G460-0500-W1 Cooking Grate Replacement for Char Broil 2-Burner Grills

In this review of the G460-0500-W1 cooking grate replacement, the bottom line is simple: this is a no-nonsense cast iron replacement for owners of Char Broil 2-burner and some 3-4 burner grills who need a durable, heat-retaining cooking surface. The reviewer found the matte enamel cast iron construction delivers even heat distribution and seasoning benefits that improve with use, making it a practical choice for people who regularly grill meats and want a long-lasting, easy-to-clean grate. Check part numbers and size before ordering to ensure fit.

Key Features

• Matte enamel cast iron: Provides a hard, protective finish that resists cracking and chipping while reducing rust risk.
• Even heat retention: Cast iron holds and distributes heat across the whole surface, helping sear meats and maintain steady cooking temperatures.
• Seasoning-friendly surface: The grates improve with regular seasoning and cleaning, leading to better nonstick performance over time.
• Broad compatibility: Fits many Char Broil Performance, Gourmet, Classic, Advantage, Thermos, and Red Infrared 2-burner models and select 3- and 4-burner sets when paired.
• Two-piece set size: Delivered as 2 pcs, each 16 15/16 in x 8 5/16 in, covering 16 15/16 in x 16 5/8 in total for typical 2-burner grills.

Who It's For

This replacement is best for Char Broil owners who need an affordable, durable cooking grate that behaves like original cast iron parts and who value even heat and the ability to season grates for improved performance. It suits regular backyard grillers who cook chicken, steaks, and vegetables and who prefer the sear and heat retention that cast iron provides.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners who cannot match the listed part numbers or measurements, and casual users who prefer lighter, stainless steel or porcelain-coated grates that require less maintenance. Buyers concerned about exact length should compare the 16 15/16 in dimensions to their original parts before purchase.
