Charbrofire Grill Grates for Weber Spirit 200 Series - Heavy Cast Iron

In this review the Charbrofire grill grates are evaluated as a direct replacement for Weber Spirit 200 and Spirit II 200 series grills. The bottom line: these matte enamel cast iron grates are for home cooks who want improved heat retention and heavier, durable cooking surfaces that match the original form factor. The single biggest reason to buy is the upgraded, larger diameter solid rods that provide more even heat distribution and a noticeably weighty, long-lasting feel compared with thinner or porcelain-coated replacements.

Key Features

• Material: Matte enamel cast iron construction provides high heat retention and long service life when maintained properly.
• Design: Upgraded heavier, larger diameter solid rods give more even heat distribution and a sturdy cooking surface for searing.
• Fit: Sized to replace original Weber Spirit 200 and Spirit II 200 series grates for a direct fit on specified models.
• Durability: Cast iron matte enamel resists chipping that can affect porcelain-coated grates and stands up to frequent use.
• Dimensions: Each cooking grate measures about 17.5 in x 10.2 in, with a two-piece set totaling approximately 17.5 in x 20.5 in for both grates.
• Care: Rubbing oil on the grates before and after use and using non-metallic tools extends life and keeps the matte enamel surface healthy.

Who It's For

These grates are aimed at owners of Weber Spirit 200 and Spirit II 200 series grills from around 2013 to current who want a heavier, more heat-retentive replacement that closely matches the original grate footprint. Grillers who value searing performance, even heat distribution, and a robust feel will appreciate the matte enamel cast iron and the upgraded solid rods.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of grill models outside the listed Spirit 200/Spirit II 200 family or cooks who prefer stainless steel or thinner porcelain-coated bars for lighter weight and lower maintenance. Also, if a perfectly glossy porcelain finish is essential, these matte enamel grates will not match that aesthetic.
