Hisencn 16 4/9ft Cast Iron Cooking Grates for Dyna Glo and Kenmore

In this review the Hisencn 16 4/9' cast iron cooking grates are evaluated as a direct replacement option for several Dyna Glo, Kenmore, Uniflame and Backyard gas grill models. The bottom line: these grates are for grill owners who need a heavy-duty replacement that restores searing performance and heat retention, provided they match the original part size and model. Our review finds the grates deliver excellent sear marks and even heat thanks to cast iron construction, while customer feedback shows mixed impressions on long-term rust resistance.

Key Features

• Exact replacement fit: Designed for Dyna Glo 4-burner models and many Kenmore models so it can replace deteriorated grates without modification when sizes match.
• Cast iron construction: Heavy-duty iron promotes rapid heat rise and even heat retention, which helps food sear and lock in juices.
• Professional sear marks: The thick ridged surface produces clear sear lines that improve appearance and flavor of meats.
• Porcelain-enamel finish: A glossy coating reduces sticking and makes routine cleaning with soap and hot water easier.
• Clear sizing guidance: Each grate measures 16 4/9' x 9 1/4' and the full set measures 16 4/9' x 27 3/4', helping buyers confirm compatibility before purchase.

Who It's For

These grates are best for owners of the listed Dyna Glo, Kenmore, Uniflame or Backyard grill models who need a like-for-like replacement and want to restore searing performance. They suit people who prefer cast iron for heat retention and the classic grilled finish on proteins and vegetables.

Those who want a completely maintenance-free option or have concerns about long-term rust should look elsewhere; some buyers report mixed rust resistance and varying durability, so if corrosion resistance is the priority a stainless or heavier-coated grate may be a better choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good replacement value for compatible Dyna Glo and Kenmore models and restores original grilling performance.
• Cast iron produces strong sear marks and helps food retain moisture for juicier results.
• Porcelain-enamel coating improves cleanup and reduces food sticking compared with bare iron.

Cons

• Mixed customer reports on rust resistance and long-term durability mean some users may see early corrosion.
• Heavier weight and cast iron care needs require periodic maintenance to avoid rust.
