Turned an extra silver B into a full time griddle

[butkusrules]

I have an extra gasser and I've been on this kick where I am making "diner" burgers on the griddle. I was thinking about buying a "little griddle " but the cost was high.
I was putzing around Cabelas today and found this monster for 87 dollars
12x20 cast iron griddle with 2 inch sides.
It s a great fit in a 2002 Genesis silver B

That's a perfect sized griddle. Was this a CL find? Are there brand name markings anywhere? I'd be interested in finding one of those. I see bacon machine.

Especially with the trough  to capture the grease

Interesting. Can't find that on Cabela's site when searching for "griddle."

Here is the link. I almost bought that one too but changed my mind last minute because I was the worried the bottom would be custom to their "ultimate grill" 

Here is what I bought:

WOW......that is awesome!  The Q&A says it weighs 35lbs......wow.  I'm definitely adding that to my shopping list.  Its not in stock at my local store, but the extra shipping surcharge is only $8.  Thats not too bad if its quality cast iron.

Does it have a ceramic coating on it, or does it appear to be bare cast iron that can be seasoned?  My only concern would be finding a place to store it where it wouldn't rust......unless they put a decent coating on it.

I used this one on my Genesis 1100,http://www.amazon.com/Camp-Chef-CGG24B-grill-griddle/dp/B0009N0Q2U?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00
Fits grill very well. I put it on top of grills, cook eggs bacon and pancakes at same time.

Bare cast that was pre-seasoned.

Did you remove the cooking grates and set that right on the V Bars that cover the burners?  Have you used it and how's it working?  What temp setting for cooking?

I took off the grate, and 2 of the v bars. The middle and back burner fire directly into griddle.  Cooks well  I think but I need to learn how to use it. Little bit of an art. I just got a griddle temp gauge  today so I can tell you temp tomorrow when I make burgers.

Needle was buried past 600. Burgers take like 2 minutes.

The griddle featured in the photos above looks like this model from Carolina Cookers:

http://www.agrisupply.com/carolina-cooker-cast-iron-griddle/p/68304/

The description says that the griddle has six 1-1/2 in. tall legs to raise the cooking surface and minimize hotspots. I'm guessing that presence of the legs is why butkusrules said that he removed two flavorizer bars.

I think I'm going to buy one.

BTW, the griddle is made to go with this two-burner stove:

http://www.agrisupply.com/carolina-cooker-double-burner-cast-iron-stove/p/48590/

Or this three-burner stove:

I bought mine at cabelas but it looks to be the same one but with a better price. It's a pretty solid buy.
