Know before you buy
This grate is designed to fit most standard 18-inch kamado-style grills. We recommend measuring your current cooking surface diameter to ensure a proper fit before purchasing.
Yes, this grate is compatible with both kamado and kettle-style grills. Its half-moon shape makes it a versatile addition for creating indirect cooking zones in your kettle.
This grate is not dishwasher safe. To prevent rust and maintain the seasoning, hand wash it with warm water, dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning, and apply a light coat of cooking oil before storing.
The half-moon shape allows you to leave half of your grill open for direct heat or different cooking methods. When paired with the PRO-Zone Cooking System, it enables multi-level cooking, letting you sear on one side while roasting on the other.
Cast iron products typically require an initial seasoning process before their first use. We recommend coating the grate with a high-smoke-point oil and heating it to build a non-stick, protective layer.
