Kamado Joe Classic Joe Searing Grate

This grate is specifically designed for the Kamado Joe Classic series. It has an 18-inch diameter and is intended to fit into the Divide & Conquer flexible cooking system.

While you can, it is primarily engineered for high-heat searing. Because it is a half-moon shape, it works best when paired with a heat deflector on the other side, allowing you to sear on the cast iron while cooking more delicate items indirectly on the other half.

No, it is raw cast iron. It requires seasoning before its first use to build up a natural, non-stick patina over time, similar to a cast iron skillet.

It is not dishwasher safe. After use, clean it with a stiff brush while it is still warm, avoid soaking it in water, and always apply a light coat of cooking oil after cleaning to prevent rust.

Cast iron retains heat far better than stainless steel, which is essential for creating deep, professional-quality sear marks on steaks and chops. It essentially acts as a heat battery, transferring intense energy directly into the meat.
