QuliMetal Full Size Griddle Insert for Weber Genesis 300 Series (2007-2016) - Heavy Duty 5MM Flat Top Griddle for Genesis E310, E320, E330, S310, S320, S330 Gas Grills - Replaces Weber Griddle 7566

For starters I got the stainless steel version since I wanted a more authentic greasy spoon and hibachi experience than you would get with cast iron. I was surprised to see that out of the three options the stainless was actually the heaviest at nearly 30 lbs.Let me tell you this sucker weighs a TON. The gauge has to be at least 1/4”. I got it on Prime day for under 100 bucks and if it is truly solid stainless all through, it’s got to be over a third of the price just in raw metal value.I have a Weber Genesis II E335 and it fits absolutely perfectly. It says to take the flavorizer bars out but there’s enough clearance to keep them in and it helps with the heat distribution. I got this thing ripping hot -which I learned is not necessary, and it does not warp in the slightest, as with many others. Being as thick as it is I’m not sure it could.Using it requires a bit of finesse at first. You need a good straight edge scraper. But with the right amount of oil it cooks great and doesn’t stick. Overall very satisfied.

I knew I didn’t want to buy another standalone unit for my patio, a smoker and grill is enough for me. But I was curious about the flattop craze. This has been a great addition to my cooking routine. I’ve used it 6/7 times so far and have had really good results. I wouldn’t say the heat is super even, but on the Genesis it says to remove the flavorizer bars, so it isn’t really surprising that the areas directly over the burner are hotter than those that aren’t. This has been pretty easy to work around, although I recommend an infrared thermometer. All in all the cooking has been great with pretty easy clean up, which was a huge concern of mine. I’ve found either right after, or with a quick warming later on, the surface cleans easily. I can tell it is getting more seasoned which is great!I have an older Genesis (not GenesisII) 3 burner with the extra sere burner, the fit is perfect. I gave the grill a good cleaning before I used the flattop, and so far the grease trap has worked out very nicely and seems to be doing its job.Just a heads up that the way the flattop is designed it’s sunk into the grill a bit, this is a needed feature to get closer to the flames and to give you a lip for cooking, the only downside is that your knuckles end up close to the raised edge of the cooking surface which is very hot. I try to be very cognizant of this and it does get in the way of some of the spatula work that I would prefer. All in all not a huge deal, but not ideal either.I am happy, way cheaper than buying a purpose built unit, and honestly if you look around online, there are only so many uses for a flattop. So this works perfect for those times a flattop meal is what I crave, and I don’t need to have a third grill on the deck. I’d recommend this to anyone that wants to try out flattop cooking but isn’t hell bent on being a short order cook.

picked up the stainless steel griddle surface for a genesis II e-335. arrived in a few days completely intact without issues.it's heavy, just over 38lbs. thick stainless steel. this isn't just a thin sheet you're dealing with. i had to remove the grills and flavorizer bars, wear some gloves, they can be greasy. the supplied hooks fit into the sides and allow you to lower the griddle in without smashing your fingers. great design. it fit in easily with a small gap around the sides. no warp to it, it fit in flat. cleaned it off with soap and water (not on the grill) and seasoned with light coating of olive oil.heats up quickly and pretty evenly. grilled eggs and pancakes on it nicely. the raised back stop is handy for scooping things up with a spatula (sides and front are as well). the large cut in the back lets grease drop down and away so the surface doesn't become a swamp.all-in-all i'm very happy with this griddle surface. should last me a long time with proper care. while it isn't the cleanest and easiest thing to swap in and out from my grills, it saves me from having to buy an expensive separate griddle that i might only use occasionally. the material seems high quality, well designed and well made. i'm happy to recommend it to anyone looking for a griddle surface for their grill.

Made of thick stainless steel. Fits perfectly. Good instructions. Make sure you season it properly and that the grill is level.

Comparable to the pricey brand name option. Heavy but great quality/

This review is for the carbon steel version (not stainless steel, not cast iron). The moment I opened the box my instinct was to return it. It had some odd industrial grey coating that was very coarse and bumpy - similar but much worse than a lodge cast iron skillet. The included seasoning instructions noted they were for cast iron and stainless steel; there were no instructions for the carbon steel version. The instructions for the cast iron/stainless basically said to heat up a half an inch(!) of oil to the smoking point, then "carefully discard". What? First off there are holes in the griddle for grease management so there is no way to build up a half an inch of oil. Second, even if there weren't holes could you imagine trying to handle this huge heavy griddle with smoking hot oil and trying to discard it safely?But, foolishly, I decided to give it a try instead of returning it. Because the seasoning instructions were 1) apparently not intended for carbon steel and 2) not possible and 3) risked a painful death, I decided to season it as I would a carbon steel pan, with a light coat of oil and heat over time. I still was confused whether this was even needed because of the odd bumpy coating, but I figured it wouldn't hurt. Seasoning was a pain because the bumpy surface shredded paper towels. But, I managed with some other cloth rags. So after seasoning, I cooked some smash burgers on it and they turned out pretty good. Clean it, dried it, and put it away. Pulled it out a few days later and it is COVERED in rust. Running my hand over the surface, my hand comes up reddish brown from all the rust, so obviously not appetizing. Now I have to figure out some way to clean all this rust off or just trash it. What a waste of money.
