GrillGrate was founded in 2007 by Brad Barrett of Cartersville, Georgia. GrillGrate manufactures grates for grilling. Traditional grill surfaces just hold the food over the heat, letting flames through and drippings fall away. GrillGrates, however, do more than hold the food over the flame, they are additive to the cooking process. GrillGrates act like a lens on top of any heat source. They focus the grill’s heat and conduct the heat up the raised rails to the food.
