Hongso 18 3/16 x 34 1/4 in Porcelain Cast Iron Grill Grates - Durable

In this review the Hongso porcelain enameled cast iron grates are assessed as a direct replacement set for Charbroil Performance 6 burner grills. The reviewer found them best for owners needing a heavy duty, like-for-like replacement that restores even heat and attractive sear marks. Fit and durability are the single biggest reasons to buy: the set replaces three larger grates plus one narrow grate to match the original layout, and the porcelain coating keeps maintenance straightforward compared with untreated cast iron.

Key Features

• Exact fit: Designed to match the three larger grates and one narrow grate layout so owners of Charbroil Performance 6 burner models can swap them without modification.
• Durable material: Porcelain enameled cast iron offers heavy duty construction that resists warping and extends the life of the cooking surface.
• Heat performance: The cast iron body conducts and holds heat evenly across the cooking surface for consistent sear marks and even cooking.
• Easy cleaning: The enamel finish wipes and soaks clean; gentle brushing after hot-water soak removes food residue without stripping the coating.
• Direct replacement models: Replaces original models listed so buyers can verify compatibility with their grill model before ordering.

Who It's For

The Hongso grill grates are ideal for owners of Charbroil Performance 6 burner grills who need a sturdy replacement set that restores even heat and strong grill marks. Backyard cooks who prefer a heavier, more durable grate and who are comfortable maintaining enameled cast iron will appreciate the weight and finish.

Those who should look elsewhere are buyers who require a different grate count or a non-enameled surface; also measure your original grates carefully since some customers reported the replacements can be slightly smaller than originals. If you need a custom size or a stainless steel style, consider other grate types.
