Kamado Joe Cast Iron Grate

This grate is designed for the Kamado Joe Classic Joe (18-inch) and Big Joe (24-inch) series. It is also compatible with select Big Green Egg models that accommodate standard 18-inch or 24-inch round accessories.

Cast iron offers superior heat retention and conductivity compared to stainless steel. This allows it to get much hotter, which is essential for achieving professional-grade sear marks and developing a deep, flavorful crust on your meats.

Yes. Because of the half-moon design, you can use this grate on one side of your grill while keeping a standard grate or a heat deflector on the other. This setup allows you to sear on one side while roasting or smoking on the other.

To maintain the grate, clean it with a stiff brush after the grill has cooled. Avoid using harsh soaps or soaking it in water; instead, lightly coat the surface with a high-smoke-point oil after cleaning to prevent rust and maintain the seasoning.

While it is primarily designed for searing meats, it works well for hearty vegetables like asparagus or bell peppers. For more delicate items that might fall through the grates, you may prefer using a flat griddle or a grill basket.
