Style: Cooking Grate, Cast Iron
Kamado Joe cast iron grill grates are a perfect companion for your Kamado Joe grill. While not a necessity for outstanding Kamado grill flavor which your Kamado Joe already provides what these cast iron grates do provide is that crowning expert touch of perfect grill marks on any food you prepare upon them. The secret is the cast iron heats up hotter and holds more heat along the broader grill rails leaving broader sear marks on your food. For sexier meat try turning the meat a quarter turn half way through each sides cook. This will leave a very nice diaganol grill sear on your meat. Be forewarned these cast iron grill grates require extra care and do NOT come preseasoned. If not properly seasoned and cared for the grates can rust so you will want to take necessary steps to keep them in optimal condition for many years of use. To preseason the cast iron grill grates simply apply a liberal coat of peanut oil fully coating the cast iron from both sides and heat them either on your Kamado Joe or in an oven. I decided to perform the seasoning process on the Kamado Joe but more on that and general care in a moment. I recommend and used peanut oil because it typically withstands higher heat levels before flashover and therefore I believe it would be a better over all durable seasoning for these grates considering some cooks may require hotter temperatures. Now let's talk about the steps to season the cast iron grates. This is also a good time to mention each cast iron grate does come with a long cast iron grate tool with leather strap for hanging it on your grill's utensil hook. It's purpose is for removing hot cast iron grates around on your grill, repositioning the grate height or fully removing the grates when hot. Now initially seasoning your new cast iron grates is very important and necessary. To do this on your Kamado Joe you will want to build a fire in your grill and allow your grill to come up to a temprature of 350 degrees. Once this has occurred allow it to settle at that temperature for a short period as to get the vent controls to maintain the 350 degree temperature. Upon lighting your fire set in your grilling appliance and set both grill deflectors in place as the seasoning process will be performed over indirect heat as to not allow an open flame to kiss your cast iron grates burning off any oil. Also as you don't want to cook off any of the seasoning so high temperature is not recommended nor will it create a better cure. To season the cast iron grate apply cooking oil liberally at room temperature. As mentioned I used peanut oil and once the grate is fully lathered you can lightly wipe any drips as the grate just needs to be fully coated. Once the grill temprature is sustained at 350 degrees open the grill lid, place your cast iron grill grate at the top position on the grill appliance, close the lid and allow the cast iron grate to season for about an hour while maintaining a constant 350 degree temperature. After an hour you can use your cast iron grill tool to remove the cast iron grill grate and allow it to cool naturally. I recommend repeating the seasoning process to ensure the cast iron grill grate is well seasoned. Upon completing the second season you can simply shut off the air vents on your Kamado Joe and allow the cast iron grates to cool down in place as the grill snuffs out the fire and your cast iron grate(s) will be ready for use. The cast iron grill grates will require some extra attention after each cook but if your follow the seasoning directions above and cook regularly on your Kamado Joe grill using them they may be a little forgiving. However I recommend keeping a stiff brush like a small paint brush or food brush along with some peanut oil and coat the cast iron often. I often start my grill, use a stiff plastic grill brush before the grilling surface becomes hot and coat the cast iron with peanut oil using the stiff food brush allowing the grill to come up to cooking temperature for 45 minutes to an hour before placing any food upon it. Thus far the process has kept the grates clean and seasoned.

I have a Grill Dome Kamado Grill, that I've had for 10 years. Two years ago the inside of the grill needed an upgrade - the Grill Dome accessories were enameled covered steel which was rusting. The lodge cast iron pan I was using for a heat deflector was also rusting. So when I was looking to rehab my wonderful Kamado, I came across Kamado Joe's Flexible cooking system. I was hooked. I wound up buying the Flexible cooking rack, a couple of the stainless halfmoon grills, the halfmoon Cast Iron grill, the halfmoon cast iron griddle along with the deflectors. I am very happy with this set up. I primarily use the stainless grills for all indirect cooking. When I do the Sear part of the Reverse Sear when grilling steaks I break out the cast iron. This is a well thought out system and well made. Wirebrushing the Flexible Cooking Rack for the first time since last fall, it looks very shiny. They also sell a halfmoon piece of stone. Not sure how often I'd use it, but nice idea. The pieces fit fairly well in my Grill Dome. I do season the cast iron with Lagnan Flax Oil, The first year a few times, but usually just at the beginning of grilling season. New bottle arrives in next Subscribe and Save

Works great on my Kamado Joe. I don't personally find a huge difference between this and the regular grate, but I caught it on a good deal and am pleased.

I haven't used my stainless steel cooking surface since my wife got me these grates for Christmas. They are heavy, so they don't move around while you are working - even if you try to pick something up that you let stick a little... Heat retention is good, so you get awesome sear marks. I don't worry at all about cranking the grill up to 700F for searing with these grates in. These grates are reversible. They are triangular on one side (like you are probably used to seeing). However, if you turn them over, they are flat. I use the flat side for things like burgers.

This is a very high quality grate and fits nicely in my KJ. I threw some steaks on it for my first use and it worked wonderfully while also giving those great grill marks. Only reason for 4 stars is it's pretty expensive for 1 grate.

I can finally sear! I have been wanted to get those perfect looking sear marks on my steaks but the stainless steel grates weren't cutting it. i bought the cast iron great and it was exactly what i needed. Fits perfectly in the kamado Joe II. I have been using the reverse sear method of cooking the steak within 15 degrees of target temp, pull out the meat and crank up the heat on the kamado. Set the steak back on the cast iron grill for a minute on each side until it hits target temp. Bam, Perfect grill marks!
