Can someone compare the use of these vs Grill Grates? Thanks!http://www.amazon.com/Four-13-75-GrillGrates-interlocking-Grate/dp/B003OIW0YY/

It looks like the Grill Grates are for cooking on, the Flare Busters go below the grates and reduce flare ups. You do not cook directly on them. I believe you are looking at two different things.

Can't do comparison, but I purchased them for my grill as replacements. They are very thin, but they work excellent for me, better than the others I had. The holes are very small and there is great reduction in flare ups that I used to get from my old ones. I really like them and glad I bought them.

They need to be used with the grill grates in place of the briquettes. We highly recommend. We spent about $350 on replacement parts for 15 year old grill and it is better now than when we first bought it. This, the new burner, and the stainless cooking grate really made a huge difference.

My grill wasn't mentioned either but after doing an image search of your grill I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Grates are for the most part the same. Mine are a little thick and have some weight to them and it works fine

Just get a grill cleaning brush. I use my brush to clean the grates after I use my grill and I've never had an issue getting anything off.

Can't tell you if they are the same as came with your grill - I don't know what grill you have! They are replacements for the grills that came with mine. They are heavier & thicker than my originals. Hold heat better and are easier to keep clean and oiled.

A porcelain grill grate will be better. A stainless steel grate will tend to lose it's "non-stick" capabilities faster over time than a porcelain coated steel. A stainless steel grate, however, will give you better "sear" marks on your food due to the better heat transfer, but, unless you are in the restaurant business, or don't mind the more-frequent replacement and you really want the sear marks to stand out, the porcelain grates will last longer!

I didn't realize there were different types if stainless Steele. You may want to ask the manufacturer. I can tell you that they are great for our BBQ grill island.

I have used the stove grate with the other side being the griddle and the grill. It does not matter. I think you could even use 2 stove grates.

Cannot help with this question. We seldom cook directly on the grates on any type of grill...rather in aluminum or baking pans. Mostly from the standpoint is that burning grease healthy for you and secondly, what a mess to clean up. Again, this is a great grill, quick to heat up, and gets food to the correct internal temp fast.

While I had the same question when I purchased my set I decided to purchase the grate. The grill is cast iron, is thick, and has a solid piece over the flame to distribute the heat through the grill for cooking food directly on it. I think it would take a very, very long time to boil water through the grill. The grate, however, allows the flame to heat the pot/kettle directly with the flame and will heat water or cook food in a pot more efficiently than through the grill. I appreciate that the BBQ has these accessories so that even though I have one "stove" camping I still have options for how I want to cook my food.

This is our third Weber grille. Very disappointed with the grates. Now, at the end of the second season, we ordered new grates as the originals were rusting, etc. After two weeks, they are already rusting. We are not using wire brushes on this one, and it still causes a problem. We are using a steamer to clean it now, but they already look bad. Very disappointed with this aspect. Otherwise it works good and looks great, but needs stainless steel grates, which are not available. Are you reading this Weber? Don't tell us to take the grille indoors, it's outdoor grille for heaven's sake!!! Either make them better or offer stainless replacements. This is our third Weber grille.

I only use the center part on my 18 1/2" Weber charcoal grill. It fits perfect and I absolutely LOVE it. It's perfect for grilling steaks. Believe me, the very first thing you will do if you buy one will to throw away that stupid wire grill that comes with every Weber barbeque. Those grill grates are worthless. I highly recommend this grill grate. The large grate fits the larger Weber and is 22 1/2". I hope that helps to answer your question.

sorry to say that is common withe these types of grills. green egg included. the easiest thing to do is coat with pam and then burn the grates every use. thats not fixing the problem it just cleans them. It's like having cast iron pans. you could bring them inside every use but that may be a hassle. sorry about the issu. :(

I haven't had too much trouble. If you do, just spray the grates with Pam before you begin cooking. Although I haven't had to do this. Thanks Dave

Mine was the shorter, which I didn't expect at the time I ordered. I called the vendor and they quickly assured my that it was the manufacturers decision to make the switch. Not 100% sure, but I believe my grill cooks hotter, and a bottle of gas lasts longer. My recommendation - don't worry about it being smaller.Good Grilling

I would say go with the cast iron, because that is what I have and it works very well. I bought a griddle and a regular new grate for my grill (both sides were old and very rusted and gross), and I must say that I am happy with both sides. Only thing that I don't care for is that it is made in China.
