When we introduced GrillGrate eight
years ago, it was one size and one application, to sit on top of the
existing surface of any grill, like re-surfacing a road by going on
top of the old one. We began offering longer lengths and
different shapes to cover more and more grill surface and more types
of grills. Last year we began a custom cutting service due to strong
demand for precise lengths. WHY? To replace the old, rusty, nasty
grill surface, not sit on top of it.
My grill is two years old and my
grates are shot. We hear this every day.
We've always believed that over time
GrillGrate would become a standard grill surface, not just an
accessory. Today many of our customers are covering most or all of
their surface either on top or replacing the existing grates. We are
now in the business of full grill replacements as well as an "on top"
solution.
GrillGrates cook food identically
whether they sit on top of existing cooking grids or not.
The difference is how the grill
performs and it can be a big difference, especially if the old grates
are cast iron. Cast iron is a heat sink. It takes a long time to get
hot and a long time to cool down. The opposite is true with
aluminum. Stainless steel does not slow down GrillGrates heating up
as much as cast iron.
Replacing your grates with GrillGrates
will turbo-charge the
effectiveness of your grill:
- Very responsive- faster to heat up and cool down, and adjust grill temperatures.
- More efficient- GrillGrates trap and hold more of a grills' heat, so gas consumption will be less. That saves you money each time you grill.
Precautions with GrillGrates in complete grill replacements:
- Your grill will run significantly hotter, you may never use high heat setting again.
- Clean out the grease tray and any grease in older grills before installing replacement GrillGrates.
- Ideally, leave a gap on the left and right to allow heat to escape into the hood. The gap helpskeep heat from building up inside the The GAP is your friend and can be used to separate your grill into zones for searing and roasting as shown.

Hi Brad and everyone,
I've been using GrillGrates for years in Germany, becoming a firm believer instantly. My grilling results have been impressive with GrillGrates placed on top of the original Weber Q cast-iron grate and on the Weber kettle grill. Still, it's been my impression that the original grates are an obstacle to the full heat reaching the GrillGrates. They also double the cleaning effort unnecessarily. Recently, I discovered that four of the 44-cm-long panels will perfectly cover the entire grilling area of the Weber Spirit 210 grill, without the need to use the original cast-iron grates. That's exactly what I've been looking for! Now I have a brand-new 210 original and four brand-new matching panels. I'm so glad there is a distributor in Germany who offers a good selection of GrillGrates sets. The inauguration is due this weekend. Unfortunately, it's raining... Can't wait to grill the first steaks and pork loin on the new system.
Best regards, and keep up the good work!

Wonderful to hear from you in Germany Volker! Your Weber Spirit will run more efficiently for sure and it is better than new! GrillGrate, Eat Well!
Hi another happy user in Europe, but Switzerland this time. I got my grates from a seller in Germany (eBay iirc). Actually I bought my plates before we had the grill. We also have 4 grates on a weber 210, the 2014 model. Never used the original cast iron plates, the grillgrates went on before first firing up the grill.
One minor issue with the 210 - the fit with 4 grates is a bit *too* good, as there is not gap wathsoever and it so it seems quite hard to set two zone grilling. I have tried inverting the grates for hamburgers, as suggested by amazingribs.com - works great!
I was coming here to see if I could order some custom grates (so I get an air gap on my 210, and can try playing around with two zone grilling) but unfortunately custome heights are possible but not custome widths. Anyway, great product :)
The post is written in very a good manner and it contains many useful information for me.
