Which Weber grills will this griddle fit?

The DC128 7658 was made to replace the original griddle on numerous Weber Spirit and Genesis models across several generations. It fits Spirit 200 and 300 lines—including Spirit E310/E320/E330 and Spirit S310/S320/S330—and many older Genesis Silver, Gold and Platinum series grills (2000–2010 models).

• Fits Spirit II E-310/E-320/E-330 and Spirit II S-310/S-320/S-330 models.
• Also suitable for many Genesis Silver/Gold/Platinum models (Genesis I–IV, 1000–3500 ranges).
• Not compatible with Genesis 300 and Genesis II 300 grills—verify your model first.

How does the griddle handle heat and cooking performance?

Cast iron is prized for steady heat retention and even surface temperature, and the matte enamel finish on this griddle helps protect the metal while minimizing sticking. Expect consistent searing, good browning and a firm cooking plane for vegetables, seafood, pancakes and other sensitive foods that might fall through standard grates.

• Thick cast iron holds heat for steady searing and browning.
• Matte enamel reduces direct rusting and helps with food release when seasoned.
• Raised lip around the edge keeps juices and food on the cooking surface.
• Solid one-piece design avoids food falling between bars like traditional grates.

What maintenance keeps this griddle performing and rust-free?

Cast iron needs routine care: scrape off residue, apply a light coat of cooking oil, and store it dry. Follow a few simple habits and the griddle will outlast many seasons while improving its nonstick character with use.

• Scrape and clean after each use; avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
• Season by brushing with cooking oil after cleaning while warm.
• Leave grill vents slightly open to reduce condensation when cooling.
• For long storage, heavily oil the griddle and keep it covered or wrapped in plastic in a dry place.

How easy is it to install and what should I check before buying?

Installation is straightforward: remove the old cooking grate and drop this griddle into the same slots if your model is compatible. Before purchasing, measure your existing griddle and verify model compatibility against the listed Spirit and Genesis series to ensure a proper fit.

• Dimensions: 17.5 x 12 x 2.0 inches — confirm against your original part.
• Check your grill model and production year; some Genesis and Spirit variants differ.
• Use non-metallic tools to protect the enamel finish during cooking and cleaning.
• Contact seller support if you’re unsure about fit—the vendor offers responsive help.
