Couldn’t be happier with the griddle top. It’s very well-made, perfect size and surprisingly large enough to fit everything I need to feed a family five. Also, Great did I do not need to buy a whole another grill. This insert is perfect and makes my current Weber, which I love versatile.
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!
I really wanted to give griddle cooking a try and I'm glad I did, added so much fun to my grill. I knew If I bought a standalone griddle and it wasn't high quality not only would it not last but probably have poor performance as well. I am so I went this route especially be able to use my Genesis 300 that I already had. Thank you, Weber, for all your products and high quality!
Great Griddle. It's nice and heavy, thick and well built. Fits my Genesis fine, with about a 1/2" gap on either side. The only con is cleaning the griddle. The right hand corner has a spot to push drippings, but it will just drip down the back of the grill. Not that well thought out.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Your satisfaction is important to us. Please look for an email follow-up from our Care team. Thank you!
I owned a Weber Genesis 330 for several years and was very happy with it. My wife and I decided we wanted to try a griddle. Initially we thought we'd need to get a stand-alone griddle in addition to your grill. That made for a crowded cooking area on the deck. I found this griddle replacement almost by accident. It saves space and costs significantly less than a comparably sized stand-alone.
