I was considering purchasing a new gas grill but in the end decide to rebuild my current gill with new burners and a new valve, etc. It was much more cost effective than replacement with the savings then applied to a dedicated smoker. The only problem with this was that I wouldn’t be able to have dedicated high temperature sear station with my current grill so I’ve invested in a set of grill grates to boost my current grills surface temperature using grill grates. So far, so good with my new grill grates as it does exactly what it said it would by boosting temperatures. I often cook steaks using the sous vide method and sear them on my grill at maximum temperature. With the new grill grates, I get much higher temperatures and achieve a much better sear than I did before which is essential for steaks prepared using a sous vide method. Miraculously flare ups have also been nearly eliminated just as advertised. So far, I’m very happy with their performance and the only reason I didn’t give them five stars is that they are relatively expensive. Knowing what I know now, if I had to do it again I would replace only half the cooking surface (and not the whole surface) since that is all I’ve used so far. One additional recommendation, my current brushes will only clean the surface of the grates (and not into the valleys) so I plan to buy the dedicated brush sold for them and would recommend everyone to purchase them with your new grates and save the shipping later.
