Food and Drink Cast iron grill grates...are they worth the money? - Page 2

**Bugeater** · 07-15-2011, 09:45 PM

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?
