Kamado Joe Half Moon Cast Iron Grill Grate for 24 in Big Joe

When i ordered my Joe i knew i wanted cast iron grates, ordered these immediately. I've used 2 of these grates for 8 years and you would think i just received them today. They clean easily, have never had any food stick to them and i wouldn't grill without them.

I love these grates so much. They really do well at retaining heat and come back up to temperature right away.

With proper care (seasoning and occasional oiling), this cast iron grate will last for years, if not decades. Heat Retention: Searing Power Like No Other If you love a restaurant-quality crust on your steaks, burgers, or chops, this grate is a game changer. Cast iron is known for its exceptional heat retention, meaning once it gets hot, it stays hot—perfect for high-heat searing. This translates to deep, flavorful grill marks and a superior Maillard reaction, locking in juices and intensifying flavors.

The combination of versatility, durability, and incredible heat retention makes it a standout accessory that transforms how you cook. Whether you're searing, grilling, or setting up multi-zone cooking, this grate adds an entirely new dimension to your kamado cooking experience.
