SMOKEWARE Stainless Steel Grill Grate – Compatible with Medium Big Green Egg, Heavy Duty Gauge, 15-3/4 inches

High-quality stainless steel grate works and fits perfectly on my Oklahoma Joe’s bronco 2.0 drum smoker! Will definitely buy again if the other one that I bought wears out in the next few years!

A few years ago, I went to a local metal shop and had them fabricate this stainless steel fire pit for me, to my specifications. I've been using it mostly with extended forks and sharpened tree branches to roast wieners, marshmallows, chicken, and kabobs, but I wanted to be able to cook more things, like racks of ribs, steaks, burgers, or other things that are best cooked on a grill. This stainless steel, 2 ft. diameter grill fit perfectly, is very sturdy, well made, and as far as grills go, easy to clean. This product is well worth the money. Edit: Added a few pictures using the grill as it was intended.

Extremely solid grill grate. Nice welds on the joints and the finish of the stainless steel is very smooth for easy cleaning. Far superior to my original egg grate. With one caveat however. My medium green egg is somewhat old, as I bought it over a decade ago. When I put in in my egg on top the fire ring for direct cooking (not the plate setter or “convEGGtor“ as its called these days”) it had a fairly snug fit. Later on after cooking quite a few burgers I tried to remove the grate to add a little more lump and found it firmly stuck. It had expanded from the heat and was jammed in there tight. I had to pry it out to remove it and refused to put it back in for fear of cracking my egg. As I understand this is not an issue with newer eggs as apparently they are a bit larger inside. Its unfortunate because the grate is simply awesome. So well made and sturdy it might just last a lifetime of cooking. It just needs to be a wee bit smaller for older eggs. I had to return it and Smokware promptly refunded.

Solid product

This grate is very heavy gauge stainless and I believe will be around for many years to come. Well worth the investment.

There slightly less than 18” in diameter which was perfect for my case using 20” diameter pipe for a smoker. These worked out great for me.

Fit my large green egg perfectly. Very heavy steel

Bought this as a replacement for my XL Big Green Egg. So far, it hasn’t disappointed. Easy to wipe and clean. A little golden tarnish from the heat in places, but that is to be expected. The real criteria is the ease of wiping residual food products and this is much easier to clean than the black grate that came with my BGE. Oh, a good fit, as well. Rests sufficiently on the inner ceramic ring and yet with some adequate spacing for ease of removal. I’d buy it again, without hesitation!
