Cast Iron grates for 18.5/22.5"

[Jeff Kolodziejski]

Does anyone have any experience with, or own this particular model of CI grate? I know, I know...its Charbroil, but its only 29.95 and its a cool design that works with either size kettle grill. 18.5 or 22.5. If you have both size grills, even better cause your covered both ways. Any opinions on this would be great.

So far, I think that's the best option I've seen. There are a couple of other threads on CI grates. Most are on the four piece one (can't think of the name at the moment) but it seems most people are a bit disappointed for one reason or another. For $30, this is worth a shot. I also like the idea that you can still put your chimney on the coal grate by removing the middle section. That's one of the big issues with the 4 piece pie shaped style grates. The grill marks might look a bit funny if you're a real tradiionalist, but it doesn't bother me at all.

I would be interested as well. I noticed they are porcelain coated... No rust issues.

I was going to post the exact same question, Jeff.

They look like they would work just fine. I like the idea of the griddle section on the Craycort 4-piece design. It is a great way to simulate a plancha.... But, for the price, I could buy a separate cast iron plate.

Please post if anybody buys this thing.... Pics too!

There's been an ongoing parallel discussion on CI grates Over Here

I've got one of those Char-broil grates on the way. I'll do a report when it gets here.

 

[Jeff Kolodziejski]

I had heard they were on back order or temporarily unavailable. Let me know when it arrives and maybe post some pics of it. Its porcelin coated too right?

Jeff,

It's supposed to be here tomorrow. If it comes, I'll take pics of the cook and post a review.
