Reversible Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Griddle, Cooking Surface 14 in. x 16, Black

First off, I don't own a camp chef cooker. Yet I wanted to be able to have a good sized flat grill for making smash burgers on my 2 burner Charbroil gas grill. ( If your not familiar with smash burgers they require a HOT grill and one that stays hot!) Looking at the dimensions and ratings on this grill, I figured it would work. Glad I took the chance as it is very nicely made, fits well and works perfectly! I just set it on the gas grill, turn on the burners , drop the cover and come back in 10 min when the internal temp of the grill is around 300 deg f. This puts ALLOT of heat into this grill top that allows me to cook 4, 5" patties at once and still char the other side when I flip them. It also toasts buns to perfection when done. ( I was unable to keep a cast iron grill that hot on my kitchen stove top, BTW) I'm sure this grill top will get used for a bunch of things going forward but I'm in Smash burger heaven at the moment. Looking forward, it looks like this grill ( which has an actual cooking surface of 11.5x 15" BTW) fits nicely over 1/2 my kitchen range top (and covering 3 burners.) I think it's going to work ALLOT better than the narrow, center burner only griddle that came with the stove. I'm going to do bacon and eggs for the whole family soon!

Griddle seems to be made really really well. Has a nice big surface which makes cooking multiple items very easy. It can also used for cooking on either side. One of the things that I had planned on doing, is the flat burgers so that way you don't have to worry about getting your kitchen nasty as I was going to put them straight on the grill. The weight of it is a little heavy but I would truly expect a cast iron product of this size to weigh a little bit if you use it like I'm going to use it outside. Then you won't have to worry about the grease as much and the heat distribution is usually good too

I picked this one because it's a great fit on our grill, but I have also used it in the oven for frozen pizza. I preheated it. We liked the result. I don't think it would be appropriate on our glass cooktop, but it might be okay with gas. You'd probably find a shape more appropriate for that purpose since this is wider than the ones that are designed to go over burners. It's heavy and will be passed on to grandchildren eventually.

This thing is a “man cover” as its small dimensions do weigh just under 13 pounds. For us it serves two purposes: 1. it reverse sears our meats 2. It keeps the gas burner side of our grill free of drippings and grease. It does heat quickly and evenly, it will hold heat for a good while. Caveat: if you are not a neanderthal, perhaps have arthritic fingers (hands?) or inexperienced with handling stuff not leverage friendly? It’s a bit of a chore to maneuver and slide out for cleaning. It is paramount that all its surfaces are seasoned with oil … it will rust quickly.

Wife and I were planning to buy a new outdoor flat iron griddle unit and thought we already have the smoker and grill taking up patio space.... what to do..... Just grabbed the tape measure and found this Camp Chef Pre-Conditioned Griddle to fit in our grill, so no need for another expensive item we may seldom use. Perfect item to grill veggies ....yum, they won't fall now, bacon and eggs (scrambled), there's enough room on this 14x17 griddle to cook multiple items. Cast iron just cooks things better with the constant consistent temps across the whole griddle.... Easy to clean, burgers on the flat, flip over for veggies or hot dogs, get a good cast iron cooking book.....

I was surprised how heavy this skillet is. Assuming that means well constructed. Did not come seasoned so I cleaned and seasoned myself on the grill. I will cook on it tomorrow and update my review on how it worked with Smashburgers. Update: The first picture is what it looks like out of the box. The second Is what it looked like after I cooked eggs and bacon on it. Stained because it wasn’t ready to be cooked on. The skillet definitely needs to be well seasoned before your first use. I spread Crisco all over both sides of mine and baked it in the oven at 350° for one hour. The last picture shows after seasoned. Worked great for burgers. Beware if you want to use this on your existing gas burners it isn’t quite long enough for both of mine and heated unevenly. Best fire or a grill.

This griddle is a must have for my full size BBQ. I bought 2, put them side by side for larger cooking area. No cracks, no warping, they fit perfectly. This griddle is HEAVY, full on cast iron. I love the grease catching reservoir on the one side. The first thing I fried was a full package of extra thick Costco bacon. I used to hate the mess cooking Bacon inside the house on the stove and the smoke would also stink up the house. Cooking with this griddle outside on the BBQ made the best bacon I have every cooked. It came out perfect. The reservoir was filled up, but it did not overflow. Some reviews mentioned their griddle cracked and warped. This is not my experience, they are flat, and even though I made them extra hot, no cracks. My guess its the luck of the draw. When making a cast iron item of this weight, size and shape, you will probably end up with a 3-5% failure rate. All I can say is these griddles have exceeded my expectations. If one were to fail, I would buy it again.

Solid and works good

Très lourd, l'apparence de la surface est égale sur la mienne contrairement a ce que certain commentaire indique. La qualité me semble vraiment au rendez-vous! La conception me semble bien avec un emplacement qui ramasse le gras sur le côté plat. J'ai hâte de l'essayer!

Muy buen producto perfecto camp chef es siempre calidad

My cute bbq grill is a square shape of approximately 18"x18" so initially I wanted a 16"x16" size to fit just right in for the heat around to pass through the sides , but could not find. This grill plate came in 16"x14" as advertised and actually works great. I can see the flames and it sits right on top of the burners. It's thick, heavy and well crafted.

Very good griddle works very well. Just have to make sure you season it well. Then its perfect for camp cooking.

Very sturdy griddle. It works great for what I need it for.
