I bought 4 of these grates last week using the Amazon link below:

I wiped the new grate down with a small amount of Dawn and then rinsed them. Placed on the grill at nearly 500 degrees while I was getting the chicken ready. Nothing spectacular, just some boneless chicken breasts. Rubbed in olive oil and hit with kosher salt and black pepper they went on the grill.
I spun the grate so the chicks were direct for the rest of the cook. Used Stubbs sauce and they were good. I don't have a metal grill brush. I've read some stories of wire bristles sticking to grates and ending up in food. I use this to clean the grates:
