Porcelain Cast Iron Grill Grates for Charbroil Performance - 4 Pack

In this review the Hongso porcelain coated cast iron grates are evaluated as a direct replacement for Charbroil Performance 5- and 6-burner grills. The bottom line: these grates are aimed at homeowners who need a durable, heat-retaining replacement that restores searing performance and grill marks. The review finds they fit specified Charbroil models, are heavy duty porcelain enameled cast iron, and provide an immediate improvement in heat retention and surface searing compared with worn factory grates.

Key Features

• Precise fit: Designed to match Charbroil Performance 5- and 6-burner models so installation is straightforward for compatible grills.
• Durable material: Made of heavy duty porcelain enameled cast iron to extend the life of the cooking surface and resist rust.
• Balanced set: The 4-pack includes one larger grate and three narrow grates to match original layout and restore full coverage across the cooking area.
• Heat retention: The cast iron construction heats evenly and retains heat well, helping produce clear sear marks and consistent cooking.
• Easy maintenance: Porcelain coating simplifies cleaning; soak in hot water with detergent and use a soft brush to remove residue.

Who It's For

This set is best for Charbroil Performance owners whose original grates are worn, heavily rusted, or broken and who want a like-for-like replacement that restores searing ability and heat retention. It suits backyard cooks who value grill marks and a stable cooking surface and are comfortable performing basic grate maintenance.

Those who should look elsewhere include users with non-compatible grill models or anyone seeking a stainless steel or non-enameled option. Also, if you prefer dishwasher-safe parts, these grates require hand cleaning and careful storage to protect the porcelain finish.
