The Cast Iron Grate XL is a grill grate made of cast iron with a diameter of 49.5 cm, specifically designed for 23-inch (58 cm) Kamado grills. Made from high-quality cast iron, this grill grate offers superior heat retention and distribution compared to standard grill grates. The material withstands higher temperatures and maintains consistent heat levels even when loaded with food, enhancing searing capability and creating distinct grill marks. Its robust construction supports heavier foods than conventional grill grates. Proper seasoning is required before first use, which includes thorough cleaning, heating to 160-200°C for an extended period, and applying food-safe oils to form a protective layer. The black surface and durable design ensure long-lasting performance for outdoor use. This replacement grate fits most 23-inch Kamado models, with specific grill measurements recommended for optimal compatibility.
