Weber 7524 Porcelain-Ennameled Cast-Iron Cooking Grates


Great Grates!
As others have said again and again, these grids are a vast improvement over the stainless steel grates that my Weber Genesis (special edition)came with. I NOW feel I am really grilling! Best thing I could have done for my already great grill. Also so far the food doesn't seem to stick like it did with the stainless steel. If you haven't made the switch yet DO IT NOW , you'll be glad you did.
Grill works like new again!
Perfect replacement for original. I was surprised at the improvement it made searing - my old grates had gradually lost material from scraping/cleaning and were not as effective as they were when new. I replaced the old ones because we had actually gotten small bits of metal in our food while grilling. Now that I know, I will plan on replacing these every few years.
Not just for Weber Grills
I have a Charmglow (I know, Boooooooo, hissssss). But it does a great job at heating up, and is great at cooking meat. But the grates were cheap and at the two year mark looked like one big piece of rusted garbage. Or rather two. It not only made grilling unpleasant, it was cosmetically nauseating. Looking at it, I actually started to think of already buying a new grill.

Instead, I looked around for replacements and all I could find were either the originals at around $60-$90, which were flimsy and had only lasted two years (actually more like 1 1/2). and even cheaper Walmart style universal grates at around $40 that were so flimsy I could have bent them with my bare hands.

I didn't want the originals because they are round cast iron with a wrap around porcelain that looks more like a plastic wrapped grate. One little crack and moisture gets in. Then the stuff starts peeling off the cast iron (and possibly into your food) and that spells doom for the grate...
