First use was 2 lbs of bacon, 1 pound followed by a 2nd pound, grease leaked all the way down into the cabinet below - not into the drip pan at all. It is way to heavy to be really used frequently. Maybe ok for pancakes or grilled cheese but not bacon or burgers as recommended inset up instructions.
I really enjoy the griddle insert! It's easy to install and instantly turns your grill into an out door griddle. No need for 2 grills anymore. Absolutely love this thing!
I would recommend this to a friend!

3 weeks in and no rust.

Seasoned 2 or 3 times front to back. Cooked on it 3 times in about 3 weeks and so far no rust. did a huge breakfast this morning starting with bacon and then hash browns and eggs. gotta learn how to zone cook a little better on it. Only issue so far is that the griddle is not balanced to drain to the rear. I will either have to level it off some way, or possibly use it to my advantage. Grease rolls to the front left corner requiring some maintenance after a cook.
The insert fits the whole grill space and would work well; however, it is very heavy and moving/storing it would be a chore. I returned it before using due to its weight. As of now there is no substitute for half its size.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
