The grates split and rusted after a while. I'd like to replace just the grates. Any ideas?

Check amazon lol. I was told by customer service that the grates are not seasoned and that they should be seasoned before using them. I've seen aluminum and steel plates that might fit as one piece, not two. I personally stay away from aluminum.

You might take the frames of the grates to a local welder and see if he/she could fashion new grates? Some high schools have welding classes and do these types of projects cheaply... Just a thought. Robbie

The grates like the body of the hibachi are CAST IRON. What you are experiencing comes from either moisture causing rust, or excess heat causing oxidation or BOTH. The very best thing you can do to prevent the problem is to care for those grates better than you have. FIRST use a stiff brass bristle brush to clean as much of the oxidized metal away. Second coat your grates with a good cooking oil BEFORE use. The more you can get to soak into the cast iron which is porous, the better. Watch your heat, cooking meats more slowly is usually better anyhow. Third, when you are done, brush cooking debris off the grates with the same brass bristle brush OVER the fire so it all incinerates. Coat the grates with cooking oil. Store in a dry location. Grates SHOULD last 5-10 years with good care. Order replacements from the manufacturer.

I would check out the local thrift stores. Or try Home Depot. I've seen replacement grates there but usually they are larger and for the Weber grill.

On 1st thought, I would contact Kay Home Products Customer Service @ 800-635-3831 for replacements. Other thoughts include thrift stores and yard/garage sales.

email or call broan, though i have not had problems with this product, after talking to them, they have mailed out free of charge replacement trim for another fan that had rusted; they may be able to mail out replacement foam or better!

The Main Burner Support bolts to the back of the grill and supports one end of each of the burners. It may or may not be in good shape on your existing grill, but mine was rusting/burned out. The bolts (which are NOT supplied in the replacement) are most likely impossible to remove intact, and will need to be hacksawed off. I replaced my bolts with stainless steel, but that is probably extravagent, as the grill itself probably won't last that long. Good luck.

If you're talking about the "grate" I believe you're talking about (where you'd put your charcoal..and has the handles on both sides) I personally found the Char-Griller replacement, expensive, especially shipping wise. But that's JUST me! I didn't replace mine, as the handles & where the handles attach to inside, were fine..the original grates twisted and snapped from some of the intense heat I put them through, so I'm not blaming Char-Grill by any means! My solution? Dollar store "metal racks" and/or other folks discarded BBQ, fridge or oven grates. As long as the metal your handles attach to, is holding up, think in terms of the grates themselves, the purpose they serve and you won't need the original. Hope this helps!

We have replaced ours several years ago and they work great. Make certain to measure the inside of yourgrill, realizing there is a little wiggle room depending on the width of ledge the grill sits on. I would first try and check the particular brand of grill you purchased and see whether replacements are available. As long as the inside measurements accommodate the two new grill measurements, go for it!

Yes. The legs are removable, so you could take them off and place it over the existing grates.

The flavorizer bars are breaking down, but that is not bad for 6 1/2 years. Also, i could probably replace the grate, but it still works. The burner looks fine, particularly for 6 1/2 years. On a cheap grill, i probably would have already gone through several burners. THe only thing I really have a problem with is the steel cabinet under the grill.

It appears your flavor grates have a built-in flap at both end(s). Mine do not, my Viking Grill has built-in "pegs" for these flavor grates to rest on. You may need to look at the part # - Music City Metals 94081, you will notice the flaps at both ends. Just measure your grill part to this one. I can attest to the quality of the ones I bought, they are better quality than what came with my Viking. These are heavier duty Stainless, the original was a thinner galvanized metal, which ended up rusting to pieces. I hope this helps. If you need any other help, please ask. Good Luck!

You have probably already found this but I saw them online at Home Depot. Mine isn't broken but needs freshening up so I'll get one there.

This site has them but the top and bottom are near $100; I can buy something new for almost that.http://www.appliancefactoryparts.com/gasgrillparts/brands/george-foreman/grp90wgr.html

Call Miller and ask. They were extremely nice when a part broke on mine. Metal waterers rust and plastic ones get green slime. Pick your hassle....

I have used mine sporadically. After 1 winter, the pizza grate itself is pretty rusty (stored in the unit when not used). Some other rust areas showing up around the edges. There is touch-up paint for that, which I haven't used yet. Can't say for sure what I am going to do about the rusty grate. It was working nicely for pizza, but I may have to use a pizza stone on top of the grate.

OK, I saw this answer from another poster and feel that his answer should be repeated. These are porcelain coated cast iron grates. If you want them to last, do not use any kind of metal brush on them. Here's what the other poster and I did. After grilling, turn the grill up high for about ten minutes so the stuff on the grill turns to ash. Let the grill totally cool. Then use a nylon bristle brush instead of a metal one. I brushed the grill, then went over it with a wet nylon brush, then wiped it clean with a paper towel. My last grate lasted about seven years. This method should help it last much longer.

yes, I would suggest that you spray a little of the dawn pot scrubber solution after taking the grates off and placing them on a flat surface. This baby will make them look good as new unless you've really neglected them in any case they will be clean. I am sure that you will be looking for other things to clean as well.

Look elsewhere. Its not worth the trouble. Trust me. It was rusting after 6 months. I'll try to post a picture.

I suggest you measure the grates currently installed and compare the size to the ones you plan on buying. I made the mistake of buying replacement grates only to find out there were multiple sizes. I had to return the wrong ones to Lowe's and buy the correct size. No help from Weber.
