Ace Hardware carries the finest selection of grill grates and grids to help you master the art of grilling, regardless of what you're cooking. Whether you use a gas grill or a pellet grill, Ace can help you find the BBQ grill grate option for your cooking style and grilling appliance.

What Are Grill Grates Used For? 

A grill grid is the part of the grill that gets closest to your mouthwatering meats and veggies, creating those incredible sear marks everyone loves. Although often overlooked, BBQ grill grates are essential because they affect how your food cooks, can prevent food from sticking and provide excellent heat transfer.

What Makes a Good Replacement Grill Grate?

Deciding on a grill grate is a big decision because the one you pick will determine how you're able to cook your food. Because not all grill grates are created equally, here are a few things to look for in a quality grill grate.

Grill Rack Design

There are certain design elements worth considering about your grill grate. A charcoal grill grate may let you adjust the width and depth features for greater versatility. These hinged, charcoal grill adjustable grate designs are especially good for cooking with charcoal grills, allowing you to add more fuel with minimal disturbance to your cooking.

Other grill grates are thicker, providing good heat retention. Grates with tight spacing within the grids allow more searing power, increase the amount of flavor vaporization at the surface and help prevent food from falling inside your grill!

The Weight of the Grill Grid 

Stainless steel grill grates are lightweight and easier to maneuver. Heavier grill grates like cast iron and porcelain-coated cast iron are better at transferring conductive heat to your foods. The heavier the grate, the more consistent searing and better surface texture your foods should get.  

Grill Grate Materials

The type of material a grill rack is made from will influence its durability and performance. Ace offers grill racks made with the most prevalent materials for an optimal grilling experience, including stainless steel and cast iron. Although not as common, porcelain-coated cast iron grill grates are also available.

Stainless Steel Grill Grates

Heavy-duty stainless steel grill grates offer longevity and easy maintenance. Lightweight, durable, and resistant to rusting, their non-stick properties allow you to easily flip meats or veggies for a well-rounded cook. Stainless steel grill grates are a good option for both the beginner cook and the grill master. 

Cast Iron Grill Grates

If you want the very best in consistency and performance, cast iron grill grates won't fail to impress. Heavy and thick, cast-iron grill grates deliver well-heated, nicely seared meats and veggies to everyone’s delight. Additionally, a porcelain-enameled cast iron grill grate may help prevent rusting, but the regular maintenance and cleaning required to make these grill grates ideal for more experienced grillers.

Each has its advantages from nonstick surfaces and fantastic heat retention to easy-to-clean properties that make maintenance a breeze. The cost of these materials varies, and what’s right for you will depend on your circumstances, needs and preferences.
