I kept seeing @Ross in Ventura posting beautiful food with Grill Grates in them. Broke down this week and got one. Well, they sure do make nice grill marks! Here's the virgin grates, nice NY strip with DP Cow Lick and some thick sliced onion and eggplant. Thanks for looking.

I have had mine for almost a year now and I don't cook a steak or burgers without them. Defiantly helps with flair ups when cooking burgers. The tongs are great and I need a new one. I tired to use it to lift something heavy and hot off the grill and broke them.
Note to self, use the proper tool for the job next time.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo. -
I am anxious to use the flat side of the grill grates as I've seen done on YouTube. Anyone here tried that yet with burgers or fajita fixins?

I see on Youtube you can cook bacon on the flat side as well.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo. -
Food looks great. I really like my GrillGrates. I just wish they made them to fit the entire grid. You loose some grilling real estate with these.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

I've never looked into them before. I like the flare up reducing factor.

Maybe if I buy only to fit the medium I could use on it and the large, just wouldn't have the space.------------------------------

just paint the grill marks on. or photoshop!I also like that basket someone posted that fits on a ring between the firebox and fire ring. I think a smaller volume of charcoal right below the grill wound be good.
soooo many accessories for this flower pot cooker

I agree it is not much space lost but I think it would be an improvement if they could make these to fit the entire grid. It cuts the grilling capacity down by at least a couple of burgers.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -
@pgprescott , I actually emailed the own of GG's ..(he answers every email pronto) and asked him about fitting the GG's to fit the whole pit - in this case a BGE, he said the GG's need plenty of airflow to work efficiently, so that's why they don't do this.I've slow smoked and eaten so much pork, I'm legally recognized as being part swine - Chatsworth Ca.

I'm a fan. I can't wait to really put them to work. I've only just messed around to date. -
I have them for my XL and never really noticing them having that much room around the edges. With the XL it comes with 4 sections not 3. The big advantage of them is you don't have to get the egg way up over 500 to grill a steak. I take my XL to about 400-450 and on the GG it will read 500 to 600 sometimes. Plenty of temp to grill a steak. I used to take the egg up to 650-700 to grill a steak, this way i can keep it more under control. I also have use a broke in half plate setter and half a GG to do a reverse sear. Makes it easier when just cooking for a few.
