Know before you buy
Yes, this grate is designed to fit standard 22-inch kettle-style charcoal grills. Its universal sizing makes it a direct replacement for most major brands.
304 stainless steel is significantly more durable and resistant to rust than standard chrome-plated or nickel-plated steel. Because it is a high-grade, non-corrosive material, it will not flake or peel over time, ensuring a cleaner cooking surface for years.
The integrated handles are built for easy maneuvering, but they will get hot during use. We recommend using heat-resistant grill gloves or tongs when adjusting the grate while the grill is lit.
Because of the high-quality stainless steel construction, cleaning is straightforward. You can simply brush off debris while the grate is warm or use a damp cloth to wipe it down after it has cooled; it is also durable enough to handle more intensive scrubbing if needed.
The 7-gauge construction and 5/16-inch rods provide excellent heat retention and stability. This mass helps maintain more consistent temperatures across the cooking surface, which promotes more even searing and cooking results compared to thinner, standard grates.
