Well I need to replace my grates. Wondering what the deal is. All the reviews seem to be positive other than cleaning

What makes cleaning difficult? How do you clean?

Should I replace all the grates or leave some of the old grates?

I have not had any problem cleaning mine, the spatula included does the job fairly well. I think the trick is to get them seasoned well before throwing stuff with lots of marinade on the grates.

FAQ from the Grillgrate website...... "Should I replace my existing grates with GrillGrates or simply place them on top of my grates? Which is better?

We are seeing a lot more people going the replacement route with gas grills. GrillGrates work fine going on top of your existing surface. Having some space in the back of the grill or on the sides is OK. GrillGrates will run hotter because they trap heat. If you want to remove your old grates because they are rusted and/or unusable, just be careful that by covering more grill surface and having less area for heat to escape the grill will run hotter. Your grill will be more efficient. Just watch your temps."

Just be warned that they ARE aluminum and aluminum will melt at 1125°. A Keg owner left his keg unattended and wsnt off after grilling burgers. When he arrived back home along with damage to the Keg he had melted globs of aluminum that were previously Grillgrates.

I'm not saying that will happen to everyone but just know you do have to not let your grill completely "rocket take off hot".

I have some myself I use on my Keg occasionally and have no problems with them.

For cleaning I soak them in warm soapy water and scrub.

Yes, I bought these with a Yoder (this actually has the look of their site or rather their online sales division ATTBQ.com), they work great and I just throw them in a sink of hot water or pressure wash accordingly.

And yes the spatula is designed to work with them and does so very well, I honestly don't clean each and every time, just as needed for what won't burn off.

Mine just came in.
I'm as giddy as a school girl, about grilling this weekend!

Yes, I have 2 sets. Definitely my favorite accessory for any grill.

Worth every penny. Supposedly creates infrared cooking 2-3 inches above the surface. Can grill a whole spatchcock chicken in about 35 minutes. Foolproof enough that the wife can even use it. Very hard to produce meat that's dried out, especially if you are a fan of brining.

I keep looking at them for my BGE but haven't pulled the trigger.
