EasiBBQ's full-size griddle insert and replacement grate convert Weber Genesis II 400 Series grills into a versatile flat-top and traditional grate setup in seconds.

Upgrade your Weber Genesis II 400 Series grill with this two-piece EasiBBQ kit: one coated flat-top griddle insert and one replacement cooking grate (compatible with part 66097). Designed for Genesis II E-410, SE-410, S-410, E-435, S-435, LX models and many Genesis 400 variants from 2016 onward, the set lets you switch between searing grates and a smooth griddle surface for eggs, pancakes, fajitas and classic grilled steaks. The coated griddle surface is durable and wipes clean easily; the grate restores traditional grill marks and direct-flame cooking when you want them.

Will this set fit my Weber Genesis II 400 Series grill?

Yes—this EasiBBQ replacement kit is built to match the full-size dimensions used on most Genesis II 400 Series models from 2016 forward. It aligns with OEM-style mounting points so installation is straightforward and secure.

• Compatible with Genesis II E-410, SE-410, S-410, E-435, S-435 and LX 400 variants.
• Direct replacement for Weber part numbers like 66097 and 6789 fitments.
• Listed comparable model numbers included for cross-reference during purchase.

How do I install and switch between griddle and grate?

Swapping surfaces is simple and tool-free: lift out the existing cooking grates, slide the EasiBBQ griddle into place or drop in the replacement grate. For griddle use, removing the heat plates places the griddle nearer the burners so it reaches working temperature faster.

• Remove original grates and optionally pull heat plates for higher griddle heat.
• Slide griddle into the same bracket positions as the original grates for a snug fit.
• Reinstall the cooking grate when returning to open-flame grilling with grill marks.

What foods and techniques work best on the EasiBBQ griddle insert?

The coated flat-top excels at breakfast staples, delicate items, and foods that need a continuous flat surface. Use it for eggs, pancakes, stir-fried vegetables, flattened sandwiches, and fast searing of thin-cut proteins; the grate restores traditional flame contact for steaks, burgers and kebabs.

• Consistent heat for pancakes, eggs, and sautéed vegetables.
• Perfect for searing thin steaks and getting even browning on seafood.
• Switch back to the grate for charred edges and open-flame flavor.

What care and maintenance does the coated griddle need?

To preserve the coating and cooking performance, season and oil the griddle a couple of times before first use and avoid harsh scrubbing. After cooking, wipe excess grease, let cool slightly, and clean with a soft scraper or cloth; re-oil lightly to protect the surface.

• Season the griddle by heating and applying oil 1–2 times before first cook.
• Clean with a nonabrasive tool and warm, soapy water when cool enough to handle.
• Store dry and reapply a thin oil layer to prevent corrosion between uses.

Who is this for: This EasiBBQ set suits grill owners who want more cooking flexibility from their Weber Genesis II 400 Series—home cooks who alternate between breakfast, delicate foods, and traditional grilled proteins, or anyone needing a direct, OEM-compatible replacement for worn grates and wanting a reliable, easy-to-clean griddle surface. It’s also a good option for people replacing lost parts with a budget-friendly aftermarket pack that restores full grill functionality.
