SG528 19 1/2in Stainless Steel Cooking Grates 2-Pack - Solid 304 Rods

In this review of the SG528 2-pack cooking grates, the bottom line is clear: these are aimed at grill owners who need a durable, sanitary replacement that fits specific Weber, DCS and Uniflame models. The reviewer found the primary reason to buy is the use of solid 7 mm 304 stainless steel rods, which give the grates a noticeably heavy feel and make them easier to clean compared with thinner or hollow alternatives. Measure your original grates before ordering, but if dimensions match, these deliver a robust, food-grade option.

Key Features

• Exact fit: Designed to match a wide range of Weber Genesis models and several DCS and Uniflame grills so swapping is straightforward when sizes align.
• Solid construction: Built from full solid rods, 7 mm in diameter, offering greater rigidity and a heavier feel than hollow-tube grates.
• Food grade steel: Made from 100% 304 stainless steel and SGS tested to meet FDA-related standards for food contact.
• Cleaning advantage: Smooth stainless surfaces wipe and scrub clean more easily than cast or enamelled grates in routine use.
• Two-grate set: Includes two grates that combine to 19 1/2in x 25 1/2in total, covering standard cooking areas for the listed grill models.
• Cross rod layout: Each grate has 18 cross rods to support food evenly and provide consistent sear lines.

Who It's For

These grates are best for owners of Weber Genesis E-310, E-320, E-330, EP and S series grills as well as specified DCS 27-series and Uniflame Wellington models who want a sanitary, long-lasting replacement made from 304 stainless steel. They suit home grillers who prefer heavier, solid-rod construction for durability and easier maintenance.

If you have a grill with different dimensions or want cast-iron heat retention and nonstick seasoning, look elsewhere; these grates prioritize stainless sanitary construction and straight rods rather than the heat-holding or nonstick properties of cast iron.
