Know before you buy
The Karbon Steel Griddle is specifically designed to fit the Kamado Joe Classic Joe series and the Konnected Joe. It is also compatible with most 18-inch round charcoal grills.
Carbon steel offers the same excellent heat retention and durability as cast iron but is significantly lighter and easier to handle. It also heats up more quickly, making it more responsive to temperature adjustments while you cook.
No, the griddle comes pre-seasoned and ready to use right out of the box. However, like all carbon steel cookware, you may choose to add additional layers of seasoning over time to enhance the non-stick properties.
The griddle features an integrated grease channel designed to collect fats and liquids. This keeps your cooking surface clean and makes it easy to wipe away excess oil once the griddle has cooled.
The griddle is equipped with stay-cool stainless steel handles. While they are designed to remain cooler than the cooking surface, we still recommend using heat-resistant gloves or mitts when handling the griddle during or immediately after use.
Yes, the Karbon Steel Griddle is compatible with gas grills, provided the dimensions of your grill grate can accommodate the 18-inch footprint of the unit.
