BBQ-PLUS Reversible Cast Iron Griddle for Napoleon LEX/Prestige/PRO 17-3/4" x 13" — Flat & Ridged Heat-Retaining Plate

The BBQ-PLUS reversible cast iron griddle plate provides a smooth, even-heating cooking surface that replaces or sits on top of your Napoleon grill grates for searing, breakfast, and delicate foods.

If you own a Napoleon LEX, Prestige, or PRO series grill, this heavy-duty cast iron griddle is built to fit and perform. At 17-3/4" x 13", the plate is sized to match a range of Napoleon models including Prestige 500, Pro 500, Lex 485/605/730 and several built-in configurations. The griddle’s reversible design gives you a flat, non-ridged side for eggs and pancakes, and a ridged side with drain holes to channel grease away from food—helpful when cooking smaller proteins or vegetables over open flame.

Will this griddle fit my Napoleon model?

Yes—this replacement plate was designed for compatibility with many Napoleon grills. It fits multiple LEX, Prestige, Prestige PRO and Built-In series models, matching the common grate dimensions of those units.

• Fits Napoleon LEX 485, 605, 730
• Compatible with Prestige 500, Prestige PRO 500, 665, 825
• Works with Built-In Prestige 500 and specified BIP models
• Exact plate size: 17-3/4" x 13" to align with listed grates

How does the reversible design help my cooking?

The two-sided cast iron surface offers flexible cooking options: a smooth side for delicate foods and a ridged side to create grill marks and drain fat. Both sides are thick cast iron, so they store heat and release it evenly—important for consistent searing and even browning.

• Smooth side: ideal for pancakes, eggs, seafood, and veggies
• Ridged side: provides grill marks and lets grease escape through oil holes
• Cast iron core: retains heat for steady temperature across the plate
• Drain holes: redirect grease away from food for cleaner cooking

What are the material and care details I should know?

The griddle is made from durable cast iron for long service life and superior heat retention compared with thin metal plates. It ships pre-seasoned and improves with regular seasoning—like classic cast iron cookware—forming a natural non-stick layer over time.

• Material: thick cast iron for durability and even heating
• Pre-seasoned: improves with repeated use and oiling
• Cleaning: scrape and wipe; reapply oil to maintain seasoning
• Durability: resists chipping or cracking when handled properly

How will this change what I can cook on the grill?

Adding this griddle expands your grill’s versatility so you can cook breakfast, seafood, small or flaky ingredients, and sauces without losing them through the grates. It creates a predictable surface for small items that would otherwise fall through and helps you get consistent results fast.

• Cook eggs, pancakes and hashbrowns without sticking or sagging
• Sear scallops, shrimp and small cuts evenly across the plate
• Prepare stir-fry-style vegetables directly on the grill
• Use the ridged side to reduce flare-ups and drain excess fat

Who is this for: The BBQ-PLUS reversible cast iron griddle plate is built for Napoleon grill owners who want a reliable, multi-purpose cooking surface. It’s ideal for backyard cooks who make breakfast on the grill, seafood and delicate proteins, or anyone needing an even, sturdy searing surface that fits popular LEX, Prestige and PRO 500 models. If you want a durable replacement or an upgrade that broadens what your grill can do, this cast iron griddle is a practical, long-lasting choice.
