Adds charcoal burns to food. Works too well. Adds charcoal burns to food. Don't need it, unless you like the charcoal burns.

Sears for years. The Sear plate really upped my grill game. I was making great food for my family but once I added the sear plate, it was noticeable. If you have any Komado Joe, you need to get this plate.

Awesome! I love the grill marks this sear plate creates! Heavy duty and cleaned up easy!
★★★★★ Tunas August 27, 2025 · Louisville, KY
Great sear plate. I use this sear plate in both my Classic 2 and my Joe Jr. I put it right at the bottom of the divide and conquer. I reverse sear steaks until I get to the right temperature then sear the bad boys right at the fire. The best steaks I've cooked

Great for reverse sear on KJ Classic. I bought this item and wasn’t using it. Broke it out tonight for 2 NY Strip 1.5” thick. Seared for first 4 mins. (Always flipping) then insert deflectors for perfect edge to edge reverse sear cook. Not sure I’ll ever cook steaks another way. Def worth $100.

Awesome grill plate. This plate allows me to put a good sear on my steaks and sausages, it also allows me to cook with my cast iron utensils. this is an amazing grill grate.

Love it!! I'm so happy my wife purchased this for me. It is the best at searing steaks!

Great for searing and every day grilling. Perfect addition to the KJ Jr. We have seared steaks as well as every day grilling perfectly with this grate.

Great sear. It allows for great carmelization & searing of meat, fruit & vegetables.
★★★★★ Tuna March 8, 2024 · Louisville, KY
Great rack when reverse searing. Use this with my Classic II to reverse sear. I start the cook with this plate already in so it’s very hot. All I do is remove the grates and put the steaks on the sear plate. 20 seconds, a 45 degree turn, flip an do the same on the other side. Wonderful!!!

Does not fit Joe Jr. I’ve written reviews that have been deleted on this website before because they were negative. So, let’s hope this one sticks.
Does note fit Joe Jr. - otherwise it’s great. Had to take a dremel out the sides of my Joe to make it fit.
Can’t recommend it.
★★★★★ Eugene November 23, 2023 · OR
Cast iron is an ideal cooking surface …. Makes the Joe Jr. a more versatile and sturdy cooking tool. I do a lot more searing and smoking.

Review. The sear plate is amazing, delivery time was not. Took over a month to receive it!
★★★★★ Bill Kenney January 3, 2023 · Kansas City. MO
"Searing Awesome". My new searing plate takes my Joe JR to the next level. Quickly becoming my preferred Kamado since we entered the empty nester stage. Big Blox burns for several cooks on Joe Jr now equiped with the searing plate!
★★★★★ Munson October 25, 2022
Like a good sear? Great product. I had just seared for years on the regular grate that came with it. This is a better quality sear.
★★★★★ Ben Grubbs August 1, 2022 · indianapolis IN
10/10. Great product. Double sided for preference of grill marks. Can’t go wrong with cast iron. Actually slightly larger than standard grill great so increases your cooking area as well
★★★★★ Yrdbyrd June 23, 2022 · Brentwood,TN
Sear plate better than half moon cast iron. I like the sear plate to get more grilling surface when entertaining than using the half moon cast iron grate
★★★★★ JB23 May 2, 2022 · NC outer banks
Works great. The plate works great!Perfect grill marks and easy to clean!
★★★★★ Shelby T February 11, 2022 · Texas
AWESOME grill plate. Used it twice within a week. Provides amazing sear marks. Very spacious as well, not the largest but will get the job done for a family of 4.
★★★★★ Jerry B January 12, 2022
Great product, very heavy duty and it does a great job of searing.
★★★★★ Jamey December 5, 2021 · NC
Getting it completely clean is definitely a pain. Hard to clean in between the grates. But, it sears meat really well.
★★★★★ Jim70 July 23, 2021 · Melbourne, FL
wide sear marks. I've had this for a few months and will most likely never use the wire grate again. the sear plate is perfect.
★★★★★ Michael A. July 12, 2021 · Reno, Nevada
Too heavy, tight fit. This sear plate is high quality and does the job, however, it is too heavy and cumbersome to move into place, especially on the Joe Junior. If a person is attempting a reverse sear and wants to move the plate into the lower position and then retrieve it after the cook, it is tough on your fingers and difficult to move. Wish it was lighter and easier to place.
★★★★★ Patrick09 March 16, 2021 · Mcallen tx
Great plate for steaks ! Cooked steaks on this plate came out Devine! Must have !
★★★★★ Ish D February 25, 2021 · San Antonio TX
Kamado Joe Sear Plate. Great addition to my Joe jr. Fits perfect and I no longer use the standard grill rack.
★★★★★ Phredd February 18, 2021 · BC, Canada
Great Addition. This is very solid (and heavy). Made for the Joe Jnr, it also fits directly on the Classic firebox allowing very hot searing. I am thrilled to have it.
★★★★★ Verified Buyer October 2, 2020 · Phila. PA
Simply The Best! I originally purchased the half plate; and this came out, I had to get because the half plate worked excellent for my steaks; I just feel that any other grill pales in comparison to Kamado Joe!!
★★★★★ Verified Buyer September 24, 2020 · Round Rock Texas
Love this thing for steaks. It’s an awesome addition to the Kamado joe. It sits very close to the coals allowing you to get a great sear at a much lower dome temp. Just like any cast iron be sure to season it before you start using it for the first time.
★★★★★ TimB September 7, 2020 · Hillsboro VA
Does the job. The KJ sear plate really does the job once it is hot. It is substantially constructed - meaning heavy - and sears well. I use it all the time. Glad I bought it.
★★★★★ Clint 2788 September 6, 2020 · Ocean City, MD
Excellent cast iron plate. A great purchase. Steaks look and taste great coming off that sear plate.
★★★★★ Jamoca151 September 5, 2020 · Sacramento ca
Great addon. I bought this grate after seeing it in a email jr needs more addons like a cover
★★★★★ JackM September 4, 2020 · Louisville, KY
Seat Plate is a great addition. Did a great job grilling steaks and was a since to clean up.
★★★★★ none none September 3, 2020
Great product. Bought it for Fish and veggies, but works awesome on a couple steaks.
★★★★★ Verified Buyer August 25, 2020
Does a Great Job - But Heavy. It is very heavy and not the easiest to pick up and out of the Joe.
