OK, what I really want is a Blackstone but it is not in the cards right now and, if I am honest with myself, I would not use it to its potential. That said, I am looking at a griddle to put on my gas grill and see offerings in both carbon steel and cast iron. I know there are benefit's to each but not sure which is best | ||

I have the Arteflame carbon steel for my Weber charcoal and I recently purchased a cast iron griddle for my gas grill. As of right now, I prefer the carbon steel. I did season both but the carbon seems to be doing better IMO. I don't think you'd go wrong with either. I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not. | |||

I have a Lodge reversible (ribbed on one side, flat on the other) cast-iron griddle that works real well in my gas grill. I like it because I don't have a good vent in the house and getting a good sear on my steaks always seems to smoke up the kitchen. This griddle makes easy work of it. I use the ribbed side for grilling my vegetables or fish, I get the nice grill lines without anything falling through the grates. I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself. | |||

I too have a lodge griddle, can't beat the price and availability. I polished the smooth side using a small power sander using this video as a guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljSQrSoSYAE Then I seasoned it. Works great on my Weber, I can get it screaming hot. Let me help you out. Which way did you come in? | |||

You're very welcome. I picked up mine in Home Depot a few years back... washed it real good, and seasoned it in the oven. It says pre-seasoned, but I don't mind doing it. It's held up just as good as my older Lodge pans. If you used Cast Iron in the past, it's nothing too different (really just the ribbed side, but a good chainmail makes easy work of that). I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself. | |||

I bought one of the small Blackstone griddles, 17" I think. It has been great for camping and quick breakfasts for the family at home on the weekends. I have an adapter hose to hook up a 5 gallon propane tank to it. Bacon, eggs, sausage both bulk or link. It cleans up easy and is very portable which is great to take camping. | |||

Might try grillgrates - reversible for a griddle or fat-line grates. I have 5 panels in my grill & keep 2 on the griddle side for burgers or searing. | |||
