Charbrofire Grill Grates Replacement for Bull Angus 5 Burner - Heavy

In this review of the Charbrofire 16517 grill grates replacement set, the bottom line is simple: these are solid, heavy duty stainless steel cooking grates for owners of Bull Angus and compatible grills who want durable, highheat grates that fit like the originals. The reviewer found the five 19 1/4 by 7 1/2 in grates to be noticeably thicker than typical wrapped alternatives, with 7mm solid rods that retain heat and produce even cooking results, making this set a straightforward replacement when original grates wear out.

Key Features

• Solid stainless steel rods: The grates are built from solid rods rather than thin stainless wrapped over steel, which improves longevity and resists flaking.
• Heavier, larger diameter rods: The 7mm rod diameter increases mass and heat retention, which helps sear and cook food more evenly across the surface.
• Five-piece modular design: Each piece measures 19 1/4 L x 7 1/2 W so you get precise coverage and easier handling for cleaning or placement.
• Direct compatibility: Labeled for original number 16517 and noted fits for several Bull Angus and Lion Premium models, reducing fitment guesswork for supported grills.
• Easy maintenance: The stainless finish is simple to clean and benefits from routine oiling before and after use to prolong life.

Who It's For

This set is best for owners of Bull Angus 5 burner grills and compatible Lion Premium grills who need a neardirect replacement with improved durability. It suits backyard cooks who value heat retention and want grates that create better sear marks and cook more evenly than thinner wrapped options.

It is less suitable for someone seeking custom or nonstandard grate sizes, as these are specified at 19 1/4 by 7 1/2 in per piece and are intended to replace original style grates. If you cannot confirm your grill model or original part number, contact the seller before purchasing.
