Direct Store Stainless Steel BBQ Griddle DS125 — Universal 12.5×16in Small Flat Top, Heavy-Duty with Handles

The Direct Store DS125 is a heavy-duty stainless steel flat top griddle that turns most gas grills into a 200-square-inch outdoor cooking surface with two side handles for easy lifting.

This compact, universal griddle measures W12.5" × D16" × H2.75" and is built from thick stainless steel for long-term use. It provides a smooth, mostly non-stick surface that simplifies searing, frying, and warming on backyard grills, camp stoves, or tailgate setups. The low-profile design fits inside many gas grill models and adds versatility to outdoor cooking without a permanent modification.

How does this griddle change what I can cook on my grill?

The flat surface creates even contact with food, so delicate items and small pieces won’t fall through grates or get uneven char. It’s ideal for breakfast items, sandwiches, seafood, vegetables, and smaller proteins that benefit from a flat searing plane.

• About 200 square inches of cooking area for multiple servings.
• Flat, smooth steel for pancakes, eggs, bacon, and grilled cheese.
• Suitable for searing salmon, chicken, burgers, sausages, and veggies.
• Two handles make transferring between grill and prep area simple.

Will this griddle fit my gas grill and withstand heavy use?

The DS125 is described as a universal, small-size griddle designed to fit most gas grills thanks to its modest footprint. Constructed from heavy-gauge stainless steel, it resists warping and stands up to repeated heating cycles typical of outdoor cooking.

• Dimensions W12.5" × D16" × H2.75"—check your grill’s available space before buying.
• Stainless steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance.
• Low-profile height maintains proper clearance under many grill lids.
• Handles let you remove or reposition the griddle safely when hot.

How do I clean and maintain the griddle for best performance?

The smooth surface cleans readily when wiped and soaked after use; it’s designed to be low-maintenance compared with textured cast-iron surfaces. Routine cleaning keeps food release reliable and prevents buildup that could affect flavors.

• Soak in hot, soapy water for a few minutes to loosen residue.
• Use a non-abrasive brush or soft scrubber to avoid scratches.
• Dry thoroughly and store in a dry place to avoid surface spots.
• Re-season lightly with oil if you prefer improved non-stick performance.

What safety or setup notes should I be aware of?

Because this griddle is heavy-duty stainless steel, it conducts heat quickly; use appropriate heat-resistant gloves and tools. Confirm that grill burners aren’t blocked and that there is enough airflow and clearance to operate your grill safely with a flat plate inside.

• Wear gloves when handling hot metal and use long-handled utensils.
• Do not block grill air vents—ensure proper burner flame and ventilation.
• Check dimensions against your grill before purchase to ensure fit.
• Contact seller support if you need model-specific fit advice or assistance.
