It’s a Weber griddle for the 22” kettle. And it pretty much takes up all of the real estate. O_o
I stumbled across it, looking for something else naturally, and decided that I HAD to have it. It was delivered the same day…cleaned it up, put the handles on, and got to it.
Works like a champ…though even as big as it is, it’s still significantly smaller than my 36” gas griddle. But what the heck, another toy in the toy box.
It certainly heats up quickly…and stays blazingly hot. I’ll probably use less charcoal for the next cook. Two zone is easy, though again, the 22” Performer in my case is the limiting factor…especially doing what I did: made Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. Not a great deal of room to be moving the components around for 5 sandwiches. But I managed to get there in the end.
I also have the Weber GBS Griddle (#7421) that I picked up when I got my WSCGC which also works great for certain things…but is TINY compared to this thing. Still, depending on what one is doing…it’s perfect. For comparison, the GBS griddle cooking space is 12”…giving us an area of 113.10 sq in. This new griddle OTOH is 21.62”…which makes it 366.95 sq in. That’s a whopping 253.85 more space!
Honestly, if you’re looking to transform your kettle into a griddle…this is DEFINITELY worth a look. Yes, smaller than a 36” dedicated griddle…by about half…but also a lot less money and easier to store for those that need to store cookers. It’s just another option. And now I have the 12” GBS insert, the 21” griddle, and the 36” gas griddle.
Now all I need it more time to play with them.
First cook on the new toy. Yeah, it kinda got away from me by the time I got MY buns off the hot side. And yes, there’s jalapeños in there because that’s how I like them. ;-)
I used provolone but the “boy” had cheese in a can. LOL
