This is a set of hard-anodized aluminum GrillGrate panels sized for a 22-inch Weber or Napoleon kettle. The panels are reversible: rails up gives you sear marks and a hot conductive surface, flipped over gives you a near-solid griddle for anything that would fall through a grate.
The point is flare-up control. Fat drips into the valleys rather than onto the coals, then vaporizes back up as smoke instead of fire, so chicken thighs and burgers stop torching. Aluminum conducts far better than steel, so the panels run hotter and more evenly than the grate underneath them.
GrillGrate has manufactured its grates in Cartersville, Georgia since 2007, and the panels are hard-anodized so they will not rust.
