Discount Cast Iron Grate, Pre Seasoned, Modular, Fits 18.5" Grills and Large

Customer Ratings:

The description here today July 6, 2012 reads as follows:

"" Fits 18-1/2-inch charcoal kettle grills and large Big Green Eggs, actual diameter 17-1/2-inch. ""

The above description is incorrect. The actual diameter is 16.8 inches.

It fits PERFECTLY inside the Weber Smokey Mountain 18.5 inch smoker aka WSM 18.5 ON THE TOP SHELF

It fits PERFECTLY inside the Weber Smokey Mountain 18.5 inch smoker aka WSM 18.5 ON THE 2ND SHELF

I tried to cancel this order when I read earlier the false description about the 17.5 inch statement.

If it were 17.5 inches, then it would not have worked out.

Customer Service was kind enough to say that if that were the case, then they would cover the return cost.

In the end all worked out okay.

Note that the only downside is that you have to bring these inside when not being used UNLESS you really have them greased up pretty good with Crisco Shortening.

I figure the cast iron will make the WSM even better in maintaining a steady/constant temperature

It would cost more, but you could place one of these CAST IRON grates on BOTH the top and 2nd shelves.

The second shelf would then have the water basin underneath it and the top cast iron grate on top it.

This should bring about pretty good heat stabilization on that second shelf.

Fantastic. Use it a couple times a week. My wife bought me the solid cast iron plate insert that you could put into the frame by removing one of the griddle plates. Definitely recommend this grate. I use on my large BGE.

This grate restricts airflow severely in my Kamado making it difficult to get to higher temperatures for searing steaks. I thought the idea of having liftable sections was a good one, but it is not. It's nearly impossible to get the grates back in place once removed if they are hot. To top it off, the separators that hold the grates in place make the meats sear unevenly and it is difficult to get even meat temperatures if the meat lays over the separator area or in the center of the grate. No matter how many times I cure the cast iron it rusts like crazy. All-in-all I would call this a major fail for this item as it is counterproductive to my grilling. I'll go back to the stock grate that came with my Kamado. It would seem that whoever made this item was not a serious griller.

This grate is a must have for the Big Green Egg. It is perfect for searing steak and other meats. It's also nice to be able to lift a section out to add smoke wood to your low and slows. Get this great it is, well GREAT!
