Why...GRILL GRATES!!! ( of course
)
Seriously - I have folks ask me all of the time: " What else can I do to get the most out of my grill?" - I tell tell BUY GRILL GRATES. I have tested them on my pellet grill to see if they really collect heat then - direct it to the top of the Grill Grates - where we actually cook.
At a setting of 350F - I get nice grill marks! Try that sometime without them. You can't do it!
Anyone that is motivated to save fuel costs will understand the value in THIS aspect alone. Some pellet grills can consume 5 lbs. per hour in order to reach 500-600F. But, at 350F - the pellet consumption is about half that.
And...none of the above even starts to address all of the other great benefits of Grill grates. Durability, ease of cleaning, virtually zero flare ups, and the list could go on....
