17 in Cooking Grates for Nexgrill 6-Burner - Cast Iron 3-Pack

In this review of the 17 in cooking grates for Nexgrill 6-Burner, the bottom line is clear: these cast iron grates are for grill owners who need heavy-duty, well fitting replacement parts that restore even heat and better searing. The reviewer found the three-piece set straightforward to install on compatible Nexgrill Home Depot models and praised the durable matte porcelain coating for resisting sticking and simplifying cleanup. If the priority is heat retention, build quality, and a near-original fit, this product delivers those essentials.

Key Features

• Exact fit: The grates are designed to match Nexgrill 720-0896 series and related models, providing a near-direct replacement that eliminates fit guessing.
• Cast iron construction: Matte porcelain coated cast iron retains heat well, producing consistent temperatures and better sear marks across the cooking surface.
• Three-piece set: The package includes three 17 in grates to cover the full cooking area of a six-burner grill, avoiding gaps and uneven coverage.
• Easy to clean: The porcelain coating reduces sticking so most residues wipe off with a paper towel, making routine cleanup faster.
• Durable finish: The matte porcelain coating protects the cast iron from short-term moisture and normal grill use when cared for properly.

Who It's For

These grates suit owners of Nexgrill 6-burner Deluxe and Evolution series models who need a direct replacement for worn or warped factory grates. They are good for backyard cooks who value heat retention for searing steaks and who prefer the longevity and weight of cast iron over thinner metals.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who prefer lighter stainless steel grates or full porcelain-coated steel bars for zero maintenance, or anyone unwilling to follow basic cast iron care (dry immediately after washing and avoid prolonged submersion).

Pros & Cons

• Three-piece package covers the full cooking area of compatible six-burner Nexgrill models, offering value for money.

Cons

• As cast iron, the grates require attentive drying and storage to avoid long-term moisture damage.
