Hello,

I had an old Charbroil gas grill that had cast iron cooking grates that
left excellent grill marks and food hardly ever stuck to the grates.
The Charbroil eventually disentegrated and I upgraded about 10 years
ago to a grill from another manufacturer that was supposed to last a
lifetime. The stainless cooking grates are about the only part that's
not degrading, and also what I like the least. Delicate food almost
always sticks, which is worsened but the rounded rods. So, I'm looking
for something new with good, old fashioned, heavy, flat, cast iron
grates. I'd prefer not to deal with the porcelain coated grates due to
the problems with cracking and chipping. If anyone has a quality grill
with cast iron grates, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks.

I have a Vermont Castings VC200 that is about 6 years old. Porcelain coated
cast iron grates that are heavy, don't stick, and not a chip on them.
