Hongso 15in Cast Iron Grill Grates Set for Weber Spirit 200 Series

In this review the Hongso 15in cast iron grill grates are examined as a budget replacement for older Weber two-burner models with side-mounted controls. The bottom line: these matte cast-iron grates are for owners who need a direct, size-matching replacement and want strong heat retention and searing performance without paying original equipment prices. They fit a wide list of Weber and Kenmore model numbers but are intended only for Spirit 200 Series 2-burner grills with side controls, so double-check your existing grate dimensions before ordering.

Key Features

• Exact size fit: Each grate measures 15in x 11 1/4in so the set of two provides a 15in x 22 1/2in cooking surface that matches older Spirit two-burner layouts.
• Cast iron construction: Heavy cast iron holds and distributes heat evenly for consistent searing and grill marks across the cooking surface.
• Matte finish: The non-gloss surface helps reduce sticking and is straightforward to season and maintain with regular care.
• Wide model compatibility: Designed to replace a long list of Weber and Kenmore part numbers for side-control Spirit 200 Series 2-burner grills, simplifying sourcing for older units.
• Value option: Customers report comparable fit and function to OEM grates at a lower price, making them a good cost-saving replacement.

Who It's For

This set is best for owners of older Weber Spirit 200 Series two-burner gas grills with side-mounted controls who need a like-for-like replacement and value cast iron heat retention and searing. It is also a sensible purchase for people replacing worn or broken grates on compatible Kenmore models listed in the fit guide.

It is not appropriate for grills with front-mounted control panels or three-burner and larger models that require wider 17.5in grates. Buyers who want stainless-steel corrosion resistance rather than cast iron durability should consider other materials.
