The WEBER CRAFTED sear grate is available as an accessory (sold separately) for your GENESIS
barbecue. It imprints a restaurant quality, criss-cross pattern on your food with less effort.
The sear grate fits neatly into the WEBER CRAFTED frame kit and sits directly above the sear burner.
The sear grate is constructed of cast iron coated in porcelain enamel. The cast iron gives you even heat

Double sided in design, the side with the thick bars is for cooking steaks whilst the reverse side with
thinner bars is designed for for cooking more delicate foods such as fish, vegetables and fruit.
