[gchappel]

I have used them for years. On my grill, 3/4 of the grill are the grates, about 1/4 is the flat griddle.
Well made.
I "think" I get better sear marks- but not a big difference.
Less flareups.
They are more difficult to clean.
Delicate meats, like salmon, don't like the elevated grates. I cook those on the griddle part and then a cedar plank.
I would get them again.
