Weber 22" Round Griddle Insert for 22" Kettle — Pre‑Seasoned Carbon Steel, Rust‑Resistant Flat-Top

The Weber 22" Round Griddle Insert converts your 22" Weber charcoal kettle into a flat-top griddle for even heat, rust resistance, and versatile searing right out of the box.

Built to expand what a classic Weber kettle can do, this full-size round griddle slips into a 22" Weber charcoal kettle to create a spacious, hard-wearing cooking surface. Constructed from case‑hardened carbon steel and pre-seasoned with food-safe oils, the plate offers a near-instant griddle experience with improved moisture resistance and an easy-release finish. Sturdy stainless-steel handles, a rear grease removal slot, and compatibility with metal tools make it practical for everything from pancakes to smashed burgers.

How does this griddle change my kettle cooking?

Instead of direct grill grates, the griddle gives you a continuous flat surface that distributes heat evenly and prevents small foods from falling through. You can sear, fry, or cook delicate items like eggs and vegetables without needing extra pans or worrying about flare-ups.

• Full round fit covers the kettle edge-to-edge to maximize usable surface.
• Quick, even heat across the plate for consistent browning.
• Rear grease slot channels fat into large drip pans for cleaner cooking.

Is this griddle durable and rust resistant?

Yes — the plate is made from case-hardened carbon steel, a process that bonds and compresses the metal's surface to reduce moisture retention that leads to rust. It arrives pre-seasoned with food-safe oils to boost rust protection and create an initial easy-release layer.

• Case-hardened carbon steel reduces corrosion risk under normal use.
• Pre-seasoned finish makes it ready to cook immediately.
• Safe for metal tools so you can scrape and maintain the surface without damage.

How do I install, use, and clean the griddle in my 22" kettle?

Installation is straightforward: when the kettle is cool, remove the cooking grate, lower the griddle into place using the stainless-steel handles, and start heating. The rear grease removal slot and raised backstop make scraping and draining easy; large drip pans collect runoff for convenient disposal.

• Stainless-steel handles allow safe placement and removal when cool.
• Rear grease slot plus raised backstop prevents food loss and aids scraping.
• Compatible with spatulas, scrapers and presses for heavy-duty kitchen techniques.

What can I cook on the Weber griddle?

This griddle is designed for a wide range of foods, from breakfast staples to high-heat searing. Its edge-to-edge round surface fits up to about 15 pancakes and handles large batches for gatherings or family meals.

• Smashed burgers and seared steaks for strong crusts and even doneness.
• Breakfast items like bacon, eggs, and pancakes without sticking.
• Vegetables, fajitas, and stir-fry using metal spatulas and presses.

Who is this for? The Weber 22" Round Griddle Insert is ideal for charcoal grill owners who want more versatility from their 22" Weber kettle — backyard cooks who flip between breakfast and dinner, entertainers who need large, continuous cooking space, and anyone who values a durable, low-maintenance surface. If you want the convenience of a flat top, the strength to use metal tools, and better rust resistance than bare steel, this griddle is a practical upgrade that integrates with the familiar Weber kettle workflow.
