Cmanzhi 18" Cast Iron Cooking Grate & Griddle 2-Pack for 18" Kamado Grills — Matte Enamel, Drop-In Fit

The Cmanzhi C6N992 2-pack is a pair of 18-inch matte-enamel cast-iron cooking surfaces — one grate and one griddle plate — built to replace or upgrade the cooking surfaces in popular 18" kamado-style ceramic grills.

These two heavy-duty cast-iron pieces are sized to the common 18" x 9" single-piece standard so they drop into many kamado-style grills without modification. Made with a matte enamel finish, the set is designed to resist rust, hold heat evenly, and provide a versatile cooking surface whether you want direct sear marks on steaks or a flat griddle for eggs and vegetables.

Will this fit my Kamado Joe or Big Green Egg?

Yes — the Cmanzhi C6N992 follows the industry-standard 18" single-piece dimensions, matching a wide range of 18-inch ceramic grills. It’s specifically listed as compatible with Kamado Joe Classic II (KJ-23RHC), Classic III (KJ23NRHCI), Large Big Green Egg, Vision Grill VGKSS-CC2 and model B-11N1A1-Y2A.

• Standard 18" x 9" single-piece sizing for drop-in installation.

How does the matte enamel cast iron perform when grilling?

Matte enamel on cast iron protects the metal from moisture while still letting the grate deliver excellent heat retention and searing capability. The surface is built to handle high temperatures common in ceramic grills, so you can create caramelized crusts and steady, even heat for longer cooks.

• Matte enamel finish reduces rust and eases cleanup.
• Cast iron core retains and distributes heat evenly.
• Durable under high-temperature direct and indirect grilling.
• Works well for searing, grilling, and griddling tasks.

What cooking options does the two-piece set unlock?

This set includes a traditional grate for searing and a flat griddle plate for foods that need a smooth surface, giving you flexibility without buying separate accessories. Switch between surfaces depending on the meal—use the grate for burgers and steaks, and the griddle for breakfast or delicate items.

• Grate: pronounced sear marks and direct-flame grilling.
• Griddle plate: even flat surface for eggs, pancakes, and vegetables.
• Replaces worn soapstone or other OEM inserts to restore performance.
• Two pieces let you adapt between searing and griddling quickly.

How do I care for and maintain these cast-iron pieces?

After initial seasoning, clean with a stiff brush and warm water; avoid harsh detergents that strip the enamel. Re-season lightly when needed and store dry to prevent corrosion, keeping the grate and griddle ready for consistent performance.

• Season before first use and after deep cleans with high-smoke oil.
• Brush off residues and rinse with warm water; dry thoroughly.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the enamel layer.
• Store in a dry place; occasional re-seasoning maintains a nonstick surface.

Who this is for: Grill owners who use 18-inch kamado-style ceramic cookers and want a rugged, versatile replacement or upgrade. It’s ideal for Kamado Joe and Big Green Egg users who need both a searing grate and a flat griddle without custom fitting. If you want durable heat retention, easier maintenance than raw cast iron, and a cost-effective way to restore or expand your grill’s capabilities, this Cmanzhi 2-piece set is a practical choice.
