Charbrofire cast-iron grill grates replacement for DGF493BNP — matte enamel, 3-piece set (16.44"x9.25" pieces)

Heavy matte enamel cast-iron replacement grates sized for Dyna-Glo and compatible Kenmore and Backyard grills that deliver fast heat retention and searing performance. These Charbrofire grates are a three-piece replacement set engineered to match DGF493BNP-series cooking surfaces and a range of compatible models from Dyna-Glo, Kenmore, Backyard, and UniFlame. Made from thick cast iron with a matte enamel finish, the set is built to hold heat for stronger sear marks and more even cooking than thin steel or flaking porcelain-coated options. Dimensions and compatibility are designed to make replacement straightforward for several common grill part numbers.

What makes these matte enamel cast-iron grates different from porcelain-coated grates?

The grates use solid, heavy cast-iron rods finished in a matte enamel that resists chipping and provides better heat-storing capacity than thinner or coated grids. That thicker construction helps create more consistent contact heat and improves searing.

• Solid cast-iron rods with larger diameter for longer heat retention
• Matte enamel resists flaking that can occur with thin porcelain coatings
• Reversible surface gives two usable sides and consistent grill marks

Which grill models and part numbers are these grates compatible with?

This set fits multiple Dyna-Glo models such as DGF493BNP, DGF493PNP-D, DGH474CRP and various DGB495 series models. It’s also cross-compatible with several Kenmore and Backyard/UniFlame part numbers often used as factory replacements.

• Dyna-Glo: DGF493BNP, DGF493PNP-D, DGH474CRP, DGB495SDP-D and related models
• Kenmore: 146.23678310 and multiple equivalent part numbers
• Backyard / UniFlame: BY-series and GBC part codes including GBC1134W

What are the exact dimensions and practical benefits for cooking?

Each grate measures approximately 16 4/9" x 9 1/4", with the full three-piece spread covering 16 4/9" x 27 3/4". The heavy cast-iron construction improves heat transfer to food, helping to sear and lock juices while giving attractive char lines.

• Individual piece: ~16.44" x 9.25"; combined width for three pieces: ~27.75"
• Reversible layout — both sides usable to extend service life
• Great for searing steaks, burgers, and veggies due to robust heat retention

How should I care for and install these replacement grates?

Installation is plug-and-play when replacing grates on compatible models: remove the old grates and set these in place. After initial seasoning, maintain them by cleaning hot with a grill brush, drying thoroughly, and applying a light oil coating to prevent rust.

• Season before first use to build a protective cooking surface
• Brush off food residues after each use and oil lightly to preserve enamel
• Store dry or under a cover to reduce corrosion risk
