Camp ChefReversible Griddle - Cast Iron Griddle for Outdoor Cooking & Camping Gear - 16" x 24"

This is a great fit to our two burner Camp Chef. I like the fact that it’s two sides. It didn’t take much to season the grill and cleanup was easy. I give this product 5 Stars.

It works well; I seasoned it by putting it in the oven at 350° for an hour. It's quite heavy, so that you know...

Love this griddle.

I have used this griddle 5-6 times since we received about a month and half ago. And I can say, it is now an inseparable part of our kitchen. Sundays are our royal breakfast days and I was looking for a large griddle so that we can cook hash browns and bacons quickly in large quantities. I have a small two burner rectangular griddle that takes left 1/3 of my cooktop, I was looking for a larger one to occupy the remaining 2/3 cooktop on the right over remaining 3 burners. I was specifically looking for LODGE brand griddle (because they are produced in the USA and quality is exceptional. All my other cast iron products are LODGE. We have boycotted non-stick and aluminium cookware many years ago. Only cast iron and stainless steel). Unfortunately Lodge does not make anything of this size. This was the only griddle that I found in the specific size I was looking for. I was bit scared after reading some reviews about how they cracked and exploded. But with no other alternative in sight, I bit the bullet and ordered this one.The product is solid, heavy. Quality is very good. The size was perfect. After sitting next to smaller recangular griddle, it fully occupies remaining cooktop on the right and hangs outside about 4 inches, which is perfect to put aside cooked items. And boy! there is so much heat! We can cook so many things so fast! My wife and I are very very pleased.I am not cast-iron expert, but many years ago I had read somewhere that cast iron does not handle rapid expansion and contraction very well. Much like glass. So it is important that you heat the cast iron cookware gradually from low heat to medium/high heat and never pour cold water on hot surface. Heat it gradually and let it cool gradually. Once it goes through a number of expansion and contraction cycles, eventually it will be able to handle rapid heating and cooling. But at least when a cast iron product is new, it should not be subjected rapid heating and cooling. I have followed this rule with all of our cast iron products.It is also possible that the units that have cracked or exploded happened to be lemon. At least the unit that I have does not show any quality control or production quality issue. It is a very well built, solid product!There is one thing about this griddle though, it is heavy. I mean super heavy!!! If it slips through hands and falls on feet, it will crush the bones. No exaggeration! I absolutely DO NOT allow my wife to handle it. I set it up, I clean it, I put it away. Because of its size and weight, cleaning is cumbersome. It is nearly impossible to clean at kitchen sink. I clean it in backyard. You should consider this part carefully before buying this griddle. Cooking is huge joy, but cleaning is huge pain!So the bottomline, my griddle is going great. We couldn't be happier.

We had a flat-top griddle, but didn't use it that much, and keeping it ready to go was hard with rodents loving living on the griddle, under the cover. We sold that, and, with that money, we bought this. Fits perfectly on our grill, and we can get the griddle effect with less upkeep. We can just take this inside to clean it, so major points there!

Perfect for my grill. I prefer to use this as it’s easier to clean than through the grates. A must have for frequent bbq grill users

I use this in my Lonestar Grillz Cabinet smoker to be a griddle and to help offset heat to the unit. Works really well. You can use to sear steaks and burgers too! Fits perfectly under the bottom grate area too! Really helps with controlling and maintaining temperatures. Half the price of smaller cast iron griddles from other vendors! Also 1" thick is AWESOME!

I'm using this on my Weber natural gas grill. So far, I've made pancakes, hash browns, smash burgers, cheese steak, fried rice, bacon, eggs - see a trend? I've been using it a lot. I've been eating a lot too.This is cast iron and heavy. The finish on the cast iron is not the smoothest I've ever seen, but once seasoned, I was able to cook over-easy eggs. I've not had anything stick yet.I have been either using bacon grease (probably have cooked 3 pounds in the last week) or peanut oil to cook on. You can use canola, avocado, or whatever you like. I apply a small amount of oil after I clean it before turning off the heat.For cleaning, I've been using paper towels, water, and a dough scraper (ordered separate for use with the griddle, basically just search for a griddle kit and you'll find spatulas, bottles, etc that are convenient). I scrape the griddle as clean as I can, remove any debris (like cooked on food), and then apply water.This does have a trough to collect grease/food stuff. It does not drain. I use paper towels to soak up the grease or water. For my grill, I'm glad it does not drain at the bottom as I'd have a grease fire to deal with.Few other final thoughts. The griddle was not warped and is thick - seems like you'd have to really screw things up to warp this iron. It takes a little while to preheat. I light my grill and preheat this on lower to medium low. I'd recommend an infrared thermometer to find out what temp your griddle is at. My grill says high/medium/low, but those are not useful for cooking.Overall, this is a great griddle and my family is getting a lot of use out of it. Well worth the money.
