Questions about Hunsaker Smokers Griddle Plate for 22" Kettle Grill

Will this fit charbroil kettleman?

Do you season both sides?

Answer: We recommend seasoning both sides to help prevent rust.

Answer: I seasoned both sides on the first use, and then I just keep the top cleaned and oily.

Answer: you can, or season one side & just keep the other side oiled before putting it away.

Does this sit right on the cooking grate or does it utilize the tabs in the kettle?

Answer: It sits on the tabs of the kettle. (The handles of the cooking grate get in the way.)

Answer: This sets on the grate tabs with the cooking grate removed from your kettle

Answer: it utilizes the tabs that hold the grill grate

Answer: The griddle plate is designed to use the tabs in the kettle.

Answer: Sits in the tabs

Can you use metal utensils on it?

Answer: Yes

11 Gauge is equivalent to how much in inches ??? 1/4 in. ?

Answer: 11 gage is roughly 1/8" thick. We found that this is the best thickness for heating quickly and for not warping.

Is this carbon steel?

Answer: Yes this is made out of carbon steel. It needs to be seasoned with cooking oil before use.

What is best way to season it?

Answer: We recommend cleaning the griddle plate with dish soap and warm water to remove manufacturing oils. After cleaning, lightly spray all side of metal with cooking oil (vegetable, flax seed oil). Excessive oils should be wiped off to prevent making the plate sticky. Heat plate in oven or grill at around 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. Cooking bacon or a fatty food on the first cook will also help season the metal. The plate should be sprayed with cooking oil before storage. Thank you.

Answer: Wash with soap and water. Dry at a medium heat. Smear bacon grease on both sides and increase heat till your fire dies out. That’s what I did no problems

Will this fit 22.5” weber kettle?

Answer: Yes, this griddle plate is designed to fit into the Weber Kettle 22".

Answer: Yes, it fits the 22.5" weber.

Answer: Yes

What is the shipping weight of this griddle? I am comparing and want to know how much mass it has.

Answer: The shipping weight is 12 pounds.

Answer: 11.2 lbs. is what my tracking said.

Do you have a way for me to contact you? I was wondering if you could custom make me this same griddle with 1/4 in. Steel for double the price of 1/4?

Answer: Contact hunsaker through their website

How do you store the griddle insert? Does it rust? Have anybody used this griddle with a slow n sear??

Answer: I clean the hot griddle by pouring water on it and scraping it while hot. Then I just let it sit on the Weber between uses. It would rust if it got wet.

This seems to be targeted towards the weber kettle, I've got a rec tec bullseye that's 22" diameter as well... think it'll work?

Answer: I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. 22 inch diameter is 22 inch diameter no matter what grill you have.

Answer: Yes it should fit. It’s the same diameter as the original Weber 22inch grill grate it comes with. It’s a really nice griddle for the price

Is this cold rolled steel?

Answer: Yes. It's 11gauge cold rolled steel.

How do I keep rust free? What if there’s rust how do I remove best way ?

Answer: To keep it rust free polish of its surfaces with an oil or fat (I use grapeseed oil) before using and after cleaning from use before storage. Also if you can, try not to wash in soapy water. If you have to just put on the hot grill right after to dry quickly and then apply oil.

Answer: Just keep a thick coat of oil on it for protection. Once you heat it up and apply some more oil, the rust will dissipate.

How do you clean this? After cooking bacon, burgers, etc. How do you get all that grease and food particles clean?

Answer: While the griddle is still hot use a flat scraper and losses as much grease and particles as possible, coat with cooking oil and scrape again and wipe with paper towels. Finish up with thin coat of cooking spray.

Will this fit in my Weber by itself or do I have to lay it across the grate?

Answer: The Hunsacker griddle for the 22.5" Weber Kettle will not work if placing on the grill grate. It fits perfectly with the grill grate removed.

Answer: It fits perfectly in the 22inch weber and it will store over the grate handle holes

Answer: It fits in the Weber, not on the grate. (The handles on the grate won't let it sit...)

Answer: Remove the grate. Fits a 22” Weber perfectly.

Answer: it is made for the 22, no grate needed. fold some foil under the holes to catch grease.

Answer: Dont need the grate, the Hunsaker griddle fits into the webber kettle.

Answer: You'll take the grate out. It sits perfectly on the tabs that hold the grate.

Answer: It will rest on the bolts where the grate would rest.

Answer: by itself; it replaces the grate.

Answer: By itself on the tads ... it’s great

I need one for my 26" weber. You think you could make that happen?

Answer: "The Burn Shop" will make anything you want. griddle or Custom Grates.

Anyone have any issues with the tabs bending when smashing burgers?

Answer: No I havent.

Is this good for blocking heat for indirect smoking?

Answer: This would work similar to the heat deflector in the Weber Summit and other kamado BBQ setups. However you still would need to raise whatever your indirect cooking or smoking so you would need to put a grill grate or cooling rack on top before cooking or you create a direct cooking surface.

Answer: No, you don’t need to block heat to smoke indirect. You want to just put your coals all to one side or for longer smokes do the snake method.

Answer: No. It is a griddle.

Mine bowed within minutes of being put on the grill with lump coal in baskets centered up. Is this normal?

Answer: Off course it will bow from heat and goes back to flat again

Does the griddle warp?

Answer: No. That would require some serious heat to make that happen. The griddle is fairly thick, and heavier than I expected.

Answer: Ive been cooking on mine for a year and haven't experienced any warping.

Answer: It does bow a little under high heat, but returns to normal as it cools.

what is the over all diameter of the disc?

Answer: 22inches

Where is the best place to store the griddle after use?

Answer: I'd suggest somewhere relatively dry with relatively low humidity. Also, make sure there is a very lite fresh coat of oil/seasoning to help prevent rusting.

Answer: I oil spray it with non stick oil after done and leave it inside the barbecue so no rust can get to it

Will this fit on the chargriller akorn?

Answer: it is 21.5 inches across.

How long should it last me ?

Answer: With proper seasoning and maintenance it should last many years.

Is carbon steel safe to cook on?

Answer: Yes. Keep it seasoned.

What is the exact diameter of this griddle?

Answer: 21.5" same as Weber grate

How do you handle grease while cooking? I’m imagining cooking bacon and burgers and having all of the grease pool with nowhere to put it.

Answer: The grease don't really pool in the middle. You can always put a piece of foil shaped like a bowl under the hole for the handle and push the grease there. I use mine very often and never had major grease problems.

Answer: I use a spatula to move the grease through the holes that serve as handles.

Answer: i USE A FOIL PAN UNDER THE HANDLE HOLES. IF YOU HAVE CHARCOAL BASKETS, YOU CAN LINE THEM WITH FOIL TO DO THE SAME THING.

Product reviews of Hunsaker Smokers Griddle Plate for 22" Kettle Grill

Victor Cruz : Best griddle

Love the griddle. Gets super hot and clean up is a breeze. Would recommend to anyone.

Ronald neisler : Easy to use

Love it

Kyle : Smash Burgers

Love it. Got so excited wanted to make smash burgers right away. But there is a seasoning process before your first cook so give yourself an hour to do that before you promise your wife delicious burgers. So burgers were postponed. But they were worth the wait this griddle is perfect for your Weber. Also when you cook bacon take into account for the grease I use a little drip pan (no grease fires). All-in-all would definitely buy again. Even though I won’t need to.

Ron S. : Sear-ly you'll want one of these...

Sears steak perfectly. I use it as a finishing tool after pulling meat from my smoker.

Tag69 : Not for bbq beginner's

Great product! Great value! Only suggestion, to make a bit thicker, to not “warp”, if exposed to higher heat.

Ds : Solid griddle top for a great price!

I’m perfectly happy with this, especially for being priced below the competition! It’s plenty thicc and sturdy, and I didn’t have any warping problems. Follow the cleaning and seasoning instructions and you’ll have no problem with this! I would buy this again in a heartbeat!!

Bradley J. Hayes : Best value griddle

Love this thing !!!! I decided to go with this basic Hunsaker- no drip pan holder, handles or raised edges- and I’m totally happy with it. Having much more fun then I expected. Great value, customer service and American made….:Thanks Mark…..

Kevin S. Latchaw : Great griddle, especially for the price!

Fantastic product. I had been eyeing up a Blackstone for awhile, but they're hard to get at a reasonable price right now. I found this and could not be happier. I seasoned it last night as per the included instructions (with a little bit of Crisbee Cream). Fired it up this morning and cooked the family a big breakfast. Zero sticking problems. I did not experience any warping issues as some people have mentioned, but I followed the instructions and only used about a half chimney of charcoal. I also avoided any flare up issues by placing a foil pan under each hole. Everything cooked great, and cleanup was simple. This thing is a steal at $50!

steve : Perfection. Fast shipping.

I like that this griddle covers the whole kettle instead of just part of it like some others. Metal thickness is just right.

You can put the charcoal under half of the griddle so it will have a hot and cool zone. That’s a good setup for beef on one side and buns on the other, or eggs on the cool side and meats on the hot side.

Nice price, fast shipping.

Highly recommended if you want to cook burgers or griddle breakfast.

Brian : Great value and great result

I liked that I’m able to use my Weber kettle with it and get the nice flavor since the smoke comes up from the handles. The only thing is that you have to be careful that the food doesn’t go down the holes. Great product.

JSC : Perfect for 22'' Weber

Perfect fit, easy to clean, great surface area for cooking breakfast for the whole family.

JoeyD : Expectations exceeded

Perfect for use with my KettlePizza and Weber grill

Eric Mizen : Must have accessory for the home grill master.

Amazing add on for the Weber Kettle! Cooking burgers, eggs and bacon all at the same time????

Kenny S : Him sales griddle for 22 inch kettle

Nice thick carbon steel top, fits my Weber like a glove , seasoned easily exceptional value for the money

Ryan Wolfe : Hunsacker Griddle 22"

Great product. Very nonstick after seasoning. Used it a few times a week since getting it.

Jeremy A. : Works wonderfully!

Follow instructions and do not get it nuclear hot. You do not need a lot of charcoal.
