Know before you buy
The grate is designed to fit most standard 22.5-inch charcoal kettle grills, including models from Weber, Outdoorchef, and Napoleon, as well as large kamado-style grills like the Super Dome. With an actual diameter of 21.4 inches, it is engineered to sit securely within the standard rim of these units.
The system consists of a circular outer ring and four removable cast iron quarters. You can lift out individual sections to add compatible accessories, such as a griddle or pizza stone, without having to remove the entire grate from the grill.
Yes, the grate comes pre-seasoned and is ready for cooking right out of the box. However, like all cast iron, it will perform best and remain non-stick if you continue to season it periodically and keep it well-oiled after each use.
To prevent rust, avoid soaking the grate in water and never put it in the dishwasher. After cleaning, dry it thoroughly and apply a light coating of oil to the surface before storing it in a dry place.
Yes, at 18.8 pounds, this grate is substantially heavier than standard steel wire grates. This added mass is intentional, as it provides superior heat retention and more consistent searing temperatures across the entire cooking surface.
