Cast Iron Go Grate (2), 5.8lbs, Rectangular, Heavy, Preseasoned, Non-Stick, Cooking-Grates, Fits Go Anywhere Charcoal and Gas Models

Cooked short ribs and vegetables, was able to get that lovely sear on both. product is well made, fits like a glove and works. it does add some weight to the overall portability and i wouldnt want to drop it as i dont know how durable it would be but overall i am happy and look forward to more cooks.

Love these grated. Way too expensive but got as a gift. Grilling is a lot superior to the stock wire grid. Seasoned well it’s easy to clean, and for smaller cuts or a single burger can use just one half.A little tricky to remove hot grates or place cold ones. Used to sell a lifted but it’s no longer available. I use sturdy tongs and slide one side of tongs between grid bars and carefully pick up that way. Was going to use slip joint pliers but not effecting and scratched grid.

Excellent upgrade over the stock/thin grill grates that come with the grill. Very high quality! A common problem with the Gas Go Anywhere grills is they cook unevenly - but I've discovered these grates closely balances out the heat more equally (not quite 100%, but fairly close). Steaks come out with nice grill marks. The only downside is that it adds quite a bit of additional weight when transporting, but that's the trade off for having great quality grates.

Ordered on May 27th. Arrived June 1st. Upon opening package in which the grates were shipped, noticed several things both good and bad. The good? Hefty, solid feel. Hopefully will get a chance to use the new grates this weekend to see how much better they help cook food compared to the thin wire grate that came with my Weber Go Anywhere charcoal grill. The bad? Immediately noticed two issues. The pre-seasoned coating on the grate does not appear to be as good as the pre-seasoned coating on my Lodge cast iron cookware. In the clear plastic film in which the grates are wrapped/packaged, can see lots of small black flecks which appear to be the seasoning flaking off in assorted places. Before I use this grate, I will need to brush it clear of these loose particulates and then apply a new coat of seasoning so that nothing flakes off into the food when I'm actually cooking on these grates. But what really has me concerned even before I use the grates is that one part appears to have what can best be described as a "void" or gap where the cast iron is missing. It's not a huge void and is only limited to one part of the grill. I suspect there may have been a defect in the mold. However, my concern is that the missing iron creates a vacuum which compromises the structural integrity of the grate in that area. Not sure if that part of the grate will snap apart over time or if my fears are unfounded. I suppose only time and repeated use of the grates will reveal whether it's only a cosmetic defect or a more serious structural defect.Simple verdict: I like what I see but am concerned about long-term durability and the quality of the workmanship on the product. Won't pass further judgment until after I've used the grate a couple of times. If needed, I'll come back to either edit my original review or add new concerns/issues as they may arise.

I've just used them for the first time, and find them a big upgrade. First, because they're in two pieces, you can take one side to tend the coals. (Cutting the original grate in half is a popular GA 'hack," that's why.) That alone would make it a big upgrade. You can even leave one of the two grills off and slide the other to a better spot over the coals. So in general, it's an upgrade just for that bit of convenience.The grates are pre-seasoned easy to clean. They also pack and store easily within the GA, unlike the original grate can, which only be stored in its working position, so if you want to store things within the grill, it interferes.Then there's the ultimate question: How does it cook? My first time out with it I grilled some salmon and some eggplant. Great grill marks, much better than on the original grate (which isn't terrible by any means).I've read at least one review that complained the grate should run the short way, "vertically," instead of the long way, "horizontally," because people normally slide a spatula from front to back. I didn't find that to be a problem, but it did take an adjustment.Really happy with these so far. Unfortunately the grate lifter is out of stock and it seems like an extremely important tool to have. Handling these hot grates with a barbecue tongs is problematic.BTW looking forward to getting the griddle one of these days.

These grates are awesome. They leave beautiful grill marks on the food and we’re nonstick after I seasoned them with bacon grease. Also, because the grates come in two pieces, I can store my Weber chimney charcoal starter (compact) in the grill along with other accessories. These grates seem like they will last forever if you keep them seasoned and dry. I’m very happy with this purchase.

Recepie for your perfect steak

Too heavy and much more trouble than the traditional grate that comes with the weber grill. Cleaning is a nighmare.
