fires!!

We still have our, but went thru some bumpy roads this last trip and ended up with the stove grate on top of the faucet when we got to our site!  (And we were not off roading!)

Thanks Sharon and others for your info on the petty little item. I spent a half hour waiting and on the phone w Dometic, only to find that they wanted 70$ for 8 of these stupid little pieces of rubber. How obnoxious! 

I’ll try your vista-view cable Rex rubber grommets. Nothing to lose ! 

Take care.

@SolidCamper - ours are still working.  I think I may have shaped one side flat for a better fit.  Good luck!

There is this long and winding thread at this link:

https://tab-rv.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/14260/320-s-cooktop-grommet-replacement/p1

Which points to this product.  But, I would read the thread closely first.
