Cast iron cooking grates

edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
Has anyone found/tried cast iron cooking grates on the BGE? I love the Egg, but the cast iron grates on my old Charbroil 940 were killer for searing. Where can I find them to fit the large BGE? Thanks.

    Ken M.,
    Stick with what works for you now. I have something in mind that will beat cast iron for steaks and can be used for pizza also. Its all coming up in the future from "The end of Rainbow Drive down the green brick road". Not even BGE has a hint.

    Ken M., Its one of my "accidental" finds. But I think it will be the wave of the future for all cookers. At least its potential is most interesting..Later!!

    Palisin, I am going to hold you all in suspense for a while. But from what I understand, this imparts a flavor to steak and burgers that is outa sight. I have to test it first and if it's true..then you all are in for a treat.
    Hang with me.. I hate the taste of shoe leather..:-)

    (No, its not Ghee or Olive oil but I bet they will work with it also)

    <p />Ken M.,[p]I cut out cast iron grates for my Small and Mini eggs. I also have a Large but kept my porcelain grill for it since I mostly use the Small and Mini for high temp work. Besides, I haven't found a cast iron replacement grate large enough to cut a grill out for the Large.[p]This evening, I just grilled some bs breasts on the Small. Five minutes at 400 on the first side, flip, dust with garlic powder and grill for another three minutes. Add a slice of provel cheese long enough to melt and they were simply scrumptious.[p]Carl T

    Carl T,
    Wow! Thanks for the pic. Looks great (grate?). Try putting a foil wrapped brick (no joke) on top of your bs breast while cooking for world champion grill marks. Found that the fire grates from my old charbroil 940 (I'm sure they still carry the part) fit the Big Egg. At 10" X 15.5" it leaves side gaps, but look forward to trying it.[p]Where did you get the grates for the small, how do you cut them?[p]Many thanks, Ken
