What is a Grill Grate?
A grill grate is the grate that sits atop the heat source of the grill, onto which you place food for cooking. Although the other parts of the grill are important, you can’t barbecue in most cases without the grill grate. You can take any size grate, though, and build your own barbecue. Some people build temporary ones with a few levels of bricks and place a simple grate on top of it. Just be certain to place the temporary grill in a cleared area where there is no fire danger. Since there are so many sizes of grills, you’ll find numerous sizes of grill grates. Most barbecues will come with at least one, or several if your barbecue has different levels of grates. If you buy a used grill, you may need to replace the grill grates if they’re really filthy.
