   When I purchased my Weber Summit Charcoal Grill (love it!), I immediately invested in the sear grate accessory to work with Weber’s “Gourmet BBQ System.” It is a hefty piece of iron and by all accounts seems well-made to me, but I do regret getting it simply because there’s better ways to sear your meat. My preferred method is an iron skillet sitting directly on the grates. Another way I’d like to try is the “cold grate” method as seen on YouTube. Both of these will give you a UNIFORM sear on your meat (which is really what you want) rather the sear grate which will only sear the part of the meat that’s been in contact with it. Because it’s made of iron, that also makes cleanup a little more complicated and you’ll want to keep it seasoned from time to time. In short, it does what it says – it leaves lovely sear marks… but there’s better ways to sear your meat which are cheaper and require less upkeep. I’d pass on this accessory.

   Very heavy construction and fits my Master Weber Grill perfectly. The included instructions said to pre-heat to 500 degrees! Which I’ve found unnecessary. I just knock my coals down then put the sear grill down and cook my steaks as I always do. They come off the grill with perfect sear marks, just like at a steakhouse restaurant.

   I do rub some olive oil on the sear grill berfore putting it over the coals to prevent any steak sticking to it.

   I bought this to use after cooking my steak via sous-vide. I placed this grate on top on a charcoal chimney starter and waited for the charcoal to heat up.

   Ended up with a great crust and perfect grill marks.

   Easy to clean….after it cools down. 😉

   My husband (who is the one who uses it) absolutely loves this insert into our bbq grill. It’s heavy and provides a robust cooking surface and fits perfectly into the lighter outer grill. Very pleased.

    Pros: Heavy duty grate that works well with the Weber Gourmet setup. You really get those steakhouse sear marks. I put my vortex underneath it burning kingsford, then a couple chunks of hickory stuffed in as well. Always wiped it down with some vegetable oil or olive oil. Cons: It’s now mid December in the Midwest, the weather has put a dent in my Weber grilling and smoking time. Was able to fire up one of the Kettles a couple weeks ago and it started rusting. My method with this thing after has been scrub it off with the grill brush after use. Your mileage may vary.

    **UPDATE: 7/28/2018 The grate had to be thrown out after 4 years due to the porcelain cracking severely and iron rusting through, but that’s after grilling a steak on it almost weekly. I brushed it each use, but never took it off and really cleaned it, and I failed to oil it after the first 6 months. Considering all that, I feel it was well worth the money spent. Had I regularly cleaned and oiled it, I imagine it would be in fine shape. While the stainless insert works, it doesn’t sear nearly as well as this cast iron so I’m considering buying a new one. I now reverse sear our steaks, first cooking on my pellet smoker to ~120 degrees, then searing on the Weber to 130 or so. Perfect! Purchased the Weber BBQ System Sear Grate after ordering, but before receiving, the BBQ System Stainless Steel grates for my Genesis E-310. I was replacing the porcelain cast iron cooking grates that came with my Genesis, but lasted only 1.5 years before corroding and rusting out. I could have replaced them under Weber’s 5 year warranty on the grates, but wanted to change to stainless steel for durability. However, I liked the heat and cooking of cast iron. When I saw the Gourmet BBQ System it seemed like the possibility of having the best of both worlds. Both the stainless steel primary grates and this cast iron sear grate are excellent so far. While I’ve only used them a few times the sear grate works exactly as I had hoped – perfectly searing my meats with great grill marks, and honestly, I cook steaks on the sear grate completely. Only other meats do I first sear, then move to another area of the grill onto the stainless steel surface. I did take a little extra step and season the cast iron sear grate in the oven for an hour before first use, and will probably continue to at least oil my meats before grilling, and perhaps add some oil to the sear grate direction (after cooking) at times to try and help fight off any moisture and maximize its longevity. I love the idea of Weber’s Gourmet BBQ System, the high-quality stainless steel main grates, this cast iron sear grate, and I hope to try a couple of the other inserts as well. Bravo Weber – job well done (again)!
