Grill Grates for Nexgrill Replacement Parts 5 Burner - Cast Iron

In this review the Grill Grates for Nexgrill replacement parts are evaluated for backyard cooks who need a durable, heat-retaining set of cooking grates. These matte cast iron grates come as a 2 pack sized 17in x 13 1/4in each (17in x 26 1/2in total) and are aimed at owners of several Nexgrill and compatible models. The single biggest reason to buy is the material: solid cast iron that retains heat and produces strong sear marks, which is the main practical improvement over thin or porcelain enameled replacements.

Key Features

• Dimensions: Each grate measures 17in x 13 1/4in and the pair covers 17in x 26 1/2in, so buyers can confirm fit before ordering.
• Material: Matte cast iron construction retains heat well and helps achieve consistent searing across the cooking surface.
• Package contents: The set includes two cooking grates, making it a convenient full-surface replacement for compatible 4 and 5 burner models.
• Compatibility: Direct replacement fit for multiple Nexgrill models and a range of other grill brands, simplifying sourcing for older or discontinued part numbers.
• Durability: Cast iron resists chipping compared with porcelain enameled surfaces and is easier to re-season and maintain for long-term use.

Who It's For

The grates are best for Nexgrill owners who want a heavy, heat-retaining replacement that delivers professional sear marks and a more robust cooking surface than thin stamped steel or enameled options. They also suit owners of compatible Charbroil, Cuisinart, Kenmore and other listed grills who need a full two-piece replacement.

Those who prefer maintenance-free, rust-proof grates might look elsewhere: cast iron requires seasoning and drying after use to avoid surface rust. Buyers who need exact OEM branding or factory packaging should verify the original part numbers listed before purchasing.
