Primo Grills Cast Iron Searing Grate

This half-moon grate is specifically designed to fit Primo Large Oval grills. It is not compatible with round or smaller oval models.

Yes, the half-moon design is intended for dual-zone cooking. You can place the cast iron grate on one side for high-heat searing while using the other side of your grill for indirect roasting or smoking.

Yes, because it is made of cast iron, you need to season it regularly to prevent rust and maintain a non-stick surface. After cleaning, always dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of cooking oil before storing.

Cast iron has superior heat retention compared to stainless steel, meaning it stays hot even when you place cold meat on it. This consistent, intense heat is what creates those deep, professional-grade sear marks and helps lock in juices.

Avoid the dishwasher, which can strip the seasoning and cause rust. Instead, scrub the grate with a stiff brush while it is still warm, rinse with hot water, and dry it immediately over low heat on the grill or stove.
