Charbrofire Cast Iron Grill Grates Replacement for Kenmore, 2‑Piece 16.2×12.6 in Matte‑Enamel, Reversible Sear

If your Kenmore grill has worn, warped, or chipped grates, this pair of heavy-duty cast iron cooking grids offers an upgrade engineered for high heat retention and long service life. Each grate measures approximately 16 1/5" x 12 5/8" (two together span about 16 1/5" x 25 1/4"), and the matte enamel finish reduces sticking while protecting the iron. The grates are reversible and built with thicker, solid rods to resist warping and deliver pronounced sear marks.

How do these grates improve grilling performance?

The denser cast iron and larger-diameter rods hold and radiate heat more effectively than thin or porcelain-coated alternatives, producing faster sears and more even cooking across the surface. Because heat is retained, temperature swings are reduced when you open the lid.

• Heavy-gauge solid rods for stronger heat retention and consistent searing.
• Matte enamel finish minimizes food sticking while preserving iron durability.
• Reversible design lets you use either side for cooking or cleaning.
• Reduced rod clearance for more contact area and better heat transfer.

Which Kenmore models and part numbers do these grates fit?

The Charbrofire set is made to be compatible with many Kenmore replacement part numbers and common 4-burner grill layouts. Confirm your grill’s original grate dimensions or part number before ordering to ensure a proper fit.

• Designed to fit PG-40409SOLB and associated Kenmore part numbers such as 146.16142210, 146.46372610, 146.10016510, and others.
• Compatible with parts referenced as 40900204 and a range of 146-series numbers used by Kenmore models.
• Each grate measures 16 1/5" x 12 5/8", compatible with grills that accept two-piece configurations totaling 16 1/5" x 25 1/4".

How should I care for and maintain these cast iron grates?

Routine seasoning and gentle cleaning prolong the life of cast iron grates and preserve the enamel finish. Avoid metal-bristled brushes that can damage the surface; instead, use a soft brush and warm water, and lightly oil the grates before and after use.

• Before first use and after cleaning, rub a thin layer of cooking oil over the grates to maintain seasoning.
• Clean with non-metallic tools and warm water; avoid harsh chemical cleaners or dishwasher cycles.
• If damaged during shipping, the seller offers free return or replacement service.

Are these grates reversible and what cooking results can I expect?

Yes — both surfaces can be used for cooking, giving you flexibility and extending service life. Expect deeper, well-defined grill marks and improved crust formation due to the iron’s direct heat transfer.

• Use the smooth side for cleaner presentation and the textured side for ideal searing.
• High thermal mass reduces flare-ups and helps maintain steady grill temperatures.
• Provides a sturdy surface for heavier pans and utensils when needed.

Who is this for: This Charbrofire 2-piece cast iron grate set suits home grillers who want to restore or upgrade their Kenmore gas grill’s cooking surface for stronger searing, longer-lasting performance, and more even heat distribution. It’s ideal for owners of compatible Kenmore models seeking durable replacements that stand up to regular high-heat use while remaining easy to maintain.
