Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Barbecue Grill/Grate, 11" x 15"

New Life to Old Grill
First, the grill is as the image uploaded by Steven. Second, I disagree with the reviewer from Jupiter that "gas grills are a waste of money".

I have a 7-year old bottom of the chain gas grill, one with the 17-inch dual burners and a porcelain coated grill. It burned foods quite often and in the past two years I had been contemplating many newer versions with cast iron grate but they were all too big for my need. Holding down my tears, I forked out half the price of a similar new grill for a new heat plate and burner to get by, then I found this grate and could not be happier. Well, actually I could if they make it larger, say about 14x20 which still fits all standard grills while giving a lot more cooking surface. I withheld one star for this.

For cooking, the uneven flames produced by the cheap grill are now intercepted by the cast iron grate and spread out evenly. You can read elsewhere for what to be liked (sears, brown, ...) or disliked (maintenance,...

Lodge Won't Warp
I got tired of replacing warped grill plates, the accessory grills for cooking shrimp, scallops, and small vegies. The Lodge cast iron grill has not warped after several grillings at very high heat. And clean up is as easy as cleaning the main grill.

Great for Grill or Oven
I bought this grill at a local cookware store hoping it would improve barbecue grilling, and was very happy to find that it was just what we needed to make our Weber kettle a more versatile alternative to indoor cooking. It allowed us to grill perfectly cooked beef for fajitas, succulent shrimp, chicken, veggies and grilled bread for bruschetta. It's great for barbecuing smaller items that tend to fall through the standard BBQ grill. And if you're into presentation, it makes those lovely grill marks. I also love using it in the oven or under the broiler during winter months, placing it on a large, rimmed baking sheet to collect any drippings -- it works beautifully for grilled meats and vegetables, and makes stellar ribs and roasted corn-on-the-cob. Fairly easy to clean.
