Forged Cast Iron BBQ Grill Grates - Custom OEM Manufacturing
Product Description
We specialize in the precision forging of high-performance cast iron grates for the barbecue grill industry. As a trusted OEM manufacturing partner, we deliver custom-designed grill grates that excel in heat retention, durability, and searing performance. Our forging process ensures superior strength and longevity compared to conventional casting methods, providing your customers with a commercial-grade grilling experience.
Key Features & Benefits
- Unmatched Durability: Forged under immense pressure, our grates possess a denser grain structure, making them highly resistant to warping, cracking, and wear, even under extreme high-heat conditions.
- Superior Heat Performance: Forged cast iron retains and distributes heat more evenly than stamped steel or common cast iron, creating perfect sear marks and reducing hot spots for flawlessly cooked food.
- Custom OEM Solutions: We offer complete customization—from exact dimensional specifications and pattern design (e.g., diamond, square, round bar) to brand engraving and private labeling. We bring your unique grill design to life.
- Built to Last: These grates are an investment, designed to be the last set your customers will ever need. They add significant value to any grill, from premium backyard models to commercial units.
- Natural Non-Stick Properties: When properly seasoned, our grates develop an exceptional natural non-stick surface, enhancing flavor and making cleaning easier.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the main advantage of forged cast iron over traditional cast iron for grill grates?
A: Forging creates a denser, stronger molecular structure. This results in grates that are significantly more resistant to warping under high heat and less likely to crack from thermal shock compared to standard cast iron, which can be porous and brittle. This translates to superior durability and a longer product lifespan for your customers.
Q2: What level of customization do you offer?
A: We offer complete OEM and ODM services. You can customize:
-
Dimensions & Shape: Exact length, width, height, and curvature to fit your specific grill model.
-
Pattern Design: Diamond, round, square, flat bar, or a completely custom pattern (requires die creation).
-
Thickness: Variable bar thickness based on performance requirements.
-
Branding: Laser engraving or forging of your company logo directly onto the grate.
-
Surface Finish: As-forged, machined, pre-seasoned, or other specialty finishes.
-
Packaging: Private label packaging is available.
Q3: What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Our MOQ varies depending on the complexity of the custom design. For standard custom designs, the MOQ typically starts from 3000 to 5,000 units. For highly complex designs requiring new die creation, the MOQ may be higher. We encourage you to contact us with your specifics for a precise quote.
Q4: Do you provide pre-seasoned grates?
A: Yes, we offer pre-seasoning as a value-added service. We use a food-grade oil and a controlled heating process to apply a durable, protective seasoning layer. This prevents rust during shipping and allows the end-user to start cooking with minimal preparation.
Q5: How do you ensure consistency and quality across large production runs?
A: We employ a rigorous Quality Assurance (QA) process that includes:
-
Raw Material Inspection: Certificates of Analysis (CoA) for all cast iron.
-
In-Process Checks: Dimensional verification at critical production stages.
-
Final Inspection: 100% visual inspection and sampling for dimensional accuracy, pressure testing, and heat resistance verification.
-
Full Traceability: Batches are tracked from raw material to finished product.
Q6: Can you work from our existing samples or technical drawings?
A: Absolutely. You can provide us with samples, CAD files (e.g., STEP, IGES), or detailed technical drawings (PDF, DWG). Our engineering team will analyze them and create a manufacturing plan.
Q7: What are your lead times for production?
A: Lead times depend on order quantity and design complexity. A typical lead time for a standard custom order is 45-60 days after final design approval and deposit. Prototyping and new die creation will add time to the initial schedule. We always provide a detailed project timeline with your quote.
Q8: What are the payment terms?
A: Our standard payment terms are 50% deposit with order confirmation, and 60% balance before shipment. For new clients, terms may be adjusted. We accept payment via T/T (Wire Transfer) or L/C.
