ARTEFLAMEGreen Egg Flat Top Griddle | Grill Grate Replacement Insert With Center Grill Grate | Accessory for Gourmet Outdoor Cooking (18 1/8"Ø, Fits Kamado Classic Joe With Flexible Cooking Rack)

I’d like to add that this purchase was my first time buying anything like this. I have been seeing the videos and my curiosity kept growing, so I pulled the trigger. I am so completely satisfied with this product that I have since purchased another one. I will admit there’s a learning curve. You really have to be patient and wait for the fire to be just right, but to me that’s part of the experience. My favorite food to cook on this has been burgers. They’re so easy and deliciously crispy it’s unreal. My recipe is To get the Arteflame good and hot, throw a little bacon grease or butter down and then the ball of ground chuck goes down. The sizzle is so appetizing. Next I’ll grab my cast iron grill press and smash them for about 7-10 seconds of pressure then move around to the other ones and do the same. After the juices start to puddle up in the center (you’ll know when to flip them, just don’t flip them too early) gently scrape the burgers (yes, I said scrape) off of the Arteflame and flip. When you see that beautiful brown crispy burger you’ll know you did it right. Throw some cheese on there and then get ready to toast the buns. The burgers cook for 2 and a half to 3 minutes each side. That first bite is out of this world. If you like the taste of Steak ‘n Shake or Culver’s this is for you. My kids ask for them at least once a week. I have most definitely recommended this to all of my friends. Customer service is beyond top notch. I actually purchased the wrong size at first, and didn’t really realize it until after I had seasoned it. Be sure to email the company if you have a Vision Kamado. The grate size is not 18” for that grill like I thought, it’s actually 19.75 and yes they make it and will send it to you. When I put the 18” on my grill I kept loosing food off the outside. After contacting the company through Amazon the owner actually personally emailed me back and made it right, even though it was my fault. They made me a no brainer offer on the right size grate for my vision and it was here within a few days! Like I said, great product and even greater customer service makes this purchase easier to swallow. I will continue to cook on this Arteflame until it becomes time to buy a bigger one! Thanks Arteflame!

I've used my Arteflame "plancha" a few times now and absolutely love it. I've cooked squash, a sliced potato dish, hamburgers, hot dogs and brats so far. The burgers were probably the best I've ever made! Crispy on the outside but juicy on the inside. I enjoy cooking on it so much I found and ordered a book dedicated to cooking on a plancha. I'm really not sure if I'll ever go back to the original grill grate! The Arteflame grate is very sturdy and it does require seasoning, but if you like to grill and enjoy hanging outside, it can be an enjoyable process. Eventually, I may decide to go all in on a plancha style grill, but for now this is a great alternative.

This is not a beginner's grill top replacement, but, for someone that enjoys real wood fire cooking, this replacement grill grate is really great (great grate!). It heats a bit unevenly, and you have to learn how to control a wood fire, which is different than using lump charcoal, but the uneven heating is part of the beauty of this, giving different heat on different areas for different foods. The crust this gives a grilled steak is just incredible. My first time cooking on it, I made the best ribeyes I've ever made!

This is a really cool insert for the Green Egg or Kamodo style grills. I had a shipping glitch where it shipped to my old address but while that was a accident the folks at ARTEFLAME were responding to me trying to help. It also arrived early. Now the insert is high quality and well made. It is heavy. Get super hot. I have done the burn in / seasoning and grilled some bacon and a little beef strips just to test it out. Love it.

Fits my Akorn just below where the normal grate sits. I thought this would be a concern but it works just fine and replaces the easily broken $20 cast iron that comes with the Akorn.The steel seasoned quickly as one can imagine, and the overall quality of the is top notch (coming from a mechanical properties of materials standpoint).

Biggest issue was it was not pre-seasoned so you have to do this before you use it which takes time. Once that is accomplished- the grill sears well and provides lots of space.

After proper seasoning and a small learning curve this is the best, most versatile, accessory you can add to your BGE. Beautifully seared steaks, grilled shrimp, seared scallops and any sort of vegetable that likes high heat. Shipping was timely, packaging was adequate.

Terrific cooking surface for a Kamado grill. It will easily reach a iron cooking surface over a lump coal fire of 900 - 1000 degrees. Whether you are searing a Prime NY Steak or Filet Mignon to seal in the Juices or just Blackening a fine Alaskan Sockeye Salmon filet, this carbon steel griddle allows just the right amount of wood smoke to add a little BBQ flavor.
