Grill Grates 18 in for Charbroil Performance 2 Burner - Cast Iron

Our review of these Grill Grates 18 in for Charbroil Performance 2 Burner finds them best suited for owners looking to replace worn or thin factory grates with a heavier cast iron option. The single biggest reason to buy is the cast iron construction, which retains heat and produces superior sear marks compared with thinner factory pieces; anyone who values searing and even heat across the cooking surface will appreciate the change. Installation is straightforward on compatible Charbroil Performance models, and the 2-pack configuration gives immediate coverage for a 2-burner layout or spare parts for future use.

Key Features

• Exact fit for multiple models: Designed to fit Charbroil Performance 2 burner model numbers listed, making replacement straightforward for those grills.
• Cast iron material: Durable matte cast iron holds and distributes heat evenly for better searing and crust formation on steaks and vegetables.
• Dimensions matched to the grill: Each set totals 18 in x 15.8 in so buyers can verify fit using the stated overall size before purchase.
• Rust resistance when maintained: The matte cast iron finish is more robust than thin coatings if the grates are seasoned and stored properly to reduce corrosion.
• Two-pack convenience: Includes 2 grates to replace both cooking sections or to keep a spare, simplifying mid-season swaps.

Who It's For

This product is aimed at owners of Charbroil Performance 2 burner grills who need a durable replacement set that improves heat retention and searing performance. Grillers who regularly cook steaks, chops or firm vegetables and want visible sear marks and steady surface temperature will get the most from these cast iron grates.

It is not ideal for buyers who want fully enamel-coated grates or a maintenance-free option; cast iron requires routine seasoning and careful storage to avoid rust. If you prefer no-maintenance porcelain-coated grates, look elsewhere.
