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?

This. I'm investing in a variety of cast iron - the price doesn't bother me anymore knowing they will last my lifetime and then some.

You know I hadn't thought about sanding them and starting over.....they're pretty rusty for steel wool, but I can have my dads lab at work blast clean them down to good metal....thanks for putting me on track.

Question about cast iron pans - after I use them, I rinse, wipe dry, oil (I use walnut so it doesn't go rancid), then put in oven while its still hot (upside down). Is there an easier cleaning method? Seems like I'm seasoning it with every use, and its kind of a pain in the ass.

You shouldn't need to season like that all the time. After I get done, I rinse (with a non abrasive scrub sponge and hot water), do a wipe down with oil and set it on the stove for 15-20 minutes. I wipe it out again and let it cool down overnight.

I'm seriously debating taking one of my younger pans and doing the flaxseed treatment. According to that article, I won't even need to do anything besides rinse it out.

I actually scrub mine with soap and water to get the big hunks out and as long as i dry them on the stove then apply a light coat of oil afterwards I have no issues.

Yeah I checked out their webpage, if can't find something that fits well I may go that route and just set that thing on top of my old grates.

You mean a grinder? Through cast iron? I really have no idea, I don't work with metal at all.

Yes. Pops left me a nice machine shop. Member the bandsaw you cut out your kids soapbox derby car on? That tool should work just fine.
You can do most anything to cast iron except weld it. you can weld cast-iron, but you need to pack it in lime & let it cool slowly for a day or so. & then its still not that strong.
