Direct Store 17in Cast Iron Grill Grates for Nexgrill & Charbroil

In this review of the Direct Store DC104 17in grill grates, the bottom line is simple: these porcelain-coated cast iron grids are for grill owners who need a direct, solid replacement that restores cooking performance and searing. Our review finds the two-pack fits a range of Nexgrill, Charbroil and Kenmore models and offers a heavy, heat-retaining surface that improves grill marks and steady heat. Buyers should check original part size and model numbers before ordering to avoid fit issues.

Key Features

• Exact fit options: Replacement compatibility across numerous Nexgrill, Charbroil and Kenmore models helps customers replace worn or missing grates without modifying their grill.
• Cast iron construction: The polished porcelain coated cast iron holds heat well for even searing and consistent cooking performance.
• Two-pack convenience: The package includes two cooking grids that together cover a 17in x 26 1/2in cooking area so both halves of a multi-burner grate are replaced at once.
• Easy to clean surface: The porcelain coating largely simplifies cleanup compared with bare cast iron when maintained properly.
• Multiple original part replacements: Listed original part numbers and cross-compatible models make it straightforward to match the correct replacement part.

Who It's For

These grates are aimed at owners of compatible Nexgrill, Charbroil, Kenmore and other listed models who need a direct replacement to restore even heat distribution and better sear marks. They suit home cooks who prefer cast iron for heat retention and those replacing one or both halves of a 17in grill surface.

They are not the best choice for someone who wants maintenance-free stainless steel or who is unwilling to re-season or carefully handle cast iron. Also, buyers who cannot confirm model or size should look elsewhere until they can verify fit to avoid returns.
