ckreef Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 The prize for winning the Guru Italian challenge was a set of Grill Grates. Me and Brad (from Grill Grates) came up with a good configuration. They are sectional so they can fit my 16" main grate or any of my 19" grates. I won't post the full review I did but I really like this after market set of grates. Allows for direct heat grilling while keeping most of the drippings from going down into the KK. They also come with a kewl grate tool that allows you to get up under your food and lift it straight up to flip. (perfect system for whole fish cooks) Anyway here are my initial cooks using the Grill Grates. Really small leg quarters (it's what I had). Burgers using the grate tool. The back 2 are feta burgers. Whole fish. This system with the grate tool worked really well for flipping the fish without tearing up the skin. Lastly a few chicken legs on the 16" Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 That was quite the test you gave those grates and everything looks very tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeramicChef Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Charles - beautiful pics of the Grill Grates in action! Gorgeous chicken, fish, and burgers! I was about to ask you if those Grill Grates were no being shipped to prize winners in a gold color when it dawned on me that you were just breaking them in and that the color would get considerably darker over time. I hope you like your Grill Grates as much as I do mine. Grill Grates and my ThermaPen are the BEST accessories to my KK equipment. Well worth every cent and more. Congrats and kudos on some very fine cooks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 This seems like the logical place, so I'm going to jump in here. I don't mean to hijack ckreef's wonderful thread, but .... @DennisLinkletter - does Brad over at Grill Grates have the various grate sizes for the KK main grates? I have an old set that fit my Primo XL and I use them on TheBeast, but I'd like to get some GrillGrates custom cut that fit TheBeast. Now, back to our regularly scheduled admiration of ckreef's crazy good chicken cook! Really nice cook, Charles! Kudos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 does Brad over at Grill Grates have the various grate sizes for the KK main grates? I talked to Brad for a while on two different phone calls ....... The simple answer is ...... No he doesn't have the grate sizes. . But for me the main grate size is irrelevant. He needs to know the Sear grate sizes. If it fits on the Sear grate it fits everywhere else. Since Grill Grates come in sections it only took me and Brad a minute or two to figure what pieces would make the correct size. I'm sure that would be true at least up to the 23". Of course it might be a little different for the 32" or 42". Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 @ckreef - thanks, Buddy. I appreciate the info. I'll break out my measuring tape tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only drawback is they can slide around on each other. Brad at Grill Grates did mention that they were trying to come up with some type of clip but haven't tested a design they really like.

Reef's Bistro Yeah that is the only poblem I see with them .clips would be good can you put them on a lower great so they are a bit more snug to the sides and adjust the temp that's what I do on the Joe have no idea with a kk Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that position they are a tighter fit. A loose fit when I use them in other positions. Reef's Bistro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Ora Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 OK I found on the top if I was not careful they would slide around anyway they are a great product leave the best grill marks I know that is not everything but when you want to show off to mate it's everything lol Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Off hand I don't remember, I would have to measure them. It was 2 end panels and a middle panel just can't remember the length. One day I'm going to buy a new bigger set. Have them welded into 2 pieces and cut to fit without having to have the grate installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
