Overall these grates work reasonably well. The spacing between the bars could be smaller, I've had a few pieces of fish want to slip through. Also, the fit to the grill is not very tight. When I brush the grates they move out of place a bit. The porcelain coating does seem to be holding up well. I'd rate them a 3 out of 5.I did notice that while the online ad clearly calls these stainless steel, the packaging did not. Actually, the packaging is generic and states they could be made from "chrome steel wire", :steel wire" or "cast iron".
Overall, a cheap choice for replacement grates that seem to do a reasonable job.
A lot less money than from Charbroil

So I was debating between getting these or the OEM ones direct from Charbroil (which are 3 times the price) and I decided to give these a try. They fit the grill perfectly and even if I get a few years out of them and have to buy them again, it will still wind up being cheaper than buying the originals. I find that if I keep them Olive Oiled up before and after grilling, they tend to never need a major cleaning.These grates are pretty good, but definitely not as nice as the cast iron type, so I still kept my old grates, just in case I want to really sear meat. These grates are definitely easier to clean than the cast iron grates, though. At least I didn't have to spend $100 and I was still able to get some decent grates to cook on.
