Firepit Griddle Review

The Griddle arrived in a timely manor to my house. It was well packaged.
The griddle is 8.8 pounds. I cooked Breakfast which included Sausages, Bacon and Eggs.
As it was the first cook with it, I applied some olive oil; I know it had been seasoned but it needed more as this is the proper way to cook.
My first impressions were : Heavy duty skillet (not going to backpack this), Very rough surface (not a non-stick), Even heat distribution, Not a bad price.
Biolite should strive to get the cooking surface smoother; It sticks food badly. I sanded the cast iron down a bit and re-seasoned it. Works much better.

Wonderful pan for the obvious camping meals, but this pan is also great for a large batch of cornbread or brownies in the oven. The look of this quality cast iron is just right for presentation. I roasted a duck... worked great and held the heat for serving.

Worked great for searing steak, and actually cooked the steak pretty well - you just need to really watch the meat & turn it often. There was no way I could get an egg or a pancake flipped with the VERY rough cooking surface. I'm a Dutch Oven cooker from Boy Scout days, so I power brushed the cook surface to make it smoother, like my DOs. A very stiff wire brush on a 10,000 RPM grinder works well. Then a good cleaning with soap and a re-season. Helped quite a bit. As it gets more seasoned with use, the cook surface will improve.Otherwise; a great addition to the cook stove, 4 stars for the rough cook surface.

Sturdy griddle. Good for the price. Agree with other reviews that surface was too rough. Grinded it down and reseasoned it. Used it on the girl it, on the grill, and even inside. Working much better now and will last for years to come.

I was pleasantly surprised how heavy it is! Fits perfectly and cooked everything really well. Definitely glad I read the instructions and a previous review to make sure it’s not a super hot fire (and to keep the fan low)

This griddle was even higher quality than I expected when it arrived! It’s strong and heavy totally legit as a cast iron cooking tool. I re-seasoned mine after my first use and it looks brand new again! A must-have for your firepit.
