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.
Great addition without needing another propane bot

Absolutely love it! The wife was up my "you know what" about getting a griddle and I told her I didn't want another propane powered cooking device on my deck (we have limited space at the boathouse); and I didnt want the maintenance as well. This insert fits like a glove! Edge to edge-front back and sides! Great addition! Had 15 people in for the weekend and all who cooked on it loved it!
The griddle has been a nice change for us over the grates. I purchased several things at the exact same time, as a "package" (like the cover for this griddle). It's interesting that each item was shipped separately by the same warehouse and all items arrived at a different time. Being in ecommerce myself, we try hard to ship items together to save the company shipping costs... weird. I'll update this as we continue to use the griddle over the next few hot summer months if anything else changes.
We like not having burnt food (which the grates would cause dried up burgers or whatever). The griddle does a lot better!
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.
I purchased the griddle to use on my Searwood XL 600. It's a perfect fit and am pleased with my purchase. In the first week of owning the griddle I've cooked chicken and french toast. Looking forward to more cooks!
