Great food. Needs frequent cleaning of the grill

I bought this griddle insert instead of a stand alone unit due to space restrictions I currently have. First off I'd like to say it cooks great and makes excellent food. My only gripe with it is the location where the grease dumps out. It's right in the corner of the grill and doesn't make it down to the grease trap creating a large amount of buildup very fast. I've had a few flare ups and this area is extremely difficult to clean with tight crevices. Would love to see the opening more towards the middle in the back where it could hopefully run down further.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback! We are thrilled to hear you love the food you can make on your griddle insert. However, we are surprised that the grease management system is not working as well as expected. We are sorry for the inconvenience!
We would like to offer our assistance and learn more about how the grease is collecting in the drip pan. Please look for an email outreach from our Care team. Thank you!
Weber has become a staple in our house for quality and craftsmanship! Anytime it gets fired up our guests know magic is about to happen. And this griddle is no exception. Comes pre seasoned but def recommend doing your own clean, burn off, then reseasoning before use. After the first few cooks you can tell this griddle top is going to be a staple in our outdoor grilling life for along time. So far everything ive made on it has come out beautifully seared and delicious. Do your homework, try new recipes, and enjoy! You wont go wrong with this product. Gets better after every cook. Just remember to oil her up after you clean.
For my Genesis II I've always had a griddle on the left side and it has been used countless times but it was never big enough. I was recently to the point of just buying a dedicated griddle so I would have more room when I thought I'd check to see what Weber offered. To my surprise I found the full size griddle option for my Genesis II and it made my day. I love this thing. I've always been a Weber fan and I was very happy to find this option. The Griddle fits perfectly, takes up the entire surface, heats evenly, season's up really well and drains the grease in a convenient way! It's perfect! Thanks Weber!
We are very happy with this purchase ! Easy to season and easy to clean. Once seasoned, the surface does not stick. We have been using a small amount of Avocado oil when cooking and it works perfect for the griddle. This item has completely expanded our outdoor cooking menu options. Worth the investment !
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!
