Wanchao 17" Cast Iron Grill Grates for Nexgrill 4- & 5-Burner — Porcelain-Coated, Heavy-Duty Heat Retention

These Wanchao 17" porcelain-coated cast iron grates are direct-fit replacements designed to restore even heat, professional searing, and reliable durability for compatible Nexgrill and similar gas grills.

If your Nexgrill cooking grates are warped, rusted, or no longer searing food properly, these cast iron replacements bring back high heat retention and classic grill marks. Each individual grate measures 17" x 13 1/4" and together cover 17" x 26 1/2" — matching multiple original part numbers so you can swap them in without modifying your grill. The porcelain enamel finish reduces sticking and simplifies cleanup while cast iron core provides steady, even heat for consistent results.

Will these grates fit my Nexgrill model?

These Wanchao grates are engineered as compatible replacements for a wide range of Nexgrill 4- and 5-burner models and several other brands. Verify your existing grate dimensions and part numbers against the listed compatible models before ordering to ensure a proper fit.

• Individual grate size: 17" x 13 1/4"; combined: 17" x 26 1/2"
• Compatible with Nexgrill: many 4-burner and 5-burner SKUs (examples listed in product details)
• Also fits some Char-Broil, Kenmore, Uniflame and other open-grate models
• Matches original part numbers like 341-025, 549-057 and others cited in the specifications

How do these grates improve cooking performance?

Cast iron stores and radiates heat much more effectively than thin steel, so these replacement grates increase searing power and maintain temperature when you add food. The porcelain coating helps food release more easily and limits rusting, while the weight and thickness create deeper, more pronounced grill marks.

• Excellent heat retention for steady temperatures during searing
• Porcelain enamel reduces sticking and simplifies wiping or soaking
• Robust cast-iron mass gives clearer grill marks and even browning
• Resists warping under high heat for longer service life

What care and maintenance do these grates require?

Simple routine care keeps cast iron grates performing well: clean after use, dry fully, and season periodically to build a protective layer. Avoid harsh scrubbing that chips the enamel; use warm soapy water with a soft brush for routine cleaning, and reseason the surface to maintain nonstick properties.

• Soak in warm soapy water and brush with a non-abrasive tool for cleaning
• Thoroughly dry before storage to prevent surface oxidation
• Season lightly before each cooking session for best release and longevity
• Preheat grill on high for ~15 minutes and brush to remove loose residues

Who is this for? Grill owners with Nexgrill 4- or 5-burner setups (and owners of several compatible Char-Broil, Kenmore, Uniflame, and other models) who want to restore professional searing, reliable heat distribution, and easier maintenance without replacing the entire grill. These Wanchao grates suit weekend backyard chefs, frequent outdoor cooks, and anyone replacing warped or damaged original grates with a durable porcelain-coated cast iron option.
