In one photo, it shows the cooking grate as a wire grate, while in another photo, it shows the cooking grate as cast iron. Which is it?

I don't believe it's heavy enough to be cast iron. I LOVE this grill!!! It's perfect if you don't need a large grill. It holds a good amount though, I've grilled two kinds of meat at the same time. Grate cleans very easily.

It isn't marked, but the grill and also the removable pot that holds the fuel both seem to be made of cast iron.

The description says "...heavy duty cast-iron enameled cooking grates..." The description of the grates is accurate. I clean after each use, and they still seem new.

The grill grate resembles a cooling rack to place baked goods on. It is not like a grate on a grill.

I'm not sure what the Coleman stove looks like, but this skillet is cast iron and work equally well on my propane grill, my charcoal grill, and my gas stove in the house.

There is a single grate. If you're concerned about heat getting too high just keep the charcoal to the side and cook the meat indirectly, use less charcoal, or water spray the burning charcoal regularly while cooking, then let the coals heat up more for other foods.

It appears to be cast iron like a duch oven would be made from. It is NOT aluminum, and does not appear to be stainless steel.

It is not cast iron as it is very light, and it could be cast aluminum. It has the words "Pearl Life" on it which may be what it is made of. It cleans up great and I spray it with Pam before putting my batter in and they come right out.

I believe it is cast iron. We have had ours for a year and love it. It is very sturdy. Our camp is in the sand hills and it holds up well, even with a large dutch oven.

I believe it is black porcelain. They work very good, and clean up nicely. These cast iron replacement grids work, and last much longer than the wire grids. Hope this helps.

Cast Iron with holes on both sides. The holes are sheltered from ash by a shelf on the top of the pipe. All-in-all it is a nice design at a reasonable price.

I bought mine in February 2014, and the grates are definitely ceramic-coated cast iron which, in my view, cook better than stainless steel.

I have both. I use the cast iron at home and the aluminum for tailgating. The former is heavier and works better. The aluminum grate works fine but is showing signs of wear and won't last as long as the cast iron. I'd say the cast iron is better.

Yes, it is cast iron. Careful of the handles, they get hotter than the plate!
