In this review of the Grill Grates for Charbroil Performance 17 in, the bottom line is simple: these replacement cast iron grates are for owners who need a durable, heat-retaining cooking surface that matches original fit and searing performance. The reviewer found the parts fit a wide range of Charbroil models and similar grills, making them a practical choice for anyone replacing worn or damaged grids.

Key Features

• Exact fit for many Charbroil models: Replaces original parts like G426-0005-W1 and G426-0004-W1 so installation is straightforward on the listed Performance and Advantage grills.
• Durable cast iron construction: Matte cast iron resists wear better than fragile coatings and retains heat for consistent searing across the cooking surface.
• Broad model compatibility: Works with a wide set of Charbroil Performance, Advantage, Commercial and Gourmet Infrared models, plus some Kenmore and Broil King variants.
• Professional searing capability: Thick cast iron produces prominent sear marks and helps lock in juices on steaks and vegetables.
• Easy to clean when maintained: Customers report the surface scrapes and brushes clean more easily than crumbling enamel, reducing maintenance time after cooking.

This replacement grate is aimed at grill owners who have a Charbroil Performance 4 burner or compatible model and want a straightforward swap for the factory cooking grids.
