I have used these for 3 years and given a number of sets as gifts, and everyone who got them raves about them. I grill 3 to 5 times per week, and those friends grill about the same amount.
What some people may not like about these grates:
*Pricey (you will need 3 for a 3 burner Weber)
*They are heavy (do not drop on your foot, it would hurt)
*Each one of these grids is actually 3 interlocking pieces that slide to increase or decrease the front to back length to fit the depth of almost any grill large or small. When you need to handle these it makes that trickier as the 2 end pieces will hang from the middle piece in a U shape when you handle it if you are not paying attention.
What a serious griller will love about these:
*The grids will fit the depth of almost any grill
*This is the heaviest (THICK) cast iron grate I have been able to find. Possibly 3 times the thickness of Weber's cast iron for instance.
*These things get HOT and they STAY HOT. If you like to sear your steaks, get your grill properly warmed up and drop them on these for top notch searing. Plus, these retain heat so well the meat does not suck all of the heat out of your cooking surface.
These put a lot of hot iron in your rig, perform fabulously, and they are a serious upgrade for any grill at any price range. You can find $5000.00+ grills all day long that do not have grates that perform like these.

Short story they fit, they cook very well and clean up nicely. No rust so far, old ones did despite coming with a very expensive grill.

When I ordered this product, there was only one review. I decided that the description and potential usefulness of this product outweighed the negative words in the review. A piece of the grate broke off as I was putting it on the grill for the first time. Even if the item were not packaged correctly, a grill grate should stand up to some stress. If you don't plan to handle a grill grate as carefully as you would your wedding china, avoid this one. Thanks to Amazon for having a decent return policy.
Honest reviews on Char-Broil 14" Porcelain Cast Iron Grid Section
while these grates are high quality and stay hot for a long time, they are very difficult to use. if you need to remove them at any point, they are difficult to put back on the grill because the three interlocking pieces don't stay in place. if for some reason you need to get under the grates during grilling, moving these are very difficult. don't recommend.
