Master Your Zones: 18" Half-Moon Cooking Flexibility

The Kamado Joe Classic Half Moon Stainless Steel Cooking Grate is a core component of the Divide & Conquer Flexible Cooking System. By halving the traditional grill grate, this accessory allows you to create specialized cooking zones and multi-level setups tailored to your specific cook.

The KJ-HCG replaces the standard full-size grate with a versatile half-rack design. This setup is essential for pitmasters who want to run direct and indirect zones simultaneously—for example, searing a steak directly over the coals on one side while roasting vegetables on the other.

What This Means When You Cook

• Customizable Layouts: Mix and match with cast iron griddles or soapstones to suit your menu.
• Precision Searing: High-quality steel produces clean sear marks while maintaining consistent heat.
• Effortless Maintenance: The smooth finish makes it easier to brush clean between cooks compared to traditional porcelain-coated grates.
• Rust Resistance: Built to withstand high-heat environments and outdoor storage without corroding.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Heavy-duty 304 Stainless Steel for long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance.
• Dimensions: Approximately 18" x 9" (standard half-moon for 18-inch grills).
• Design: Part of the Divide & Conquer® system; requires the Flexible Cooking Rack for multi-level use.

Compatibility Guarantee

This grate is specifically designed to fit the 18" cooking system found in:

• Kamado Joe: Classic Joe I, II, & III, and the Konnected Joe™.
• Big Green Egg: Large EGG.
• Other Brands: Most round 18-inch ceramic charcoal grills.

CGS Pro Tip: For the best results, use this grate in conjunction with a half-moon heat deflector. This allows you to create a "safe zone" on your grill for finishing thick cuts of meat without burning the exterior.
