Easy install and great first cook
The media could not be loaded. The stainless steel griddle fit nicely into my Weber Genesis 2 e-310-lp 3 burner grill with about 1/2" gap on the left and right. The griddle came with seasoning instructions and I competed that before my first cook. It is recommended to remove the flavorizer bars from the grill before installing- be sure to do that otherwise it will heat up slowly and not get as hot.I fit 1.5# of costco thick cut bacon onto the griddle in one batch. Make sure you haven't let grease build up in your grill otherwise you could get a flame up! I can also fit 5# of hash browns onto the griddle in a single batch. The surface did not stick at all- I showed this in the video with the eggs- they slid perfectly without sticking. After my first use I scrubbed the griddle with a wire brush and wiped off excess oil with a paper towel. I let the griddle warm up on medium heat for 7-8 minutes and then it took me about 30 minutes to cook the bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns. I kept the heat at medium for my first cook since I was being careful with all the bacon grease and wanting to make sure it didn't flame up.After the install and first cook I am very happy with the quality and function and look forward to trying more meals. I will update if any concerns or additional insights surface.

Nice and heavy
Purchased for my Weber Genesis grill- it fit perfectly. I seasoned it before the first use and nothing is sticking. This thing is heavy, be prepared, definitely not a cheapy. It seems to heat evenly, everything I cooked on it came out great, with no apparent hot or cold spots.For cleaning I just treat it like any other cast iron- water and a scrubby if needed and then I make sure to dry it on the grill so it never sits "wet". I'll continue to re-season it every few months to keep the rust at bay, but so far so good.

Top Notch Griddle Top for the Weber Genesis II E/S 335 Series
This stainless steel griddle top for the Genesis II E/S 335 models fits perfectly. It replaces both of the two grill racks and turns the grill into an outdoor griddle.Before you place it in the grill, you can remove the "flavor enhancer"/flare-up diverter bars as grease will not be dripping down when using the griddle top. It is fairly heavy, so be careful when lifting and placing it in the grill box.The quality of the griddle top is top notch. The welds at the corners have been smoothed so that grease does not collect in any weld crevices. It has a grease drain hole in the upper right-hand corner allowing grease/oil drip down into the collecting pan. The lifting handles work well and being removable, remain clean.Totally satisfied with this griddle top. It should outlast the grill.

heavy duty, fits great, nice griddle surface
picked up the stainless steel griddle surface for a genesis II e-335. arrived in a few days completely intact without issues.it's heavy, just over 38lbs. thick stainless steel. this isn't just a thin sheet you're dealing with. i had to remove the grills and flavorizer bars, wear some gloves, they can be greasy. the supplied hooks fit into the sides and allow you to lower the griddle in without smashing your fingers. great design. it fit in easily with a small gap around the sides. no warp to it, it fit in flat. cleaned it off with soap and water (not on the grill) and seasoned with light coating of olive oil.heats up quickly and pretty evenly. grilled eggs and pancakes on it nicely. the raised back stop is handy for scooping things up with a spatula (sides and front are as well). the large cut in the back lets grease drop down and away so the surface doesn't become a swamp.all-in-all i'm very happy with this griddle surface. should last me a long time with proper care. while it isn't the cleanest and easiest thing to swap in and out from my grills, it saves me from having to buy an expensive separate griddle that i might only use occasionally. the material seems high quality, well designed and well made. i'm happy to recommend it to anyone looking for a griddle surface for their grill.

I like it!
I knew I didn’t want to buy another standalone unit for my patio, a smoker and grill is enough for me. But I was curious about the flattop craze. This has been a great addition to my cooking routine. I’ve used it 6/7 times so far and have had really good results. I wouldn’t say the heat is super even, but on the Genesis it says to remove the flavorizer bars, so it isn’t really surprising that the areas directly over the burner are hotter than those that aren’t. This has been pretty easy to work around, although I recommend an infrared thermometer. All in all the cooking has been great with pretty easy clean up, which was a huge concern of mine. I’ve found either right after, or with a quick warming later on, the surface cleans easily. I can tell it is getting more seasoned which is great!I have an older Genesis (not GenesisII) 3 burner with the extra sere burner, the fit is perfect. I gave the grill a good cleaning before I used the flattop, and so far the grease trap has worked out very nicely and seems to be doing its job.Just a heads up that the way the flattop is designed it’s sunk into the grill a bit, this is a needed feature to get closer to the flames and to give you a lip for cooking, the only downside is that your knuckles end up close to the raised edge of the cooking surface which is very hot. I try to be very cognizant of this and it does get in the way of some of the spatula work that I would prefer. All in all not a huge deal, but not ideal either.I am happy, way cheaper than buying a purpose built unit, and honestly if you look around online, there are only so many uses for a flattop. So this works perfect for those times a flattop meal is what I crave, and I don’t need to have a third grill on the deck. I’d recommend this to anyone that wants to try out flattop cooking but isn’t hell bent on being a short order cook.
