The griddle insert is very well built, but the design could use some work. The front openings let too much heat reach my hands while cooking, and the large opening in the back doesn’t make sense to me. Also, the fat drain isn’t aligned with the bottom tray, which makes cleanup messier than it should be.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I’ve been wanting a griddle but not another piece of equipment. This solved the problem and it’s easy to put in or take out of my grill. It’s perfect for burger night or Saturday morning breakfast
I decided to convert my 2017 Spirit E310 over to a GRIDDLE!! I rated it 3 of 5 stars because I had to modify my grill to make conversion "perfect". As everyone can image, the amount of liquid grease from a griddle being pushed to the rear opening exceeds what is typical for a grill. The size of the factory opening in the bottom half of the grill does not allow for the drippings to fall well within the edge of main (black removable) drip pan (not the 6x8.5 foil pan). The liquid grease will somehow track around the bottom of that opening edge just enough to fall onto the flat portion of the removable pan. This results in the grease spilling into the bottom of the grill base storage area. I used sheet metal to fabricate an approximate 1" wide apron and attached to the bottom half of the grill using rivets to effectively reduce the opening size. Now all of the grease drippings fall well within the removable drip pan edge. Since the modification, I am very pleased with my purchase.

Absolutely fantastic. From breakfast to dinner, you can do everything on it, easy to clean. Only regret is waiting so long to get it. Pancakes, chicken fried rice to salmon. Everything seems to cook perfectly.
