Criditpid Grill Replacement Parts for Char Griller Models - Exact Fit

In this review of the Criditpid grill replacement parts kit, the bottom line is simple: it is a straightforward, budget-friendly way to restore an older Char Griller or King Griller gas grill to near-original performance. The set includes three matte cast iron grates and three porcelain steel heat plates sized to match common Char Griller models, and it delivers a clear improvement in heat distribution and cooking surface. For anyone with a 5050, 5650, 3001, 3030, 4000, 5072 or compatible King Griller, this kit is worth considering as a direct-fit replacement that looks and cooks like the original.

Key Features

• Exact-fit compatibility: Designed to fit Char Griller models 5050, 5650, 5072, 3001, 3008, 3030, 4000, 4208 and 5252 as well as King Griller 3008 and 5252, making replacement straightforward.
• Cast iron cooking grates: Each grate is heavy duty matte cast iron and provides solid heat retention and searing performance for better grill marks and even cooking.
• Porcelain steel heat plates: The heat tents measure 18 15/16 in x 3 7/8 in and help spread heat across the burners while protecting them from drips.
• Durability focus: The matte cast iron is more resistant to flaking than porcelain-coated grates and the porcelain steel plates offer good corrosion and heat resistance.
• Complete 3-pack set: The package includes 3 grates (19 3/4 in x 6 3/4 in each) and 3 heat plates so you replace the full cooking surface and heat tents at once.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at grill owners who need a full set of replacement parts for older Char Griller or King Griller gas grills and want parts that match the original dimensions and part numbers CG2121 and 100325. It is especially useful for people who value heavier cast iron grates for searing and who want the convenience of replacing all grates and heat plates together.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of non-compatible grill models or buyers seeking stainless steel grates or long-term rust-proof warranties; some users have reported rust resistance concerns over extended use, so if absolute corrosion immunity is essential, consider other materials or more heavily coated options.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Heavy duty matte cast iron grates offer improved heat retention and searing compared with thin porcelain-coated options.
• Exact-fit dimensions for a wide list of Char Griller and King Griller models make installation quick and painless.
• Porcelain steel heat plates provide reliable heat distribution and protect burners from drips.

Cons

• Some customers report rust resistance issues over time, so proper seasoning and maintenance are required to prolong life.
• Matte cast iron requires regular care (seasoning and drying) to prevent corrosion, unlike stainless options.
