Charbrofire Grill Grates Replacement Set for Charbroil Performance

In this review the Charbrofire grill grates are evaluated as a straightforward replacement set for Charbroil performance 4- and 5-burner gas grills. The bottom line: these matte enamel cast iron grates are best for home grillers who want stronger heat retention and better searing than porcelain-coated options, and the three-piece pack makes it easy to swap damaged sections without replacing an entire cooking surface. Fit and material are the single biggest reasons to buy if the model numbers listed match your grill.

Key Features

• Matte enamel cast iron: delivers solid heat retention so food sears quickly and cooks more evenly across the grate surface.
• Upgraded heavier rods: larger diameter solid rods and smaller rod spacing increase contact area for better grill marks and durability.
• Three-piece set: includes two larger grates and one narrow grate to match common Charbroil layouts for easy replacement of worn sections.
• Direct compatibility: listed to fit many Charbroil Performance models so buyers can replace specific model grates without modifying the grill.
• Durable finish: matte enamel helps prevent the rapid chipping seen on thin porcelain coatings, preserving cooking performance when maintained properly.

Who It's For

This set is aimed at backyard cooks and weekend grillers who own a compatible Charbroil Performance 4- or 5-burner grill and want a cast iron surface that holds heat for searing steaks, burgers, and vegetables. It is also useful for anyone repairing a grill grate section without ordering an entire new top.

Those who prefer a lifetime rust-proof finish or expect zero maintenance should look elsewhere; cast iron with enamel requires care and occasional seasoning to limit surface rust and keep the finish in good condition.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent heat retention for faster searing and more even cooking than thin coated grates.
• Good value as a three-piece replacement set for common Charbroil models, making targeted repairs easy.
• Heavier, larger-diameter rods feel more substantial than many aftermarket alternatives.

Cons

• Cast iron requires regular maintenance and seasoning to reduce the risk of rust; some users report early surface rust without care.
