Nice quality Material. However, seemed a little sort from front to back so doesn't sit on the lip as squarely as desired. Also the griddle shrinks quite a bit with the big open vent at the back.
Bought this for my hubby - he’s our grill master. I can’t say I’ve cooked on it (whoohoo!), I’m the sous chef so I do prep. My gosh, he’s cooked some amazing meals - full breakfast (hash browns, eggs, sausage), Philly steak & cheese, Smash burgers and hibachi chicken, veggies & fried rice. Easy clean up, too. There’s a gazillion blackstone recipies out there - we plan to make them all on our Weber!
No need for a stand alone griddle. This griddle cooks steaks, fish, shrimp, potatoes, eggs, etc. perfectly. Seasoning the griddle was a snap. I used the Weber scraper for easy cleanup.
Took delivery of this about 3 weeks ago after it sat in my shopping cart for months in end. I’ve since cooked eggs, bacon, pancakes, hash browns, smash burger sliders and dogs. Not cheap, worth every penny. Weighs like 20lbs and built like a fortress. I seasoned 4 times before first use and I can already tell this thing will outlive me….so on-brand for Weber!
I'm very pleased with this insert. I have had it for about a month now and I'm totally loving it. The fit is great and there have been no signs of rust at all (I leave it in place for the season), which makes me ecstatic! In addition, the time to get to cooking temperatures is wonderful and keeping the cooking temperatures is really easy to maintain. The fact that I can close the top completely and get a good convection going is just another bonus. All around I would recommend this for anyone wanting to get a great griddle surface setup on their gas grill.
