Skyflame Charkettle Cast Iron Poultry Roaster Insert for 22" Kettle Grills — Vertical beer-can tube & drip pan

Skyflame's Charkettle Cast Iron Poultry Roaster Insert is a heavy-duty cast-iron vertical roaster and drip pan designed to deliver evenly roasted, flavorful poultry on 22" kettle grills and gourmet BBQ systems.

Designed for backyard chefs who want moist, well-browned poultry and a simple one-pan roasting solution, this insert combines a vertical beer-can style center tube with a wide cast-iron roasting tray. The thick cast iron holds heat evenly and captures drippings for basting vegetables or making pan jus, while the vertical rack lets marinades or beer steam into the bird for extra flavor. It’s sized to fit most 22" Weber kettles and many gourmet cooking grates, making it a versatile accessory for grills, smokers, and ovens.

How does this insert improve my roast chicken?

The Skyflame insert lifts the bird upright, promoting even airflow and crispy skin all around. The center tube accepts liquid or aromatics to introduce moisture and subtle steam-infused flavor during cooking. Meanwhile, the surrounding pan collects rendered fat and juices, which you can use to baste or to roast vegetables alongside the poultry.

• Vertical rack keeps bird centered for uniform browning
• Cast iron provides steady, even heat distribution
• Center tube accepts beer, juice, or marinade for steam flavoring
• Surrounding pan catches drippings for basting or sides

Is the insert compatible with my grill or oven?

The Charkettle insert is made to fit 22" Weber kettle grills and many gourmet BBQ cooking grates, but it also works in ovens and smokers that can accommodate the unit’s dimensions. The inside diameter measures 11" and the center tube is about 3.5" tall, so verify fit against your cooking space before use. It’s a direct replacement part for certain gourmet systems and pairs well with Skyflame’s compatible grates.

• Designed for 22" Weber kettle grills and compatible grates
• 11" inside diameter; 3.5" center tube height
• Suitable for ovens and smokers with sufficient clearance
• Works as a replacement part for select Gourmet BBQ System models

What maintenance and safety steps should I follow?

Cast iron performs best when pre-seasoned and kept oiled to protect the surface and preserve nonstick properties. After each use, clean while warm using a brush or scraper and avoid harsh detergents; dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust. Use heat-resistant gloves when lifting—two integrated handles help remove the roaster safely when hot.

• Season before first use and re-season as needed
• Clean warm with a brush; avoid strong soaps
• Dry completely and oil to prevent rust
• Use gloves — sturdy handles provide a secure grip

How can I use the pan beyond roasting a whole chicken?

The deep cast-iron tray is versatile: roast vegetables in the collected juices, use the pan to catch drippings for gravy, or crisp up bacon and aromatics beneath the bird. The center tube can hold liquids or aromatic bundles, making it useful for experimenting with different infusion flavors like cider, wine, or herb brines. Cast iron also goes from grill to oven, expanding your cooking options.

• Roast root vegetables in rendered juices
• Collect drippings for gravy and sauces
• Infuse steam flavors with beer, wine, or aromatics
• Double as a heavy-duty skillet for grill-to-oven use

It’s ideal for owners of 22" kettles or gourmet BBQ grates who want to roast whole birds, pan-roast vegetables using drippings, or expand their outdoor cooking toolbox with a durable, seasonable cast-iron accessory.
