Bratwust burgers on the Stok grates

[1911Ron]

So i fired up the OTG with the Stok grates installed, to see how they worked.  I did Bratwurst burgers again as we really like them   I bought the Stok grates at Cabela's.  I used Stubbs natural briquets for the first time, i like them they get HOT!!  I started not even a full chimney and once going i put them in the baskets and closed the lid.  I came out with the food and the lid thermo was over 500deg this was with all the vents open, closed the bottom vent to about 1/2 open.  Ok enough chitchat and onto the pictures, sorry no plated pictures

IMO CI is the best grate. I love the sear marks it produces.

Did you buy pre-made brat burgers or did you start with brats and make burgers out of them? I think I have some raw brats in the freezer...

I agree about cast iron grates. Besides the cooking advantages the fact that they add mass to the grill really helps with the stability and even though a Weber  kettle is not very heavy it IS built to last and to me the only thing that needs to be upgraded is the grate. I have the grate that came with mine that has the fold up sides which is great( no pun intended ) but I do a lot of cooks with 5 quart cast iron dutch ovens and the weight makes the grate bow and my car parked on my cast iron grates won't make them bow!

They are pre-made frozen ones.

I saw the stok grates at cabelas locally. They have a few inserts as well. I have the charbroil ci grates. Do u have any of the stok inserts?  Stok grill looks cheap as shit but grates look nice.  Might have to revisit cabelas.
