Can this be used for cast iron grates? Don't want to scratch the finish of my grill grates. Thanks.

Yes. I have cast iron grates on my grill. They will not be damaged at all. Be more concerned about rust. Make sure clean thoroughly and often after grilling. Oh, and oil it up your grates should be great!

As far as I know, yes. I would assume your cast iron grill grates are solid thereby not getting scratched. That being said, this brush has very stiff metal bristles

I have used it several times on mine....and other cast iron pans...and no, it doesn't scratch it. If it leaves a rust-type stain, just clean it with Barkeepers and it will be perfect! I use Barkeepers on my cooktop all the time and it's amazing. My cooktop is 14 years old and not a scratch

I use it on a Weber grill stand - whose surface is made out of plastic - with no problems at all. The heat seems to draft up. This grill is made primarily for picnicking, tailgating, etc. - which means use on a variety of surfaces - I believe you will be real happy with it for table top use on a wood, plastic or aluminum surface. (You can tell I really like it)

Just get a grill cleaning brush. I use my brush to clean the grates after I use my grill and I've never had an issue getting anything off.

I haven't had a grill with stainless grates. I can tell you that if you let the grill burn on high for 5 minutes after you finish cooking, and then wait untill it heats up for the session, brush and your ready to go!

I'm going to suggest a no. On the underside it sits on a corrugated ring, which actually works perfectly to keep it in place on my gas stove burner grates and for me it works beautifully. But I have to think that each point of the corrugation would possibly scratch a glass stove top. More so than the bottom of the cast iron pan would. I am a member of a Facebook group called Cast Iron Cooking. Many folks on there use cast iron on their glass top stoves successfully. You just have to be careful not to slide the pan (scratches) or drop it (heavy and could break the glass). But in my estimation this diffuser is just not designed for a glass top.

I wouldn't use it on the burner grills. If those are bad, you generally need to replace them. This is used purely on the outside to take care of rusting areas and sun-bleached spots.

I agree, just get a grill brush and clean off the worst of the gunk. The high temperature of the grill will kill any potential bacteria that probably isn't there anyway. Cast iron needs to be seasoned and stay seasoned, the dishwasher can result in starting the process over from scratch.

No problem with the finish at all. Nice grill grate. We put a kettle on it with chili and it held up great.

Absolutely! We use them on the grill all the time. That's the great thing about cast iron! Hope this helps!

I've used a number of Lodge cast iron pieces on the grill, and they work great. Coat them with some light olive oil (not pure or extra virgin) before putting on the grill, and the seasoning builds and can take heat to over 500 degrees. I have not used this one yet, but it should be no different than the others.

Oh, yeah. Cast iron can handle the high heat. You're gonna love the grill marks. It's really the way to go.

I haven't used it on a Grill but it works fine on my electric stove. I believe it would do just as well over a fire. I would definitely use it over a campfire. After all, it's cast iron, isn't it?

I have purchased on of these brushes and it works great for cleaning up the grill plates without scratching the non-stick surface. My answer to your question is yes.

I have the cast iron grates on my Weber grills at both of our places in Utah and Texas. We just returned to Utah after 7 months and the grill on my Performer (covered but outside all winter) was still in perfect condition. Never have had any issues. I always just clean them down with a brush like usual before leaving. They are the greatest - really surprised Weber doesn't have them on their grills.

If your cooking over an open fire, you need to grease this...I love this for "grand" biscuits over a fire....Any cast iron will eventually rust if not taken care of and seasoned well.

The grates that came with my unit are cast iron. In fact I would not purchase it if the grates were other than cast iron.
