Nice job on the grill blocks! It looks factory. I did some experimenting using pieces of pipe insulation (available in various sizes at any hardware store) split and stuffed over the factory grill bars. That way if you are running too warm it is a 5 second fix to open up more of the grill and you don't have to take a knife to your good grill blocks.
