Replacement Grill Grates for Nexgrill 720-1046 2-Pack - Cast Iron

In this review of the Replacement Parts for Nexgrill 5 Burner 720-1046 series, the bottom line is simple: these two matte cast iron cooking grates are for grill owners who need a direct, durable replacement to restore cooking performance. The reviewer found they are an obvious choice when a Nexgrill 720-1046 or 720-1046A grate is warped, missing, or worn; the 17 1/8in length and solid cast iron construction deliver consistent searing and heat retention, making them a practical fix to get a five-burner grill back to regular use.

Key Features

• 2-Pack matte cast iron: provides two matching cooking grates so both sides of a split grate arrangement can be replaced at once for even cooking surfaces.
• 17 1/8in dimension: matches the length used in Nexgrill 720-1046 and 720-1046A models, helping ensure a close fit and stable placement on the burner frame.
• Replacement compatibility: advertised as replacement parts for Nexgrill cooking grate number 120870001156, simplifying part selection for owners of the specified 5-burner grills.
• Cast iron cooking performance: heavy material retains heat for better searing and grill marks compared with thin plated grates, improving cooking results on steaks and vegetables.
• Easy to clean surface: the matte cast finish responds well to seasoning and scraping, so maintenance is straightforward with basic grill tools.

Who It's For

The replacement grates are best for owners of Nexgrill 5-burner grills 720-1046 or 720-1046A who want a like-for-like cast iron cooking surface to replace damaged or missing grates. They suit backyard cooks who value heat retention and sear capability and who are comfortable seasoning and maintaining cast iron.

People who should look elsewhere include owners of different Nexgrill models or those who need a stainless steel or porcelain-coated grate instead of cast iron, and buyers who require a custom-sized grate; be sure to confirm the 17 1/8in dimension before purchase.
