Cast iron grill grates...are they worth the money?
I'm rebuilding a Weber gas grill I got for free off Craigslist a while back that some dumbass gutted and used for a charcoal grill. I see Home Depot has three different types of cooking grates for them, stainless steel, porcelain coated cast iron and porcelain coated steel. The stainless and cast iron are more than double the price of the steel, but are they really any better?

I know Fire Me Boy is a big fan of cast iron, but since it's porcelain coated just like the steel isn't it basically the same surface? What about stainless?

Thoughts? Experiences?

I love cast iron grates. They hold the heat much better and allow you to cook with far less fuel.

Huh, I suppose that means they probably work better when I go out in the winter and fire up the grill in 10° temperatures.

Look, I'm a little confused by the OP, bug, Just don't play with fire once you get your plan in place.

cast iron hold the heat much better so when you throw that steak on there it still gets a nice sear without having to wait.

If I may say this here, charcoal still makes a damn tasty burger, last weekend at my girls house, we did up some burgers w/ provolone. Very nice touch, it'd been yrs. since i'd tasted a charcoal cooked meat.

Feels good man

Check these out. Heard about them on Mike O'meara show. They have "troughs" to catch the grease to avoid flare-ups.

Whoa whoa....... Nobody and I mean nobody is saying that gas is the preferred method. It never was and never shall be. Charcoal/wood is the only way to properly cook meat if you want the full delicious flavor that was intended. Gas is for quick lazy cooking. Nothing wrong with that, but charcoal/wood is the method you use for full flavor.

As Kingsford says...... "Slow down and grill..."
