GrillGrate - 17.375 inch deep by 20.5 inch Wide Interlocking Grill Grates - 4 Panel Set - GrateTool Included - Universal Grilling Accessory for Gas, Charcoal, Pellet, and Kamado Grills, Searing Kit

The GrillGrate is very well made and the panels interlock tightly. However, for my use, the design just doesn't work well. The grate bars are 3/4"+ apart and 3/4" high...meaning vegetables, shrimp and other small items fall into the channels and are hard to get out. Regular tongs are too big to reach into the channels. They provide a special spatula that fits into the channels but that is not very practical when you are just trying to remove a couple of items while everything else is laying on the grilling bars. They make a special set of tongs that reach into the channels but I figured it's getting way too hard and expensive to fit my needs. If you are primarily grilling steaks, ribs, burgers, chicken parts, etc., these grates probably work great. But if you are grilling lots of veggies, shrimp, fish, etc, I suggest you look elsewhere.

WARNING!! (Warning added-5 star review still valid!)Grill grates result in MUCH higher temperatures in the gas grill, and the discharge from the vents will be MUCH hotter!!! Make sure you have adequate clearance between the back/vent of the grill and the side of your house!!!! I kept my grill in the same location after installing/using the grill grates, and melted the vinyl siding on my house, and came close to starting a fire in the wall!! MOVE THE GRILL FARTHER AWAY FROM WALLS!!Previous review:I have been using these for about a month now, on my "low cost" propane gas grill, and I am pretty satisfied. This review is mainly for beef/steaks, I have not tried fish as of yet.The main problem with my "pre-GrillGrate" gas grill was getting/maintaining a high enough temperature for an adequate sear on steaks. This is no longer a problem-BUT, also a caution. The grill grates provide a very high temperature-up to 725° on the grate surface (measured with infrared thermometer). This is plenty hot for a terrific sear........BUT, don't go into your house to mix a drink-you have to really keep a close eye on the steak, flip a few times to get cross hatch sear marks, BUT things will go downhill quick if you ignore them!The grates cover 3 burners on my grill. I keep the right side burner on HIGH, middle burner Medium, and left burner OFF. This provides enough of a temperature gradient to finish cooking the steak properly after the sear. This does take some getting used to! Temperatures on the grates can be adjusted easily and quickly, as aluminum does not hold its heat well.Flavor is great-no steak burning flareups, lots of good smoke generated in the "valleys" of the grate. Sticking has never been an issue, even right out of the box. The "GrateTool" that's included is GREAT!! It gets your flipper easily under the meat for care free flipping-especially good for burgers. ADDED BONUS!! Cleanup is a snap! After every couple of uses, just take the grates out, put them on the ground and wash them off with soapy brush, rinse with the hose, and good to go again! So much better than the old steel/iron grates on the grill.Good item. I originally bought the set of 2 grates, then went to the supplier and got a 3rd one. A little on the pricey side, but so is good beef these days, and it sure is a bummer to ruin a $25 ribeye steak from flareups!

I read the review on serious eats and bought it based on that. I’d have to agree that this makes gas grilling superior. Easy to clean, gets super hot. Great grill marks, no flare ups, can add wood chips for flavor. Superior!

Definitely overpriced for what you get and still does not stop flare ups.

No rust, great grill marks, even out the heat, reduce burn food from flare ups.A little hard to clean between the rails, but they sell a special brush for that. (Imagine that!)Came with the cool fork like spatula that reaches between the grates to lift food.Works for picking up crud from between grate rails.Note: remove built up from between rails before cooking.

these made all the difference in grilling low flame ups the thing i like is the whole grilling area heats up evenly

Excellent product, allows Smokey flavor from charcoal to come through, but it keeps the direct heat from charcoal at bay, resulting in crunchy outside and juicy center. I’ve done chicken thighs, short pork ribs, and 3 Prime ribeye steaks, they all came out AMAZING. Also tomatoes, onions and zucchini perfect. No more burned BBQ by uneven charcoal distribution. Get an instant read thermometer also and a laser read thermometer and that’s all you will need. Thanks a lot

Ordered the Grill Grate and it arrived quick. I fired up my Grill (that always flared-up even after cleaning it) and sprayed pam on the new Grate and I cooked chicken breast wrapped with bacon and no flare up at all, all my friends were ready to order them for there grill.Thanks Ken.
