The Onlyfire 13.5" stainless steel cooking grate with swivel shaft is a direct-replacement, swivel-mounted grill grate designed to restore and expand cooking area for Char-Griller 16620 owners.

If your Char-Griller 16620’s original grate is warped, missing, or you want extra warming and access options, this 13.5-inch stainless steel grate with integrated swivel shaft provides a durable, rust-resistant solution. Built to match the footprint of the factory part, it also fits the Onlyfire 8515 grate (ASIN: B01MD25EDW), making it a useful upgrade or spare for matching grills. The swivel shaft lets you pivot the grate out of the cooking zone for easier access to coals or rotisserie attachments without removing the entire rack.

How does the swivel shaft improve grilling workflow?

The swivel shaft allows the grate to rotate outward so you can tend coals, add wood chips, or access a bottom grate without lifting heavy cookware. That movement keeps the cooking surface stable and reduces the risk of spills.

• Pivot action for safe, one-handed access to fuel and ash.
• Minimizes heat loss when checking food or adding charcoal.
• Keeps cookware in place while you adjust the fire below.

Will this grate resist rust and last under high heat?

Constructed from stainless steel, the grate offers strong corrosion resistance and holds up to repeated heating cycles better than plain steel. Proper seasoning and cleaning will extend its life and maintain surface performance.

• Stainless steel construction for oxidation resistance.
• Stable under typical grilling temperatures and searing heat.
• Easy to wipe clean and less prone to flaking than coated grates.

What cooking advantages does the 13.5" size provide?

This 13.5-inch cooking surface fits the Char-Griller 16620 layout and increases usable space for multi-surface cooking and warming. It’s sized to give a larger warming shelf while preserving the main searing area below.

• Allows cooking on multiple levels simultaneously.

Is installation straightforward and compatible with my grill?
