I got some cast iron grates for Christmas and I'm looking for tips and ideas on how to use them.
Thanks.

And did you get cast iron grids? Anyway, heat 'em up and sear some steak or chicken or chops, almost anything except brats.....Good luck.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

They are the Half Moon Griddles. Sorry for the confusion.

I just got my cast iron grate through BGE for large. Do most ppl use it with the flat portion touching the meat or with the pointed portion touching the meat? To clarify, the cast iron grid has different design on bottom from top, what is recommended?

Sorry, I thought you said you had a griddle. A flat surface piece of CI. I guess I have no idea what you have.Flint, Michigan

I have the BGE CI grates for my XL. I use them tapered side up for steaks and the flat side works great for burgers and meatloaf. The ground meat doesn't fall through the flat side so easily.A poor widows son.

I bought CI from BGE for both my large and small eggs. I feel that the added mass helps keep the temps more stable. I use them for everything, I now have not used the wire grates for anything since the cast iorn came along. I cook steak, chicken, etc with the narrow side up, I use the flat side for most all other cooks.
