I ordered this about a week ago. Grillgrates are awesome. They fit perfectly for my large Big Green Egg. I cooked some hamburgers and veggies on them last night and the Grillgrates did a masterful job. They are also easy to clean. Brad, owner of Grillgrates, is very easy to get in contact with and deal with. Shipping was lightning fast. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has a grill/smoker.

I'm not new to grilling but over my life I've always used other people's grills. When my wife bought me my own kamado-style grill for Christmas, I knew it would lead me to a fun new world/hobby. Since I've been investing lots of time & money into my grill, I keep asking what my next accessory purchase would be. I've been eyeing the GrillGrates for a while... ever since I read about them on one of my kamado grill forums I regularly visit. The comments by various members rave about how awesome these were. But I was skeptical not at their function, but price. But after a few gift cards were thrown my way over the past few months, I decided to use them all and buy them from Amazon.I've been in contact with Brad Barrett, President of the company that manufactures the Grillgrate. You can buy these on his own website (just Google GrillGrate) but I was extremely happy to find that they were also sold on Amazon (remember I had some Amazon Gift Cards to burn). Brad is extremely helpful and provides top notch customer service. You see, I have a Char-Griller King Griller grill and I wasn't quite sure which/how many to get. Brad informed me that they make custom cut GrillGrates for Kamado grills. Since not all Kamado grills are the same, he directed me to which size to buy. This lead me to this product, which fits my grill perfectly.
If you'd like to know more about the science of how they function, I would suggest going to the GrillGrate website. I'm not going to do that here. The website is where I got all my information about the pros of this item.
What I will tell you is how nicely things cook on the grill when using the GrillGrates. Despite the 100% perfect sear marks, everything cooks wonderfully and faster (yes things cook faster). I've cooked steaks, burgers, hot dogs, chicken, pork chops, and various vegetables so far and most everything came out nicely. What I especially like is that things don't burn/char from open flame flareups.
The only reason I'm docking 1 star off this review is the following:
Despite the custom fit for 18" diameter kamados, these don't fit snugly on my grill. I wish there was some way to anchor them because they tend to slide all over the actual grill during cooking/cleaning. While not a bad thing, it's more of an annoyance.
I've yet to have good success with burgers on the GrillGrates. Unlike traditional grates, the spacing between the top of the grates is a little far. I tried cooking both regular hamburger patties and mini burgers and found that they've crumbled and broke apart multiple times despite me using the spatula tool. They eventually fell in the little valleys.
Despite my docking of 1 star, I still 100% recommend these. Just like any good accessory, these GrillGrates are awesome.
