Three polished porcelain-coated grids totaling 472 square inches, the cheapest cast iron here.
What we would actually buy Three porcelain-coated grids for thirty-two dollars — four hundred and seventy-two square inches, which is the cheapest cast iron on this shelf at under seven cents an inch. It also tells you to measure your old parts first.
The cheapest cast iron on this shelf, and the arithmetic is worth laying out because the shelf mixes sets and single parts:
So the $20.99 Broil King looks like the entry price and is not: three of them for a three-burner grill come to about $63 for 324 square inches.
This is the genuine cheap option, at a quarter of the Weber Crafted per inch.
Nothing in the listing claims a quality advantage. It is a generic replacement rather than a branded one, which is the usual reason for the gap.
“Make sure you measure the size of your original parts and compare with ours BEFORE you order.”
For a replacement part that is the whole job, and most listings on this shelf bury it under model numbers instead.
The dimensions you need are published plainly: 16-7/8 × 9-5/16 inches each. So are the compatible part numbers — G432-001N-W1, G432-0002-W1, G432-1800-W1, G432-4300-01, 80008076, 80018599.
It lists about forty Charbroil models plus Master Chef, Kenmore Sears, Backyard Grill and a Thermos — and no incompatibilities.
Only QuliMetal on this shelf publishes a negative: not compatible with Genesis Silver A, and did not fit Genesis II LX.
On a replacement part, one honest negative is worth twenty more positives. A long list of models that fit tells you nothing about the one you own unless it is on the list.
Porcelain enamel is glass fused to cast iron at high temperature. Out of the kiln it carries a faint orange-peel texture; polishing smooths it, so food releases more easily and a grill brush does not catch.
The trade is the one QuliMetal argues on this shelf: enamel sears slightly less hard, because a glass layer sits between the iron and the food.
In exchange, it does not rust — and bare cast iron does, which is why COGRICHBF publishes a standing-water limit and KAMaster six anti-rust tips. Enamel’s own weakness is chipping, and a chip rusts.
The care instruction here is for the coating, not against rust: preheat on high for 15 minutes and brush clean.
No weight, so the casting thickness cannot be placed against the grates that do publish one — EasiBBQ at 18.1 grams per square inch, Broil King 16.8, Weber Crafted 15.6, Aura 10.0.
No warranty, like every grate on this shelf.
On sale at around $32 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

Because it is a three-grid set priced like a single part, and because the shelf mixes the two. The arithmetic: $31.99 for three grids totaling 16-7/8 × 27-15/16 inches — about 472 square inches, or 6.8 cents a square inch. Next on the shelf is the COGRICHBF two-pack at 8.0 cents, then QuliMetal at 9.6. At the other end, the Weber Crafted set is 27.7 cents — four times this — and the Broil King, which looks like the cheap one at $20.99, is one grid of 108 square inches, so three of them come to about $63. Nothing in this listing explains a quality difference; it is a generic replacement part rather than a branded one, which is the usual reason.
By measuring, which is exactly what the listing tells you to do — and that advice is the most useful sentence on it. "Make sure you measure the size of your original parts and compare with ours BEFORE you order." The published dimensions are 16-7/8 × 9-5/16 inches each, and the compatible part numbers are listed: G432-001N-W1, G432-0002-W1, G432-1800-W1, G432-4300-01, 80008076, 80018599. The model list runs to roughly forty Charbroil numbers plus Master Chef, Kenmore Sears, Backyard Grill and a Thermos. What it does not publish is any incompatibility, where QuliMetal on this shelf names two — "not compatible with Genesis Silver A" and "did not fit Genesis II LX". On a replacement part, a negative list is worth more than twenty more positives.
That the coating has been smoothed after firing, which affects release and cleaning rather than heat. Porcelain enamel on cast iron is glass fused to the metal at high temperature, and as it comes out of the kiln it has a slight orange-peel texture. Polishing it leaves a smoother face that food releases from more easily and that a grill brush cleans without catching. The EasiBBQ grate on this shelf is also "polished porcelain coated", and Aura calls its enamel "non-stick". The trade against bare cast iron is the one QuliMetal argues on this shelf: enamel sears slightly less hard because there is a glass layer between the iron and the food — but it does not rust, and bare iron does. Enamel’s weakness is chipping, and a chip rusts.
Close prices, same category: comparable cookware and knives. We keep only the specifications all of them publish, because a column with gaps compares nothing.
