Hello all,
It appears that the general consensus on GrillGrates is good. I generally grill on my gasser, a Weber 3 burner Genesis Silver, if details help. I am an avid fan of the Maillard reaction and now I grill most foods by flipping and rotating the meat onto a different section of the grate so it can be hotter (not recently cooled by the meat).
I believe the GGs go OVER your existing grates? To me, it seems like they won't get as hot because air is a poor conductor of heat, and there would be little contact between the old and new grates to give much conduction. Plus they add about another 2" in height, making the cooking surface that much further away from the burners.
Does it make sense to alter the fit of the GGs so they fit into the grill's natural slots and omit the factory grates? What about removing the factory grates and putting the GGs over the "flavorizer bars" (pyramid-shaped covers that protect the burner) which are right over the burners? Also, do you grill with them cover on, or cover off, and why?
I hope this isn't too many questions...I'm interested in what you all have to say.
TIA.
