More than one use! on my review.

Not only does it let the charcoal get air to start it but it can also be used on the top of a 7" chimney as a grill if you only have a small amount to cook.

Pros
  • NO RUST, NO CORROSION, EASY CLEANING- Stainless steel just makes life easier. No rust, no corrosion of the grids, and easy cleaning. Take comfort in knowing that you will have no additional rust in your food, your grate will not disintegrate over time and will scrub clean with little effort. Fits a standard 7.5 inch chimney starter diameter. Chimney starter not included.
Cons
  • Can be messy and leave behind ash and charcoal residue

not good for burgers or bratts

I thought this would be a great idea. I just cook for me, so even using a small Weber seems like a waste of briquettes. But using a chimney to cook meat that has a lot of grease spatter doesn't work well. When there is a grease fire as you usually get with most type of grill meat, there is no lid or air louvers like on a regular grill to control grease fire. And a chimney is pretty tippy compared to a regular grill. And this little grill just sits there on top, so it doesn't stay put very well…

Pros
  • Fit my Rapidfire chimney starter perfectly. Great for getting that perfect sear on my sous vide steaks!
Cons
  • Requires work to set up and use, not as convenient as gas grills

Perfect Seared AHI and Quick Steaks

Fits my new chimney starterhttps://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B5BHKDZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1Been grilling like this for years with a larger weber grill balanced precariously on the chimney so great to have an actual grate that fits and doesn't fall off.

  • COMPATIBLE WITH RAPID FIRE CHIMNEY STARTER (7416)- We designed the Chimney Mate to make portable cooking a breeze.

Cons
  • Charcoal grilling can produce more environmental emissions than other cooking methods

PERFECT FIT! good for me

I was hunting for a grill that would fit my Samovar Free Energy Water Heater 4L /150 OzCamping/Hiking and Hunting Wood burning Stove and this little grill fit perfectly. Thanks!

Pros
  • Hand Wash Only
Cons
  • May require additional accessories to properly cook different types of food

Great for searing: my feedback

Makes good grill marks and a great sear. I'd prefer cast iron but this is a great buy for the price. Oil it if you don't want it to rust.

Pros
  • TURN YOUR CHIMNEY INTO A GRILL- The Chimney Mate was designed by Grillvana to turn your chimney charcoal starter into a portable grill. Instantly improve your tabletop grill experience when you grill on a high quality charcoal grate.
Cons
  • Requires additional time and effort for preparation and clean-up

Does it's job on my review.

It fit a small clay oven I bought in Mexico. I just had to file 4 grooves into the rim of the oven so that the grate's legs fit. No complaints!I would not grill food directly on it since it does have a cancer warning. I use it to rest my pot or pan above the flames.

Pros
  • GRILLVANA
Cons
  • May require special equipment and tools to properly clean and maintain

Works as Described for my opinion

Want a quick burger or bratwurst but cooking for one or two? Does the standard grill use too much fuel? Flip the charcoal starter upside down and get it done with few briquettes. Fits the starter as described. Cannot slide off. No more difficult to clear than any other grate, arguably easier as it can go in dishwasher.

Pros
  • Didn’t know something like this existed...love it..!
Cons
  • Can be difficult to regulate temperature for consistent cooking

Perfect for Finishing off Sous-vide steak (until it RUSTS!)

UPDATE: so after 2 uses it started to give the steaks a metallic taste. It is totally rusting and I come to find out that the Stainless Steele grade 201 it is made of us "cheep” low quality stainless Steele. Look for 18/10 or 304 grade stainless it is much better quality. Also the wire thickness it is made out of is very thin. A good idea but a very cheaply made poor quality and ultimately rusty product. We Returned it.I am using this to finish off/sear my Sous-vide steaks. The only negative is

Pros
  • Stainless Steel
Cons
  • Can be difficult to use in areas with fire restrictions

Revainrating 5 out of 5

fits over my chimney started just fine

Good but this is a criticism of me, not this product:Do not rub high smoke-point oil on the grill prior to use. High smokepoint oil is good for regular grills, this gets to 600f which will burn any oil you put on the grate.Can't recommend this item enough.

Pros
  • I think the title sums it up. It fits your standard charcoal starter chimney.
Cons
  • Takes longer to heat up and prepare than other grilling methods

Works great for searing

Some small manufacturing scratches on the sides but otherwise works exactly as advertised. No scratches on cook surface. Purchased two. Make sure whatever you are cooking fits over the chimney hole else you end up with grease all over the outside of your chimney. Cut long steaks in half.

Pros
  • Grills & Outdoor Cooking
Cons
  • May not be as energy-efficient as other grilling methods

Great for grill enthusiast!

This is great for the charcoal grill enthusiast. I love this for quick sear steaks. Or when using the starting chimney for any flyaway ash or sparks from charcoal inside chimney. This has a great fit and is a great nice to have.

Pros
  • NOT SATISFIED? DON'T WORRY! -If for any reason you are unhappy with your premium stainless steel Chimney Mate grill grate, contact us directly on Amazon for a replacement or refund.
Cons
  • Takes up more storage space than other camping grills

Fits like a glove! for my opinion

Perfectly fits over standard sized charcoal chimney starters. Great for a quick steak or chops for one or two people without wasting a bunch of charcoal.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Cooking outside in windy conditions can make grilling more challenging

Sous vide? This is for you.

I’ve recently found the chimney starter to be the best way to sear my steaks after a sous vide. This contraption makes it much easier and safer. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • PORTABLE CAMPING GRILL GRATE- Our 7.5 inch design easily holds 2 hamburgers and/or multiple hotdogs. While the coverage is small, you may be surprised how much you can fit on the space! Not just for camping, but great for the guy or gal that wants to grill a quick burger on a weekday night. Chimney starter not included.
Cons
  • Can be dangerous if not handled with care, as hot coals can cause burns or start fires

Nice grate for the Chimney starter

This isn't something that you use all the time, but when you want it, it sure is handy to have. Not very expensive and easy to store. Very handy for camping trips.

Pros
  • Patio, Lawn & Garden
Cons
  • Charcoal can be expensive and add to the overall cost of using the grill over time

Charcoal starter stove

My charcoal starter is slightly smaller than 7.5 inches but this grate works ok anyway. I use it when I don’t want to cook a lot of meat, just a burger or two. Saved on charcoal and clean up. Also works to support a coffee pot or pot of stew.

Pros
  • 1 Count
Cons
  • May not produce as much heat as gas grills, limiting cooking options
