Charbroil Grill Grates Replacement for Advantage Series - Even Heat

In this review of the Charbroil-compatible replacement grates, the bottom line is clear: these cast iron grates are aimed at owners of Charbroil Advantage, Gas2Coal, Performance and other compatible models who want solid heat retention and reliable sear marks without buying a whole new grate assembly. The reviewer found these grates deliver even heat distribution and a heavy matte cast iron feel that suits regular grilling, while advising careful sizing checks before purchase. Overall a practical replacement option for users prioritizing heat retention and a quality sear.

Key Features

• Thick cast iron construction: Thick matte cast iron holds and distributes heat evenly to produce consistent sears across the cooking surface.
• Fast heat response: The material heats quickly so the grate reaches cooking temperature without long warm-up times.
• Durable surface: The solid cast iron resists scratching in everyday use and is designed for long-lasting service.
• Simple seasoning: Oiling and brushing after use helps maintain a natural nonstick surface and protects the grates from corrosion.
• Wide compatibility: Fits many Charbroil models and part numbers from Advantage, Gas2Coal, Performance, Thermos and Classic lines for straightforward replacement.
• Three-piece pack: Supplied as a set of three grates with combined dimension of 16 15/16 x 24 15/16 in for coverage of multi-burner cooktops.

Who It's For

This product is best for Charbroil grill owners who need a direct replacement grate set for models listed in the compatibility notes and who prefer cast iron for searing steaks, chicken or vegetables. It is also a good choice for users who want to restore a worn cooking surface without replacing the entire grill.

Those who want a stainless steel, lightweight or rust-immune option should look elsewhere; customers sensitive to maintenance or who dislike periodic seasoning and oiling may prefer a different grate material. Always compare the grate dimensions and your grill's part number before ordering.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• Requires regular seasoning and oiling to develop and maintain the nonstick finish.
• Some users reported mixed results on rust resistance, so additional care may be needed in humid conditions.
