Setup and Installation

Before installing your new grill grates, ensure your grill is completely cool and disconnected from its fuel source.

1. Remove Old Grates: Carefully lift and remove the existing grill grates from your barbecue. If they are hot, use heat-resistant gloves.
2. Clean Grill Interior: Take this opportunity to clean any debris, grease, or rust from the inside of your grill, especially around the burner area and heat tents.
3. Position New Grates: Place the new BBQration cast iron grates onto the grill supports. Ensure they sit flat and are properly aligned. The grates are designed to fit snugly within the cooking area.

The dimensions of each grate are approximately 17 inches by 12 1/4 inches, with a total cooking surface of 17 x 24 1/2 inches when both grates are used. These are direct replacements for Nexgrill cooking grate part numbers #13000409A0 and NXC 13000409A0.

Operating Instructions

Once installed, your new cast iron grill grates are ready for use. Cast iron retains heat exceptionally well, providing even cooking and excellent sear marks.

• Preheating: Always preheat your grill with the lid closed for 10-15 minutes to allow the cast iron grates to reach the desired cooking temperature. This ensures even heat distribution and prevents food from sticking.
• Cooking: Place food directly on the hot grates. The high heat retention of cast iron will create professional-grade sear marks.
• Heat Distribution: Observe the flames under the grates to ensure proper heat distribution across the cooking surface.

Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your cast iron grill grates and ensure optimal cooking performance.

• Cleaning After Use: After each use, while the grates are still warm, use a grill brush to scrape off any food residue. For stubborn spots, you can use a grill scraper. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners that can strip the seasoning.
• Seasoning: Cast iron grates benefit from regular seasoning. After cleaning and drying, apply a thin layer of high smoke point cooking oil (like vegetable oil or flaxseed oil) to all surfaces of the grates. Heat the grates in the grill for about an hour at a moderate temperature (around 350-400°F or 175-200°C) until the oil bakes onto the surface, creating a protective, non-stick layer.
• Storage: Store grates in a dry environment to prevent rust. If storing for extended periods, ensure they are clean and well-seasoned.
• Rust Prevention: If rust appears, scrub it off with a stiff brush or steel wool, then wash, dry thoroughly, and re-season the grates immediately.
