not to start a flame war or anything, but what are the benefits of the Craycort CI grates over the STOK universal 22.5" CI grate that is on amazon (and at home depot) for 39.99 ?
I'm a huge fan of CI grates. I think they're the best. One characteristic I would look for is the spacing of the bars. Here is my favorite:
The spacing of the bars is about the same as the width of the bars so it's great for doing veggies and stuff that likes to jump into the fire given wider spaced openings.
Better yet, the bars on this one are about 3/4" tall so that there is a lot of mass there to produce great grill marks. As a side benefit, the dimensions make it a perfect fit on a 22" kettle. I can even open the hinged portion of the grates.
Unfortunately I do not know where these can be purchased. They were on a fire pit in the yard when we moved in back in '87.
