The ones that come with are coated steel. There are heavier stainless steel ones and enamel coated cast iron ones too.

Any one tried the enameled iron grates.

GrillGrates for Weber SmokeFire EX4 | GrillGrate

We call them “sear stations†for a reason. They trap and concentrate heat and conduct it up the rails for great searing while the valleys sizzle juices for added flavor. GrillGrates typically add 100 degrees or more at the grate surface on pellet grills, making them the ultimate upgrade to...

They are the same grates used in Weber gas grills. Used by thousands and thousands of people.

Concur with Goneingognito - grab some GrillGrates. You won't use them all the time - but they really focus the heat when you want it. Also - they can be flipped over to make something of a flat griddle-like surface.

I’m a huge fan of grill grates as well. I have two sets I’ve used on other pellet grills and a BGE. The Smokefire is so awesome at searing that I’ve never even used them on the Smokefire. They do as advertised. I would not want them for everyday bbqing though. I have never removed my cooking grids from the cookers. I always just place them over the stock or standard cooking grids.

JpsBBQ: For the BGE - which option did you buy - I'm looking for a B'day gift for my BiL who tends to load up his BGE with everything but really needs something on the 'side' to sear the protein.

They make them specifically for the Egg. Just need the size and decide if you want 1/2 set or whole set. They clip the corners so they fit in the round cooker.

What are the advantages of the porcelain grates.

What are the advantages of the porcelain grates.

They are cast iron with porcelain coating. They will cook like cast iron without the rust and maintenance. Clean up easily. All the Weber cast iron accessories are porcelain coated. They seem to hold up incredibly well. I’m a huge fan of porcelain coated cast iron cookware too.

I am using the cast iron grates from an E300 I believe.

That's correct. The grates from the Spirit 300 series fit the Smokefire.
