New Upper Cooking Grate for My EX6


 
What features are you guys looking for when purchasing new grates? Better sear marks, easier clean-up?

I am particularly interested in GrillGrates - https://www.grillgrate.com/ particularly to help vaporize some of the juices on some meats like hamburgers to further reduce flare-ups. Anodized aluminum so no rust and supposedly provides excellent grill marks. Grill clean-up seems fairly easy.

I was looking for a bigger stronger top grate so I can throw a big old brisket on it.
I have the stainless GBS grates and cast iron grates for the bottom, I love those.

and I just want to be like Lew when I grow up!👍🏻

My Masterbuilt 560 has cast iron lower grates, which are good enough. But you would not believe the cheap crap they threw in for upper grates.

And I wanted a good stable upper grate to cook on , partly so I could put a drip pan on the lower grate .... and partly because there were fewer hot spots on the upper grate when I ran biscuit tests. Temps were more stable.

I like the idea of a stronger grate for the heavier briskets...
