Worn cooking grates leave food sticking to the metal and make it tough to get even heat. When you replace them, the choice usually comes down to the grill family, the grate material, and the surface you actually need. These four outdoor cooking grates span gas and pellet grills, with different shapes, sizes, and price points. The right pick starts with matching the model names, then weighing the size and material against how you cook.

Product Notes
Stainless Steel Traeger/Pit Boss Grate Set
Shown as a three-pack with a total cooking area of 739.42 square inches, this set pairs polished stainless steel with a pellet firing system. It is sized to fit Traeger 34 Series Pellet and Pit Boss 1000 XL/1100 Pro models, and the pieces break down into two 12 3/8 x 19 1/4 grates plus one 19 1/4 x 10 3/8 piece. The polished stainless steel is a good match for pellet-grill owners who want a larger, connected cooking surface. The catch is the specific fit list: it is designed for those pellet grill families, so it will not be the first pick for a gas grill or a pellet grill outside that size range.
AOG 24-Inch Stainless Steel Grates
The stainless steel set for AOG 24-inch grills includes compatibility with American Outdoor Grill models such as 24NB, 24NG, 24NP, 24PC, 24NBL, 24NBT, 24PCL, and 24-B-11. It uses 7.0 mm solid rods and weighs 10.91 pounds, with package dimensions of 18 x 11.8 x 3 inches. If you own a 24-inch AOG unit in that model family, this is the most direct match among the four. The trade-off is the highest listed price in the group, so it makes sense when the AOG fit is exactly what you need.
Kenmore Cast Iron Grate Set
This cast iron replacement set is built around Kenmore 6-burner gas grills, specifically models 146.47223610, 146.23681310, and 146.23766310. Each grate measures 16.5 x 10 1/4 inches, and together they create a 525.75 square inch cooking surface. Cast iron offers strong heat retention, which works well for searing on a gas grill. The limitation is model specificity: the fit is designed around those Kenmore models, not a generic 16.5-inch grate.
Expert Grill 3-Burner Cooking Grid
Made of porcelain steel and sized at 22 11/16 x 13 5/16 inches, this cooking grid is listed for the Expert Grill XG 3-burner gas grill. It carries the lowest listed price in the group and offers a 297 square inch cooking area, which is the smallest surface shown here. For an Expert Grill XG 3-burner owner who just needs a replacement grid, this is the model-specific match at the lowest listed price. The limitation is the narrower fit: it is aimed at that specific grill family rather than a multi-brand assortment.
Decision Matrix
- Choose the Stainless Steel Traeger/Pit Boss Grate Set if you need three stainless pieces for a pellet grill in the Traeger 34 Series or Pit Boss 1000 XL/1100 Pro family.
- Choose the AOG 24-Inch Stainless Steel Grates if you own one of the listed AOG 24-inch models and want 7.0 mm stainless steel construction.
- Choose the Kenmore Cast Iron Grate Set if you cook on a Kenmore 6-burner and prefer cast iron for heat retention.
- Choose the Expert Grill 3-Burner Cooking Grid if you have an Expert Grill XG 3-burner and want the lowest listed price.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
Start by matching the grate to the grill family. For a Traeger 34 Series pellet grill or a Pit Boss 1000 XL/1100 Pro, the stainless steel three-piece set is the clear fit. For AOG 24-inch owners, the 7.0 mm solid rod grates deliver a direct stainless steel replacement at the top of the price range. Kenmore 6-burner owners get a large cast iron surface with 525.75 square inches of cooking area, while Expert Grill XG 3-burner owners can keep the cost down with the lowest listed porcelain steel grid. If budget is the deciding factor, the Expert Grill grid is the lowest listed price, but it is tied to the Expert Grill XG family.
