I grill probably 3 to 4 nights a week, so they definitely get some serious use.
Last week I was getting ready to order up another set of grates, when I came across "GrillGrates".

From what I read about them, the seem to be just what I am looking for. Aircraft grade aluminum with high peaks to keep the food away from the char. With even heat distribution.
I have some on order, should be hear Wednesday
I will post up how the work.
Anyone else use these?

Those of you who have not tried the Grillgrates, you need to try them!
They make grilling meat so easy. I miscounted on mine, I ordered 5, but needed six to fill my Charbroil Commercial grade. I grilled up some pork shoulder steaks first, those came out totally juicy. Then I did some marinated boneless skinless chicken breasts, with grilled corn on the cob and asparagus (cheated on the mushrooms did those on the stove) the chicken was moist. Even the wife could taste the difference!
Should have done this years ago, would have saved me a ton on grates.

I found them a BBQ site that was listing the top twenty finishers in a national BBQ contest. 13 of the top 20 were using them, so I started looking into what they were.
Since I needed new grates I figured I would give them a try.
The difference in taste and juiciness is substantial. Plus they get rid of hot and cold spots by distributing the heat better.

You might be able to make something similar
Sirmissalot, I put them right on top of my old grates.
Here is their sizing and ordering page, shows how most put them on top of old graates

Myth 4: Drinking out of aluminum cans or cooking in aluminum pots and pans can lead to Alzheimer’s disease.
Reality: During the 1960s and 1970s, aluminum emerged as a possible suspect in Alzheimer’s. This suspicion led to concern about exposure to aluminum through everyday sources such as pots and pans, beverage cans, antacids and antiperspirants. Since then, studies have failed to confirm any role for aluminum in causing Alzheimer’s. Experts today focus on other areas of research, and few believe that everyday sources of aluminum pose any threat.
educated myself :chuckle:

so Alchase, how are they working??
I love them, they are the single best improvement to my "grilling".
I have not tried them in the BBQ, and probably won't. But on the grill, man they do a great job. I really love the constant temperature, and how moist the meat is after grilling. My grill needed grates so the additional $20.00 over what my grates would have cost, is well worth it.
