Direct Store Cast Iron Porcelain-Coated Grill Grates set of 2 11 3/4" x 16 15/16" — heavy-duty, superior sear

If your grill's original grates are warped, rusted, or no longer searing properly, these cast iron cooking grids restore even heat retention and classic grill marks. Each grate is cast iron with a polished porcelain coating that helps resist sticking and simplifies cleanup while preserving the mass and durability cast iron provides. The pair covers an overall footprint of 23 1/2" x 16 15/16" when installed together and is intended as a direct replacement for many Brinkmann, Pro Series, Grill Chefs and Grill Zone models (see fit list below).

How do these cast iron grates perform compared with stainless steel?

Cast iron stores and transfers heat more effectively than thin stainless, giving better sear lines and steadier temperatures for thicker cuts. The polished porcelain coating reduces sticking and slows corrosion, while the cast iron core still provides the weight and heat capacity professional cooks expect.

• Superior heat retention for even searing and char marks
• Porcelain coating helps prevent food from sticking and simplifies cleaning
• Heavier, more durable construction than lightweight steel grates
• Requires periodic maintenance (seasoning/oiling) to extend lifespan

What care and seasoning steps will keep these grates working longer?

Cast iron benefits from an initial seasoning and regular oiling to prevent rust and sticking. The manufacturer recommends a high-heat pre-seasoning, routine cleaning between uses, and occasional oiling if the grill is exposed to salt air or stored uncovered.

• Initial: heat grates to 500–600°F for 10 minutes, cool, coat with oil, then reheat 10 minutes
• Before each cook: scrape residue, apply a light oil layer to prevent sticking
• After use: brush clean and store with grill covered to reduce moisture exposure
• If damaged in transit, contact seller for replacement options

Are these grates easy to install and clean?

Yes — installation is straightforward: remove the old grates and lay the replacement pieces into the existing supports. The porcelain finish makes routine clean-up simpler, though abrasive tools should be avoided to preserve the coating.

• Drop-in replacement design for compatible grill models
• Porcelain coating allows easier food-release and wiping
• Avoid metal scouring pads to prevent surface damage
• If a grate cracks during shipping, contact customer service for assistance

Who is this for: Home grillers and backyard cooks who want heavier, long-lasting grates that deliver better searing and heat retention than thin factory grates. These DC103 cast iron grids are for owners of supported Brinkmann, Pro Series, Grill Chefs and Grill Zone gas grills who prefer durable cast iron performance with the easier cleanup of a porcelain finish, and who are willing to perform basic seasoning and maintenance to protect the coating and extend service life.

Compatible models include many Brinkmann series numbers (see product listing), Pro Series 2500/2600 families, Grill Zone and Grill Chefs units. Measure your current cook grate to confirm fit before ordering.
