I have the same cooking grate. It's great for the things that it's great at ... WoK, Vortex, etc. If you have the stamina, then you'll soon master it where it works best. In my BBQ Kitchen I have several cooking grates. Each is used for the type of cook that suites it best. Mostly SS, but an oldie once it a while. Over time your "BBQ Accessories" may rival your partners collection of shoes :O
