cooking grates: Does the Spirit E-310 from Amazon come with porcelain coated cast iron grates like the Home Depot model?

I wish I knew for sure. I know the home depot one does - I saw it there a few days ago and it has porcelain coated cast iron. The problem on Amazon is that people are saying it comes with stainless grates even though the description says otherwise.

No it is not included you only get the 4 regular grates. Suggest you go to the manufactures website to see additional sections that can be purchased separately; http://www.cast-iron-grate.com/grates-for-weber-charcoal-grills/22-5-kettle-grills.html

Amazon always tells you whether an item is new or used. And you cannot go wrong with a Lodge brand cast iron product. They're positively the best. Beware of Chef Emeril's cast iron pans. They're made in China and the quality does not compare to Lodge. Buy it and enjoy it.

Patrick, the grates are not enameled, but plain cast iron grates. I am truly enjoying this grill. It is my first gas grill. Hope this helps.

Sorry my other message referred to the burner covers. This is the Gas Grill Grate Porcelain Coated Cast Iron Cooking Grid 62152 It measured 24 3/4 X 19 1/4 and fit perfect. Just have to search for match for your model and size.

The cooking grates are cast iron. They need to be correctly seasoned. Instruction for proper seasoning are included with the grill.

If you search online you can find that there are cast iron grates available for the 26.5" Weber. This is a great grill and worth the investment. You should not have to replace the stainless grill unless you get very angry and destroy it by slamming it down because you don't want to cook, LOL.

The grates are easier to clean than cast iron grates. The never come bright and shiny like they were when purchased. However, the can be scrubbed with plastic mesh pads with tough chunks of something. They get clean but not metal shiny. It hard work to get them really clean.The stainless finish gets fingerprints and crud like a stainless refrigerator with fingerprints. Being outside, its gets more crud and doesn't clean up as well. Still looks better than cast iron.

personally, I didn't think so. that's why I bought the E-310 rather than the E-330. keep in mind that the 330 comes with the sear feature and a side burner too. exclusive of the sear feature, you should ask yourself whether you want the side burner.

Lodge's plain cast iron is US-made. The enamel-coated Lodge products are Chinese.

Weber only makes them with a porcelain coating. it is a matte porcelain finish. it is not the shiny black porcelain finish. hopefully this answers your question.

Honestly,I don't know about that model. I was able to fine the replacement part number for my Weber from the Weber website. My grill came with the cast iron grates,I switched to the stainless and love them. I use a wire brush to clean my grill, I hope this helps...sorry I couldn't completely answer your question though.

Hi Jim It depends on what your grates is made from. Stainless steel and porcelain enamel coated grates are very durable; however, you need to take more care if they are made of cast iron. For cast iron grates, once you have finished cooking and have used the grill brush to scrape off all the food debris, you will want to apply a thin coat of oil to the whole grate using a basting brush or sprayer. This coating of oil will prevent rust by protecting the iron from moisture in the air. Also, before you cook, I recommend lubricating the grate with another coat of oil to make sure it is non stick. First of all, heat up to BBQ so that any of the old oil gets burnt off, then reapply a fresh coat. Best oil to use is peanut, since it has a very high smoke point, but vegetable and canola are good to. Make sure you avoid olive oil as it has a low smoke point, meaning it will 'burn' during cooking, leaving a bad taste. Hope that helps! Sarah Shaw Alpha Grillers Customer Support

This "looks" like the glass lid that goes with my 10.25 skillet. I bought the skillet and tempered glass lid from Amazon, but NOT as a set. I use them together all the time. It is better made than others I have because the nob on the top is "solid" and does not get water in it and have to be unscrewed to get the water out. Enjoy your Lodge cast iron! Evelyn

Honestly I do not remember. I am very pleased with the grates. They are heavy and fit perfectly. I would check my gril but my grill cover is loaded down with snow.

According to the Lodge website, the Seasoned Cast Iron Cookware is made in the U.S.A. like the skillet I purchased. However, the enamel coated cast iron cookware is made in China...
