The Weber GBS Sear Grate is a cast-iron insert for Weber Gourmet BBQ System (GBS) grills — it sits in the centre of any GBS cooking grate and delivers concentrated, intense heat for creating deep, restaurant-quality sear marks and a proper crust on steaks, chops, and thick fish fillets. Cast iron retains significantly more heat than standard steel grates and holds it steadily even when cold meat lands on it — the key to a proper sear rather than a steam.
Cast iron construction — holds and radiates far more heat than steel grates, essential for a genuine sear
Designed for Weber GBS grill systems — drops into the centre of any GBS cooking grate without tools
Creates deep, wide sear marks on steaks, lamb chops, chicken thighs, and thick fish fillets
High heat retention means temperature stays stable when cold meat lands on it — no temperature crash, no steam
Compatible with Weber Original Kettle Premium GBS, Performer GBS, Genesis GBS, and Summit GBS models
Season with oil before first use and after washing to maintain the non-stick surface and prevent rust
Dishwasher-safe — dry immediately after washing and re-season to maintain the cast iron surface
Can be used as a standalone searing surface after preheating on the grill for 10–15 minutes
