This is what I am somewhat confused about. I have had porcelain
covered grates that broke down and rusted (from a Broil King bbq).
Their replacements did the same in very short order ( in less than 2
years). So I am a bit off porcelain covered grates. How does one
distinguish between a good quality porcelain covered grate and a not-
so-good one?

Good ones are heavier castins with thicker coatings of the frit. Aside from
hoefully getting more by paing more, you can't easily tell if a coating is
durable from appearance alone. I do know that my grates are damned heavy
and still in perfect condition. I've never seen the Broil King close up.


Still lean towards to SS, simply because
of the corrosion issue, but have yet to find any information as to how
long one can expect this type of grate to last.

Should outlast us if it is a good alloy.
