Flat top griddles

If your grill is round, use a cast iron pan silly. LOL. I used the cast iron griddle successfully, the rectangular one.  You could use that too. It doesn't have to fit the shape, just fit inside.

I want maximum surface area! 
My cast iron pan is 12"
 
My grill is 32" 
 
I want a 30" cast iron flat top for my Weber.  
 
It'd probably cost a small fortune.

Thank you, I'll be here all week. Tip your webmaster. Try the veal. 
 
Steel is just iron + carbon, so a steel plate would be ideal, like others are using in some of the other threads. 
 
So, this is what I'm using:

In my case it mounts, but in your case, it could sit right on top of the grate ...
 
I also have one of these:

I have one of these, and it's interesting ... I picked it up to be able to do biryani (or perhaps some paella, later) ...
The bottom doesn't remain perfectly flat if you try to use it on the stove, but it's seriously heavy-duty and meant to be used over fire ...
 
I'm considering using my Dough Joe on the grill too, though, which is also carbon steel, as a matter of fact:

That's 3 gadgets.

Jay, are we playing the drinking game, or are you punking out again?

Thank you - I'll check these out!  I have a pizza stone/ring for my grill, so a steel version of that would be awesome. 
 
PS. You mean 22" Weber right? 32" sounds awesome but I don't think they make?
 
LDHS, call aocal welding shop and tell them what you want, they can cut it any shape you want and probably less than $50 but being in CA I'm not sure. Also, a 1/4" X 30" round piece of steel, I'm guessing will weigh around 30 pounds, so make sure all your nuts and bolts are tight on your Weber's legs. :D

it's the 36", I think ... the ranchero or something #awesome like that ...

I have whatever their largest coal round one is. I have a rotisserie collar for it as well - thought it was 36". I'll check. 
Nope - I was on acid I guess, because it's the 24"
 
Says right on the box for my roto collar - 24"
 
So yeah - it's 24"
:rofl:

Despite that egg being on there waaaay to long, that burger was absolutely KILLER looking.

Double that. One of my eyebrows creeped up at the "Egg wasen't done" comment :D
 
God damn burgers look amazing on a flat top though, I miss playing with them. Crust-city.

Alrighty then. Lets try typing the old fashioned way.
 
I got the Blackstone 36 Cookstation assembled a while ago. Ever 'thang was easy peazy and only took about 30 minutes. I probably coulda' done it faster but I dilly dally around a little extry to make sure I don't miss any 'thang. Once complete, I hooked up a tank and fired it up using the AA battery powered piezo start. Holy shit it actually works!!! Normally on such appliances I just leave them off and use a big lighter but no need. I was going to wash off the thin coating of oil the griddle came with but decided to just burn it off and then add some cooking oil to start the seasoning process. Hear me now, 'bleed me later, this 'thang gets HOT in a hurry. I had all the burners turned on but only at a low setting and the griddle started to smoked nicely. I let that go for a while, then wiped it down with some paper towels and splooged it with some more oil and smeared it around. In contrast to my old gas grill, this 'thang went from stone cold to seasoning smoke goodness in less time than the other grill took to get up to temp to cook on.
 

 
You can see the magic wafting off the top.
 

 
The only negative I see thus far is that the grease trough is woefully shallow and inadequate and most complaints center around that and how it drips into the catch pan. I ain't worried as I cook with much less oil than most people and I can adapt. I've spent almost 2 years wringing my hands about this griddle and whether I should pull the trigger on it and as of now, without even having cooked on it yet, I am more than impressed and can already ascertain that this is most likely the best money I've ever dropped on an outdoor appliance. I've just recently gotten rid of my old gas grill and my UDS as they were just collecting dust but I can see this new griddle getting a workout several times a week. I still have my little lodge CI hibachi for when I want something over charcoal and for that its all I need. And should I want a more portable griddle I have a cast iron top that fits perfectly on the hibachi for fishing trips and such.
 
Right now I am just ecstatic and can't wait to get a few hoskey's deep this evening and crank up Big Betty with some smash sliders. Beers are chillin' and I got 2 full tanks of LP gas. 
 
Oh hell yeah!!!

That thing is dope. It would fill a hole in my outdoor cooking lineup for sure.

Great find TB!
 
They seem more prevalent in Oz.
