Direct Store Stainless Steel BBQ Griddle DS126 18x12.5in Mid-Size Flat Top, Heavy-Duty with Dual Handles

The Direct Store DS126 stainless steel flat top griddle converts most gas grills into a 225-square-inch outdoor cooktop for reliable, even heating and easy cleanup.

This mid-size stainless-steel griddle fits a wide range of gas grills and creates a level cooking surface for breakfast, lunch, and dinner outdoors. Built from heavy-duty stainless steel with dual carry handles, it resists warping and moves easily from prep table to grill. The smooth, low-stick finish simplifies turning pancakes, searing vegetables, or cooking delicate fish while making cleanup fast.

What can I cook on this griddle and how versatile is it?

The DS126 is designed for all-day outdoor cooking: breakfast staples, sandwiches, and seared proteins all perform well on its flat surface. Because the plate covers burners evenly, you get consistent browning without flare-ups that happen on open grates.

• Pancakes, eggs, and bacon cook flat and flip easily
• Grilled cheese, quesadillas, and smash burgers brown uniformly
• Vegetables and fish get full contact searing without falling through grates
• Works as a griddle over single or multiple burners for varied heat zones

How durable and easy to maintain is the stainless-steel plate?

Made from heavy-duty stainless steel, the griddle resists deformation under regular high heat and is built for repeated outdoor use. The smooth surface is naturally low-stick when seasoned or oiled and is simple to clean after cooking.

• Stainless construction prevents rust and warping
• Flat surface soaks and scrubs clean with warm water and detergent
• Lightly oil before use to improve release and longevity
• Two handles allow safe cooling and storage after washing

Will this griddle fit my gas grill and how big is the cooking area?

The DS126 measures W18" × D12.5" × H2.75" and provides nearly 225 square inches of usable cooking surface, compatible with most mid- to large-size gas grills. Before purchase, compare these dimensions to your grill’s cooking area and burner spacing to ensure a proper fit.

• Overall width: 18 inches, depth: 12.5 inches
• Height of 2.75 inches gives spacing over standard burners
• Fits many popular gas grills but verify dimensions first
• Handles keep the griddle stable and make placement easier

How do I safely move and store the griddle?

Two welded handles let you lift and reposition the griddle while it’s cool, and the solid construction keeps it rigid during transport. For storage, dry the plate thoroughly and keep it in a covered, ventilated spot to avoid moisture buildup.

• Use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves when hot
• Cool fully before washing to maintain finish
• Store in a dry area to prevent spotting or discoloration
• Hand-wash and dry to preserve stainless surface
