How to use

1.

Build Ember Base Under Your Fire Pit Cooking Grate

Start your fire about 15-30 minutes prior to grilling so that you can build up a base of hot burning embers below your fire pit grilling grate. This will create a more consistent, manageable heat source.

2.

Place and Heat Your Fire Pit Cooking Grate

Once your fire pit grilling base is established, place your BBQ Grilling Grate on top of the fire pit ring. Leave the cooking grate over the fire for about 5-10 minutes to get it up to high heat for searing. Spray with oil on top of your grilling grate if preferred.

3.

BBQ and Grill Over the Fire Pit Your Way

The sky is the limit with your cooking fire pit grate. Grill and sear your favorite dishes and try new things - your BBQ Fire Pit Grate is perfect for steaks, burgers, fish, corn, veggies, and more. Our fire pit cooking grate will even stand up to the weight of your heaviest Dutch oven.

4.

Clean and Re-Season Your Fire Pit BBQ Cooking Grate

After use, remember to clean and occasionally re-season your fire pit grilling grate. Just like a good old cast iron skillet, heated steel wants a light coat of oil after a few uses to keep your BBQ grilling grate primed for your next grilled masterpiece.

FAQ

Can you grill on a fire pit?

You can definitely turn your outdoor fire pit into a grill with the right setup. Most outdoor fire pits aren't designed for grilling directly on the coals, but placing a grilling grate on top of the fire pit allows you to cook food over the open fire. Fire pit grilling grates are available for purchase and come in various sizes to fit your fire pit. This opens up a fun and tasty way to cook burgers, veggies, or anything else you'd typically cook on a traditional grill. There’s nothing like live fire cooking for flavor over your favorite type of wood.

How do I care for my fire pit grilling grate?

Taking care of your fire pit grilling grate extends its lifespan and ensures delicious fire-cooked meals. After use, use a grill brush to remove food debris. Once the cooking grate cools completely, go over it with a stiff brush as needed. You should also regularly season your grilling grate. Similar to classic cast iron skillets, fire pit barbecue grates benefit from seasoning. Coat the grate with a high smoke point oil (canola or vegetable) and heat it over the fire until the oil smokes and burns off. You can easily do this before or after every few uses to continue to condition the surface. This creates a non-stick surface for better cooking and easier cleaning. Finally, store your grilling grate properly. Keep your clean and dry grate in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent rust.

What size fire pit grilling grate is right for my fire pit?

To find the perfect size fire pit grilling grate for your outdoor fire pit, measure the inside diameter of the fire pit. A fire pit grilling grate can either sit within the main fire ring if its diameter is a perfect match, or it can sit flat atop the upper brim of your fire pit if the grate is larger than the inner diameter of your fire pit. The Walden Fire Pit Grilling Grate is available in different sizes to accommodate most fire pits on the market. When in doubt, get a BBQ grate that’s larger than your fire pit diameter to provide a good sturdy surface for cooking large meals with more options.

What is the difference between the Stainless Steel Grilling Grate and the BBQ Grilling Grate?

Both the Walden BBQ Grilling Grate and the Stainless Steel BBQ Grate are built to last and withstand high temperatures. The main differences are the level of care needed to maintain the products and the weight they will bear. The BBQ Grilling Grate requires regular seasoning with oil to build a non-stick cooking surface. Its high carbon steel construction, however, makes it the sturdiest grate on the market, allowing it to handle weight over 200 pounds. That's a lot of steak. As for our Stainless Steel BBQ Grilling Grate, you do not need to season it to achieve non-stick cooking and forestall rust, but its weight capacity is lower than the classic BBQ Grilling Grate.

How often should I burn off my fire pit grilling grate?

While a typical gas grill requires “burning off” the grilling grate, a fire pit grilling grate does not necessarily need this. After each use, you can simply brush off any leftover food debris while the fire grate is still hot. Regular seasoning with a high smoke point oil after cleaning helps maintain a non-stick surface and reduces the need for burning off food residue.

What’s the big deal about cooking over a fire pit?

Our favorite question! Cooking over a fire pit is an experience with a huge payoff. You not only get to enjoy the best-tasting grilled meat and vegetables, but you also get to enjoy the process of cooking in a new way, with the ability to share it with your dining companions. In our hectic lives, we’re often in the habit of functional or convenience eating, which can be unhealthy, uninteresting and over-salted to cover up the lame. Live fire cooking is the opposite: you know what you’re eating, you prepared it yourself, and it will taste better than anything on an overpriced menu. You can do this. And, before you know it, you’ll be a true backyard BBQ expert with the smile to prove it!
