The grate on my OTG 57cm is rusted and fit for the bin really.
Should I just get another one the same?

Or is there a better choice, maybe something heavier/cast iron?

Re: New OTG grate
AS much as I like the cast iron grates ( I will be cooking on mine today) they do involve quite a bit of work to keep them seasoned. Personally I would just go for a normal set of grates.

The porcelain-enameled cast iron grill on the my Baby Q doesn't seem to require any maintenance.

Re: New OTG grate
I've got a baby q and a q200 as well. You're right that the grates on this require less maintenance - though I do tend to season mine once or twice a year. My craycourt ones definetly do though. The other thing I'm not so keen on with these is that there are no handles to remove them. Whilst not a huge deal it does make them a bit more cumbersome. Don't get me wrong I like them but I on;y tend to bust them out when I'm doing things like steaks or other items that require really high heat.

This looks like it would suit me better

Re: New OTG grate
Got one of those. The grate is better than the stock weber one as the bars are thicker. The sear bit is ok but a little bit small IMHO when cooking big steaks ( I like to do t-bones that are a couple of inches thick)

Re: New OTG grate
The Outdoorchef grid is very thick and porcelain coated for very easy clean-up and fits the Weber. Downside, no handles and no hinged section for adding chips and more charcoal.
