80's cast aluminum griddle

Bbqmiller · July 20, 2013, 04:15:16 AM

Should have this sometime next week. Don't see them often, and it looks like a cool accessory for a kettle.

The reason this peaked my curiosity was the cookbook that Golly recently sent me. They had some pics and recipes using this accessory.

I can't wait to cook some breakfast like this.

I saw one of those on eBay. Really cool find. Let us know how it is.

Glad someone here got it....thats a cool find. I was watching the end of that auction but it jumped past my top price quickly. Are you planning to use it?

Nice find. dont see them boxed often.

For my edification....what was the heading/title of the listing?

It is the one on EBay. I really like the old accessories, and I have only seen this one in books/old catalogs. I do plan on using it. I will take some more photos when it arrives. I pretty much have my grill collection set so I look to expand the use of them via accessories.

I came across one of these years ago and never had a kettle! It's still in the back of my ute after being used over fires when camping! Will have to dig it out and use it on the Kettle!

I added this to my watch list at 99 cents and then you guys started bidding on it. I was hopi g for a steal. Let is know how it works.

Golly · July 20, 2013, 06:02:59 AM

Looks like you got the smaller one that fits the GA and 18
There's another size for the kettle

G$ · July 20, 2013, 06:13:36 AM

Golly, the on in the auction is a one touch designed for 22 inch kettles, according to the material on the box.

Does the cast aluminum griddle leave a metallic taste to the cooked food?
Sometimes when we go to a 'fancy' steakhouse they serve the meat on an aluminum plate that I find gives a distinct and objectionable flavor to the steak.

I bid to about $35, who else was bidding?

Golly · July 20, 2013, 07:10:34 PM

jjust bought another of these 2nd hand for $15 a few days ago for a trade

Cool! For a kettle gasser too! Great for maximum convenience and leisurely barbequing

So, how far back does the one touch name go?

Bbqmiller · July 23, 2013, 03:23:55 PM

Just came in. Got home before the wife so it will likely blend in with all of the other stuff

There are some neat references to other items on the box - Weber's way of advertising other goods. Seems good quality, and it is the one for a 22.5 in kettle. I do plan on using it. The poor thing has been wrapped in that plastic bag for the last 30 years. It is asking to be used.
