Diamond Sear Cooking Grids have a patented* design with bars that have a smooth flat top. Each bar is shaped to optimally transfer the heat from the burners to the cooking surface…food cooks faster and more evenly!
For reference, the E790/A790 (36” grill) has three cooking grids with 18 rods each, totaling 54. Each rod has .333” of food-contact surface with its trapezoidal design. This creates a total food-contact surface of 17.98” which is almost exactly half of the 36” cooking width. This results in more heat transferred to your food and provides for more even grilling.
Compared to round grids that provide contact only at the top, the flat top shape of each bar optimally transfers heat to the cooking surface creating faster and more even grilling.
