Very good fit for my Weber Spirit II E-310. Had to season the griddle a couple of times. The cleanup time is more than a grill. I like it and will leave the griddle installed. I need to get a press and the griddle utensils Nice large cooking area to work with. Keeps the mess of frying out of the kitchen. Easy to change from grill to griddle. Glad I did not need to buy another appliance. Fun stuff. I recommend buying the insert. Shipped to the house and no problems. Very well packaged.

Amazing in every way

This cast-iron insert is worth its weight in gold.I am very big on grilling vegetables and fish. This full-size insert allows me a very large surface area to grill a tremendous amount of vegetables and fish.It cooks everything evenly. I am amazed at how absolutely delicious and perfect it cooks everything.I had been using a hodgepodge of cast-iron griddles and skillets, etc. ians I had to cook a little at a time. This product allows me to use the entire cook surface with no wasted space.I could not be happier with the product. I was surprised how very very very good everything turned out from using this cooking surface.I should not have waited so long. Really worth it. Thank you Weber!

Game Changer For Your Grill

I purchased this about 9 months ago and am very happy I did! I have tried a number of ways to incorporate griddles into the mix and this is by far the best. It all started when I got the chance to use a BlackStone griddle a number of years ago and really liked it. I considered buying one in addition to my Weber, but didn't really want to take up more deck space. My first attempt to bridge the gap was to purchase Weber's griddle insert that lets you remove one grill grate and drop in a griddle. That worked ok, but it's not a lot of griddle space and is heavy / awkward to swap out with the grate. That eventually led me to buy a steel griddle plate from another company that was meant to place on top of your grill. I used that for a couple of years and it did the job ... MoreI purchased this about 9 months ago and am very happy I did!

That eventually led me to buy a steel griddle plate from another company that was meant to place on top of your grill. I used that for a couple of years and it did the job pretty well. You're supposed to take it off after you use it, wipe it down, and put it in a bag so it didn't rust. That's not very practical and was a pain, so I usually had to use a steel brush to clean up some rust before using (not super healthy and a pain). When I came across this full griddle replacement from Weber, I wasn't sure whether I should spend money on yet another try to replicate the griddle experience. I decided to go for it and could not be any happier! It works very well, does not rust, and I never go back to the steel grates. When people ask me why, this is what I say: There is nothing I can cook on the grates that I can't cook on my griddle, but there ARE things I can cook on my griddle that I can't cook on your grates! I do all the normal grilling of steaks, brats, burgers, etc. while also being able to do scrambled eggs, pancakes, pretend Huhot night, etc. It's great!TIP: I didn't realize this until later, but you can actually set your original grill grates right on top of this griddle! Grill marks with no flair ups and the griddle basically acts as a huge flavorizer bar under your meat! You can put one of the grates over half the griddle and you increase your versatility. Have steak or burgers that you seared well on the griddle and just want them to cook a little more without possibly overdoing the outside of the meat? Slap your grill grate on one side and let the heat coming off the griddle cook them to your liking without any risk of burning them!Great purchase and has really changed the game for how I grill and the options I have for making a great meal.

Good little griddle. Easy to clean.

This is an updated review. I have used this griddle insert twice now. Once for some bacon fried street corn, and secondly on some cheese steak sandwiches. The first time I used this griddle, I was getting some smoke in my face, but it might have been weather related and a more windy day or something. This didn't happen at all the second time I used the insert. The griddle fits into place nicely and is quite straightforward and easy to use. My favorite part is that it fits into my oven which makes cleanup a breeze. After cleaning the griddle, I simply reseason it quickly in the oven and it's all set up and ready to go for next time.

Great Griddle Insert

I'm very pleased with this insert. I have had it for about a month now and I'm totally loving it. The fit is great and there have been no signs of rust at all (I leave it in place for the season), which makes me ecstatic! In addition, the time to get to cooking temperatures is wonderful and keeping the cooking temperatures is really easy to maintain. The fact that I can close the top completely and get a good convection going is just another bonus. All around I would recommend this for anyone wanting to get a great griddle surface setup on their gas grill.

Great Option for Weber Grill

Brings a whole new experience for using the grill. The griddle insert is much more effective than using the grill grates. You are able to get a whole surface sear that makes your proteins much more appealing. Cooking fish is a pleasure on the griddle. Given that my short order cooking skills are limited still trying to get hang of cooking multiple items at the same time. However, not anything I have cooked has stuck to the griddle. You do have to be disciplined to clean after each use, but much easier than having to cleanup when using my in house cook top. Great option and well made, and fit like a glove!

Great so far!

I've been considering buying a stand alone griddle for the last year or so and was pretty excited that weber finally decided to offer a full size griddle for the spirit grill. The griddle fits nice, has a nice factory seasoning, and is very heavy (this is a good thing). I followed the instructions and seasoned the surface 3 more times before my first use. There's a bit of a learning curve to using a griddle, but everything has turned out well so far and the griddle heats evenly and has no issues. Really nice to cook on.I think the only downside of this griddle insert is the cost. The 3 burner weber griddle costs ~50% more, but you get a bigger cooking area and separate unit. I have room for the stand alone griddle, but I really didn't see the need to have two ... MoreI've been considering buying a stand alone griddle for the last year or so and was pretty excited that weber finally decided to offer a full size griddle for the spirit grill.

Nice Grill Addition

I was really happy that I had purchased this accessory. It adds some options for different recipes. Grilled veggies, mushrooms, cheese steaks, smash burgers to name a few - without buying a whole new flat top. It heats up quickly and maintains a fairly consistent temperature across the griddle. There are a few down sides, first there some accessories like a flat iron that need to be included as well as a IR thermometer both for seasoning and cooking. Since the griddle is an add on the grease containment was a challenge when I cooked several burgers and bacon for a small group. The surface area was more of a challenge than I anticipated - sending a few hash browns in the air. That said it is a nice addition when I am only cooking for 3-4 people.

Nice change and no more burnt food

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!

Poor fit

I've been wanting a flat top griddle but between my gas grill, kettle grill and smoker I didn't have room for a 4th device. This seemed like the perfect solution. Unfortunately the griddle insert was barely deep enough to rest securely on the front and rear ledges of the grill (Genesis E310) . If it moved a millimeter in either direction the top would fall on the burners below as seen in the picture. I contacted weber to make sure I purchased the correct product and was told that I did in fact have the right product and that there was nothing more to do. I remedied the problem with a few bucks worth of hardware from home depot, but I shouldn't have had to do that. Otherwise the product would have been perfect. And to be fair this might fit other weber models better ... MoreI've been wanting a flat top griddle but between my gas grill, kettle grill and smoker I didn't have room for a 4th device.
