ManGrate BBQ Must HAVE! Review
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
This review will make you want to go outside! It’s SUMMER!! It’s time to be listening to great music, being outside, having fun…..and most of all firing up the BBQ grill!!
I want to tell you about the greatest BBQ item since steak! Hello ManGrate! This is a cast iron grilling grate.
Whenever I say ManGrate I channel my inner “Tim, The Toolman, Taylor”, my voice goes deep and I think “Fire GOOD. Magic Bad”. Except it should be “Fire GOOD. Magic Bad. ManGrate Arrrr Arrrr AMAZING”
ManGrate is awesome and it doesn’t matter how old your barbecue grill is, the ManGrate made it NEW. Better than new actually.
Right off the bat I have to say this steak has never tasted SO GOOD!! Oh my goodness!! ManGrate is a cast iron grilling grate designed to sit on top of any existing grill, NEW or OLD, large or small. The ManGrate utilizes radiant heat, it truly sears in the juices and cooks everything evenly. The smoke rails are angled ledges and are designed to trap and retain oils and fats that are released during grilling, and it’s these juices that aid in the natural smoking process giving meats a rich, barbecued flavor. These rails also serve to reduce flare ups.
I can tell you without hesitation ManGrate is AMAZING!! Steaks never tasted as good!! Such an amazing difference!! More flavor, grilled evenly and so juicy!! I. WANT. STEAK. EVERY. DAY!
There are 2 ManGrates in each box, the grates are 15″ long and each grate is 4¼” wide and they are 1⅜” high. Each grate weighs in at 8 POUNDS! The longer you use your ManGrate the better your meats will taste, because the ManGrate absorbs juices from meats which will add that smoky flavor to EVERYTHING you grill.
Our family gives ManGrate a MILLION thumbs WAY, WAY UP!!! Every griller needs one! YUM!!
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
Refreshing My Old Blog Posts: The Good, The Bad, and The 404s
Updating an old blog post is a lot like an archaeological dig. You expect a quick “dusting” and end up unearthing a series of questionable life choices from 2014.
I recently opened a “quick update” only to find:
- Missing Images: Key tutorial steps now require “imagination.”
- Dead Links: Half my brand partners have rebranded as “AI Crypto Collectives.”
- Antique Fonts: Styles that haven’t been cool since the dial-up era.
Why I’m Optimizing This Blog
It’s not glamorous, but fixing broken links and whispering “Pick me!” to Google makes the site faster and easier for you to find. I’m not spiraling; I’m just cleaning up the blog ghosts.

WOW! Just WOW. Let me tell you that I have had a checkered history with this company. My last order was 5 weeks overdue. I called, I emailed. No answers. Finally I contacted my bank and disputed the charge on my debit card. I won and the balance was refunded to me. I don’t know why, but I decided to give them one final chance to have me as a customer. I ordered using a different card. I didn’t make an account this time. My order arrived within like 3 days. I sanded, filed the valleys, and sanded again the Mangrates. I soaked them in Dawn dishsoap and bleach for several hours. I then rinsed them off and sanded them again. I seasoned them on a high-pressure burner using grape seed oil. Then I put them on my grill to bake at about 520 for an hour. after that I oiled them again and closed the lid for a london broil steak. Yeah I know not such a great cut. I dry rubbed the steak with Montreal seasoning and rosemary from my garden, with just a light coating of grape oil to make it stick. I wasn’t expecting much from all my preparations. What a mistake I made! I purposely overcooked the steak to well done, no pink at all. I hate well done and never cook steaks this way. I just wanted to experiment and see what happened. What happened was magical, mystical, other-worldly. It was the most juicy and delicious well-done steak that I have ever had in my life! And this was a London Broil, not a porterhouse or ribeye. The way that Mangrates cooked that steak was beyond description. It’s not hype. It’s not marketing. These grates take the grilling to the next five levels and then some. I have never had such a delicious, well-cooked cheap steak in my life. My mouth was open and my jaw was dropped half the afternoon. I can’t believe that such a simple addition to my bbq could have that much of an impact. I am telling you the honest truth. If you sand, clean, and season these grates properly then you will have the most spectacular steak that you have ever grilled, even on the first burn. I hate the company but I love the product. It’s the real-deal. It’s not hype. Even well-done steaks end up super moist and delicious with these grates … even with cheap cuts. I was blown away. I will never cook on anything else from now on.

I haven’t heard of ManGrate either. I have recently found that I love cast iron pans. So much better than the non stick. Especially when they become cut and the little particles of teflon flake off into your food. I would love one of these grills. They are just so awesome. Thanks for sharing.

I never heard of a Mangrate before, but I sure want one now!!! I would have steak every day if I could, esp if it was cooked on a Mangrate that would make it even more delish!!! It sounds worth all of the 8 lbs!!
