I bought a charbroil gas grill about 8 months ago.
It was fairly economical for a grill of it's size (around
$200.oo), had stainless cover, the rest powder coated.
But it was a large sq.in. grill area which is what I needed.
However it was the first cast iron grate grill I had ever
tried and I was wondering if it might stick. Well the first
few times I used it I sprayed pam cooking oil on the grates
and heated it to cure them. I never really had much of a
sticking problem even then if I got the grate really hot
before applying meat and then left it alone till seared.
  The grill works great! And I can preheat it as hot as
I desire for a really good sear when I first put the meat
on. The cast iron grates won't warp from high heat like
the wire coated ones I've used before. I have nothing
but good to say about cast iron grates. I will always
search for cast iron grates for any future grill.



Glad that you're having good experiences with yours, at least so far.
If you live in a humid area, such as the northeastern US, good luck preventing the rusting of said grates. I threw mine out and got porcelain-enameled grates that work just as well.
