X-marks Rectangle Cooking Grate

Bought for our fire pit , seems well made. I did season it as directed, it’s large, long and it’s a bit heavy because it’s made so well. I will be buying another one for another property in the summer.

Took it camping and it worked great for cooking! Hopefully we can use it again next summer!

Full disclosure - I ordered this for something besides a fire pit. I have a Char-Griller Gravity 980 smoker and wanted a large removable second shelf to use in it. I ordered the 32" version as the inside of the cooking chamber of the Gravity 980 is just under 36". Once I received the cooking grate I immediately removed the metal handles so it would work for the purposes I wanted. I used four 1/2 x 6" stainless steel carriage bolts for legs (heads down to be used as feet) as well as two stainless steel washers and two nuts for each "leg" to make the shelf usable. I am very happy with how it all worked out.As to the grate itself it is very nice. I like how the grating is flat and not sharp and uneven like many others. The construction is good quality but I wouldn't see this being used heavily for more than a season or two on a fire pit; my usage will be much less intense and it should last a long time. The handles were welded very well as I had to break out a jigsaw to remove them.

I have had this grate for 2 seasons at my camp and I am happy to have purchased this. I was looking for something I could lay over top of my square fire pit and this brand I great because they have different sizes to pick from.I was concerned initially that high temperatures would affect any coating or even the metal itself but it holds up well.We like to cook steaks, bacon, etc on this and it does a great job. The x pattern is also a nice touch when cooking meats.A nice bed of coals is best for cooking on this grate.

I've made 1000s of purchases on Amazon throughout the years and this is the very first review of a product I've ever given.This cooking grate is the worst purchase I've ever made on here. I used it yesterday for the first time and before I even placed a single item of food on it, the paint flecked off. When I removed it from the fire to scrape the loose paint away, the grate twisted when it cooled and now it doesn't sit level across my fire pit. It's like it wasn't designed to be exposed to heat. I have a $60 piece of scrap metal that was brand new just yesterday morning. I don't know what you could use this grate for but it's definitely not made well enough to be cooking over a fire.

Dimensions were right on and the welding in top notch! Very sturdy and the finish on the grate is well applied. Will definitely buy again when I need new racks! Top notch!!!

Warped after first use.

Well made and god value This is my second one

I took this grill out camping for a week and used it directly over the campfire - sometimes with charcoal and sometimes just the over the burning logs and embers. The grill performed extremely well. It is big enough to cover the entire fire pit so you can cook a lot and move the food around to find the hot and cooler spots as needed. The handles were far enough away from the actual fire to stay cool. We cooked chicken wings, steak, peppers and onions for fajitas, pork satay and pork chops, all of them released really well. The grill also cleaned up quite easily. I highly recommend this grill for campfire use.

I used as a shelf and purchased for that reason. I had to cut the handles iff as they are welded on. It is built very well.

It had lots of room to manoeuvre and cleaned up easily

Worked great for our weekend camping trip. I would definitely recommend this for any fire cooking.

**Edit**2 days after my initial cooking, rusted in the middle. Very disappointing. Doesn’t last…See picture, it speaks for itselfCooked perfect chicken over the fire. Nice and sturdy, just need to see how much time it will last but no worries at the horizon
