SafBbcue 16.5" Cast Iron Grill Grates for Kenmore 4- & 5-Burner Grills — Heavy-Duty Sear & Heat Retention

If your Kenmore or compatible Dyna-Glo grill has worn or warped cooking grates, these heavy-duty cast iron replacements bring back consistent heat and professional sear marks. Each grate measures 16.5" x 13 3/8", and the full set covers 16.5" x 26 3/4", matching the footprint of many Kenmore Permasteel and BBQ-Pro models as well as several Dyna-Glo 4- and 5-burner units. They’re designed for a straightforward swap-in installation and built to withstand repeated heating cycles.

Will these grates fit my Kenmore grill model?

These grates are manufactured to the dimensions and mounting points used on a range of Kenmore replacement part numbers, so they fit directly without modification in matching models. Always verify your grill’s grate size and check the listed part numbers before ordering to ensure compatibility.

• Exact grate size: 16.5" x 13 3/8" per piece; total coverage 16.5" x 26 3/4".
• Common compatible Kenmore part numbers included in product listing.
• Also compatible with many Dyna-Glo 4- and 5-burner models (listed in specs).
• Measure your existing grates to confirm a match before purchase.

How do these cast iron grates improve cooking?

Cast iron stores and radiates heat more evenly than thin stamped steel, which helps build a stable searing surface and better caramelization. That creates deeper, restaurant-style grill marks and more consistent doneness across the cooking area.

• High heat retention for improved searing and crust development.
• Even temperature distribution across the cooking surface.
• Thicker bars produce clear, consistent grill marks.
• Durable construction stands up to frequent high-heat use.

What care and usage tips help these grates perform best?

Cast iron needs a little extra attention to prevent sticking and rust. Proper preheating, seasoning, and regular cleaning keep the grates performing and extend their service life.

• Preheat the grill with all burners on high for 10–15 minutes before searing.
• Lightly oil the grates or food to reduce sticking and improve sear release.
• After cooling slightly, brush residue off with a stiff brush; dry and apply a thin oil layer to protect from rust.
• For deep cleaning, remove and scrub with hot water and a non-abrasive pad, then re-season the surface.

How long will these replacement grates last?

With proper maintenance—seasoning, routine cleaning, and protection from moisture—cast iron grates can last for many grilling seasons. Their heavier construction resists warping and sustains performance better than thinner alternatives.

• Built from thick cast iron for long-term durability.
• Resists warping under repeated high-heat cycles compared to stamped metal grates.
• Longevity depends on routine care and storage in dry conditions.
• Minor surface rust can be removed and the grate re-seasoned for renewed performance.

Who is this for: Home grillers and backyard chefs who own Kenmore or compatible Dyna-Glo 4- or 5-burner gas grills and want to restore searing power, even heat distribution, and a professional grilling surface without modifying their appliance. Ideal for anyone replacing worn OEM grates or upgrading to cast iron for improved grilling results.
