- Hinged Access: Add fuel or smoke wood during the cook without disturbing your setup.

What’s the benefit of porcelainized cast iron?
It traps and transfers heat extremely well for strong sear marks and even cooking, while the porcelain finish helps with stick resistance and cleanup.
How do the hinges help during longer cooks?
The hinged panels lift so you can add charcoal or wood chunks, or refill a water pan, without removing the entire cooking surface.
Do I need to season this grate?
Porcelainized cast iron does not require traditional seasoning. Lightly oil the surface before the first cook and after cleaning to maintain performance.
Can I use it for smoking as well as grilling?
Absolutely. The hinged design makes it easy to add smoking wood mid-cook for consistent smoke production.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
