This cast iron grid setup retails for $29.95 and comes with a porcelain coating and requires no seasoning and is ready to use. There is a promotion code for the folks that use the Char-Broil forum for an additional 10% off the purchase price.
I would advise folks to shop around and you will see a few replacement cast iron cooking grids for the above cookers and grills that cost in excess of 100 dollars. This grid is a bargain in price as compared to all others.
The grid is shown in my 22-1/2” Weber Performer grill.
To use my grills charcoal igniter, I just remove the center section of the cooking grid and place the chimney over the igniter flame.
After I poured the charcoal in and replaced the grid, I waited about 10 minutes to be sure my cast iron grids was hot. I have a couple of porterhouse steaks for the first attempt with the grids.
I cooked these steaks about 3 minutes and then turned them a little to get the cross hatch type marks and then cooked them about 2 more minutes and then turned them over and did the same to the other side.
It made for a nice looking steak.
I also did some burgers after the steaks.
Burgers looked ok but not as good as I wanted. Would be better if the cooking grids were a little closer to each other for small items. Probably have to watch grilling smaller veggies that some don’t fall thru the cracks.
I love the grid and think it is a bargain compared to anything else out there at that price.
Next step is trying a large wok hanging thru the center section of the grill....I think it will work.
That is extremely competitively priced!
ReplyDeleteAre these things still available? I cant find it on the Charbroil site ...
