Steel fabrication workshop with an assembly table

Built around the fire

A better grate starts with how you cook.

GrateFit makes purpose-built carbon steel grates for backyard cooks who want more than a thin, disposable replacement. Every design begins with the grill, the fire, and the food you actually put on it.

The GrateFit approach

No shortcuts between the steel and the sear.

GrateFit was built for the cook who treats a weekend fire like an event. The kind of cook who knows a good crust starts with heat, weight, and a grate that stays put when it matters.

We start with 3/16 in. carbon steel, then shape each design around the platform it is meant to serve. That means thinking through usable cooking area, airflow, access, and how the grate behaves over live coals—not simply making metal fit a circle.

Fabrication, not filler

Made for heat. Built with intent.

01

Start with the grill

Fitment comes first. We build around real cooking platforms, including Weber Kettle 22 in. grills and Recteq Bullseye smokers.

02

Choose the steel

3/16 in. carbon steel brings the weight, heat retention, and straight-ahead durability a working grate needs.

03

Cut for the cook

Open patterns, access points, and custom details are considered for the way heat moves and food lands on the grill.

Why carbon steel

A working surface that earns its seasoning.

Carbon steel changes with use. With proper care, it develops character and a seasoned surface over time—ready for hard sears, long cooks, and the next round of friends at the fire.

Serious heat retention

The substantial 3/16 in. plate holds heat when food hits the grate.

Built to be maintained

Clean, dry, and lightly oil it after cooking to keep the surface ready.

Made around real fitment

Every platform is measured with the grill and cook in mind.
