Kamado Joe Half-Moon Stainless Steel Cooking Grates Kamado Joe Half-Moon Stainless Steel Cooking Grates

Multi-Zone Cooking with Flexible Control

The Kamado Joe Half Moon Stainless Steel Cooking Grate is built for everyday grilling versatility, durability, and multi-zone heat control.

Designed for the Divide & Conquer Flexible Cooking System, this half-moon stainless steel grid allows you to set up split-level cooking zones or combine stainless steel with cast iron, soapstone, or heat deflectors. Available in sizes for Classic Joe, Konnected Joe, and Big Joe grills.

Primary Uses & Benefits

• Upgrade or Replacement: High-quality, heavy-gauge replacement for a lost, worn, or damaged stock half-moon wire grid.
• Multi-Zone Versatility: Run a stainless steel grid on one side for general grilling or indirect finishing while using cast iron or soapstone on the opposite side.
• Flexible Rack Positioning: Use with the Divide & Conquer rack at various height levels to regulate heat exposure for delicate foods or high-heat searing.
• Durable 304 Stainless Steel: Crafted from heavy-duty 304 stainless steel rods that resist corrosion, rust, and thermal warping under high heat.
• Easy Maintenance: Smooth stainless steel wire construction cleans up quickly with a standard grill brush and resists food sticking.

Choose the Right Grid Size & Fitment Notes

Select the option designed specifically for your grill model's Divide & Conquer frame:

• Sold Individually: Includes 1 half-moon grate per box (purchase two to form a complete 360° cooking surface).
• Classic Joe 18-inch Stainless Grid (KJ-HCG): Fits Kamado Joe Classic Joe Series and 18-inch Konnected Joe grills.
• Big Joe 24-inch Stainless Grid (BJ-HCG): Fits Kamado Joe Big Joe Series (24" grills).

Important Fitment & Compatibility Notes:

• Big Green EGG: Over the years, both Kamado Joe and Big Green EGG have modified their half-moon cooking grids. Due to these ongoing dimension changes, we cannot recommend co-mingling grids and rack systems—there are simply too many unknowns.
• Full-Round Grid Compatibility: Full-round Big Green EGG and CGS cooking grids will only fit on the top level of the Kamado Joe Divide & Conquer system. They cannot slide into the lower or intermediate rack levels.

What This Means When You Cook

True Two-Zone Setups

Combine one stainless steel half-moon grid with a half-moon ceramic heat deflector on one side to create an indirect "safe zone" for slow-roasting chicken or finishing thick-cut steaks after searing.

Multi-Level Expansion

Position stainless grids on different levels of the Divide & Conquer frame to cook delicate vegetables up high while searing proteins closer to the firebowl.

Care & Cleaning Tips

• Brush the stainless grid while warm using a quality grill brush or scraper before or after every cook.
• For stubborn burnt-on grease, wash with hot water, mild dish soap, and a non-scratch scrub pad.
• Stainless steel requires no seasoning and can be stored outdoors inside the grill year-round.

CGS Pro Tip: Pair this grid with a half-moon heat deflector underneath on one side. This creates a dedicated indirect zone so you can reverse-sear steaks—bringing them up to internal temperature over gentle heat before sliding them over to direct coals to crisp the crust.
