as to why there are a few potential benefits. the first thing I noticed was how even the IR thermometer showed temps. the entire surface of the grill grates was within 50° despite only being heated by the small firepot on the pit boss. this increased my usable sear space considerably. another benefit is reduced flare ups. I am not a fan of grill lines myself. they can be flipped upside down and used on the flat side if desired. this creates a kind of griddle surface for cooking. I dont know about cleaning but I assume it's just a matter of building a proper season and your good. I've cooked hundreds, if not thousands of steaks on traditional grates. do I need grill grates to cook a steak? of course not. can they improve grill performance? of course at the end of the day this is also my hobby. buying various gadgets is fun and keeps things fresh. I would definitely recommend them to anyone with a pellet cooker or gasser that needs more umph.

if you look at the pic in the OP the section on the right has a tiny knick in the rib on the far right. it's almost nothing and worth over half off

I like the GG for steak. But you are on the right track - flip over and do smash burgers. Big winner at our house

Mine come in today, but there's rain in the forecast for the next 5 or 6 days, so I'm not sure when I'll get to use them. I got mine as an additional way of cooking. It takes a lot less time for my Yoder to get up to temp than it does for me to get the charcoal grill running, so I see it as a way to get cooking faster when I'm in a hurry. Normally, I wouldn't have bought them, but the discount was to good to ignore.

My concern is that the heat dissipation will transfer to the cool side of the kettle on a reverse sear. Maybe leave one section out to get steak to temp before searing on the grillgrates?

The orange and blue BBQ truck just dropped off my GrillGrates!!
Other than one is slightly darker than the other and a few scratches and discolorations they seem to be in great shape. Hell, I wouldn't even complain about these if I paid full price. There's a blemish on the rail corner but after a few steaks it won't be seen. A scratch across the flat side, still not bothering me! A few other minor blemishes on the edge Other than that they're in good shape. |

Supposedly FedUp has delivered my grates.
3 more hours of work. Besides a good scrubbing, any thing else I need to do before I use them?

I spritz them with oil when they are nice and hot... right before putting the food on.

Both of these were done with the grill grates on the Mak. One was the flat surface. Other was ridged

cook two. sear plate open.
sale ribeye. 50/50 carne crosta & santa maria is my goto for steak playing with the new IR thermometer had a smudge on the lens, looks like fuzzy filter. finished steak one of my all time favorite meals. ribeye with baked potato and asparagus, only thing missing is a cluster of crab legs. grill grates are a winner

Got home and found them in the driveway.
Opened them up, very happy so far. Definite color variation and one small ding. Nothing that bothers me. Wife is under the weather, so the first cook will wait till tomorrow. Sigh. Thanks for the reply, rwalters!
