Iwatani Small BBQ Grill Plate — 9.8" Die-Cast Aluminum with Water Receiver for Grease-Drain and Smoke-Reduced Indoor Grilling

The Iwatani Small BBQ Grill Plate is a compact die-cast aluminum grilling plate that fits Iwatani gas cartridge stoves and channels excess fat into a water receiver for cleaner indoor grilling.

Designed for countertop grilling and tabletop cookouts, this small Iwatani grill plate converts portable gas burners into a smoke-reduced grill surface. Its shallow dome and slotted drainage guide juices away from food into a removable alloy steel receiver that sits beneath the plate. Lightweight and simple to maintain, it’s suited to small kitchens, picnics, and apartment balconies where full-size grills aren’t practical.

How does this grill plate manage grease and reduce flare-ups?

The plate’s angled surface and drainage openings let fats run off rather than pool around food, directing drippings into the included water dish below. By separating juices from the cooking surface, it lowers the risk of flare-ups and keeps the searing surface cleaner throughout a session.

• Sloped die-cast aluminum plate directs grease toward slots.
• Alloy steel receiver holds water to cool and collect drippings.
• Fewer hot oil spots reduce smoke and burning on food.

Will this small grill plate fit my portable gas cartridge stove?

The Iwatani Small BBQ Grill Plate is sized for many compact gas cartridge burners and sits directly on the stove’s top supports. With a plate diameter of 9.8 inches and an overall diameter of 10.8 inches, it’s intended for small to medium portable stoves rather than full-size camping ranges.

• Plate diameter: 9.8 in; overall diameter: 10.8 in.
• Height: 1.7 in so it clears typical burner heads safely.
• Best matched to single-burner cartridge stoves and tabletop units.

How easy is it to clean and store after use?

The grilling surface is made from die-cast aluminum which wipes and rinses easily, while the alloy steel receiver is detachable for quick emptying and washing. Its compact weight and low profile let you store it in a cupboard or travel bag without taking much space.

• Die-cast aluminum plate resists sticking and rinses clean.
• Removable water receiver simplifies fat disposal and scrubbing.
• Weighs approximately 18 oz for lightweight portability.

What cooking results can I expect on this smaller plate?

The plate delivers even searing for small cuts, vegetables, and skewers while concentrating flavors by allowing juices to baste food indirectly. It’s optimized for quick, direct-heat grilling rather than large-batch cooking, so plan portions accordingly for tabletop meals.

• Even heat transfer from die-cast aluminum surface for consistent browning.
• Ideal for meats, fish fillets, vegetables, and small skewers.
• Water receiver helps maintain moist drippings and reduce smoke.

Who is this for? The Iwatani Small BBQ Grill Plate is aimed at apartment dwellers, picnic-goers, and anyone using portable gas cartridge stoves who wants a cleaner indoor/outdoor grilling option. If you need a lightweight, easy-to-clean grill surface that controls drippings and fits compact burners, this plate is a practical choice. It’s not intended to replace full-size backyard grills for large gatherings, but it shines for intimate tabletop grilling and travel-friendly cooking.
