17in Grill Grates for Nexgrill and Charbroil - Cast Iron 2-Pack

In this review the reviewer looks at a practical replacement set of 17in grill grates designed for a variety of Nexgrill, Charbroil and compatible grills. The bottom line: these matte cast iron grates are for homeowners who need a direct-fit replacement that improves heat retention and produces classic sear marks. They suit users who value durability and ease of maintenance over lightweight or enamel-coated alternatives, and the set reviewed here delivers solid build quality and a reassuringly heavy feel.

Key Features

• Direct fit: Each 17in x 13 1/4in grate (17in x 26 1/2in total for the pair) is sized to match many Nexgrill, Charbroil and Kenmore models for straightforward replacement.
• Cast iron construction: Matte cast iron offers excellent heat retention and even distribution, which helps achieve consistent searing across the cooking surface.
• Durable finish: Well constructed and resistant to high grill temperatures so the grates hold up to regular use and seasonal cooking.
• Easy to maintain: Customers report these grates clean up readily after soaking with soap and scrubbing with a soft brush, then drying completely before storage.
• Two-pack convenience: The pair replaces the original two-piece grate layout and saves time sourcing individual parts.
• Wide compatibility: Works with many specific Nexgrill, Charbroil, Kenmore and other branded models, reducing the chance of fit issues when the size and model match.

Who It's For

This product suits homeowners who need a robust, long-lasting replacement for original grates on Nexgrill 4- and 5-burner models as well as certain Charbroil and Kenmore grills. It is especially appropriate for people who prefer the heat characteristics of cast iron and want a grate that helps create sear marks and maintains temperature during long cooks.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers seeking lightweight stainless steel grates or porcelain-coated options that require less seasoning and lower initial maintenance. Also confirm your original grate dimensions and model before purchase, because compatibility depends on matching the listed model numbers and size.
