Direct Store Porcelain-Coated Cast Iron Grill Grates 18-1/4" (2-Piece) — Fits Charbroil, Kenmore & More, Heavy-Duty Heat Retention

Direct Store Parts DC116 is a two-piece set of 18-1/4" porcelain-coated cast-iron cooking grids designed to replace worn or missing grates on select Charbroil, Coleman, Kenmore, Master Forge, Thermos, Uniflame and compatible gas grills.

If your grill grate is rusting, warped, or no longer giving even searing, this aftermarket replacement set restores a solid cooking surface and consistent heat retention. Each kit includes two polished porcelain-coated cast-iron grids sized to fit a combined cooking width of 26-1/4" (each grid 13-1/8" wide), offering durable construction and easier maintenance than bare cast iron alone. These grids are sold as an aftermarket replacement; confirm your grill measurements and model compatibility before ordering.

Which grill models will these DC116 grates replace?

The DC116 set is made to match a broad list of Charbroil model numbers and several compatible brands. It also fits designated Kenmore, Master Forge, Thermos, Uniflame and other common gas-grill models listed by the manufacturer.

• Direct compatibility references include many Charbroil model numbers (see technical listing).
• Also cross-references Kenmore 16657 series, Master Forge GGP-2501, Thermos 461262407 and Uniflame GBC750W.
• Because this is aftermarket, verify the original grate dimensions before purchase.

How do these porcelain-coated cast-iron grates perform compared to other materials?

Porcelain-coated cast iron combines cast iron’s superior heat retention with a protective enamel layer that resists rust and simplifies cleanup. You get strong searing performance and longer single-grate lifespan than many thin steel grates, with the coating reducing sticking and corrosion.

• Excellent heat retention for even searing and grill marks.
• Porcelain enamel reduces surface rust and eases food release.
• Heavy-duty cast iron supports cookware and steady cooking temperatures.

What are the exact dimensions and what should I measure on my grill?

Measure the internal cooking area from left to right and front to back where the original grates sit. The DC116 set covers a total length of 18-1/4" and a combined width of 26-1/4"; each grate is 13-1/8" wide so they sit side-by-side to form the full cooking surface.

• Single grate length: 18-1/4" (front-to-back).
• Combined width (two grates): 26-1/4"; individual width 13-1/8".
• Confirm mounting lip positions and clearance in your grill before installing.

How should I care for porcelain-coated cast-iron grates to extend their life?

Routine maintenance keeps the porcelain looking good and prevents damage. Clean after each use with a grill brush once the grates are warm, avoid harsh metal scraping that chips the enamel, and dry thoroughly to prevent rust where the coating may be exposed.

• Brush warm grates to remove food debris; avoid aggressive scrapers.
• Hand-wash and dry to protect the porcelain coating and cast-iron base.
• Season lightly if any bare cast-iron edges show after long use.

Who is this for? Grill owners with compatible Charbroil, Coleman, Kenmore, Master Forge, Thermos, Uniflame or other matching models who want to replace damaged or rusty cooking grids with a durable porcelain-coated cast-iron option. This 2-piece DC116 set is aimed at backyard cooks who value even heat, better searing, and easier maintenance compared with bare cast iron or thin steel grates. Before purchasing, compare the listed dimensions and model references to your original grates to ensure an accurate fit.
