Nice to see small company American made products. That worked nicely with the Bullseye. I think you could season that just like a griddle, but get it too hot, and you can burn off the seasoning. There are several cast iron 22" kettle grill options on Amazon if you want to go that way.
Are you sure that's quarter inch thick? My understanding is that 7 gauge steel is three-sixteenths inch thick. There are quite a few of these griddle type planchas that have been released over the past 2-3 years but I like that this one as it's a convenient combination grate and griddle. Skyflame makes one that is somewhat similar but it uses a 304 stainless steel wire grate for the grate side. It's only $26 on Amazon but the griddle half is only a quarter inch thick steel and not stainless. It did not warp when i cooked a smash burger on it. Grease can be a problem with these flat griddles as the grease will just flow where it wants and can make a mess of your kettle if you're not careful. My favorite griddle is the 24" one made by Titan which sits on TOP of my 22" Weber providing more cooking space and it slopes down into the center where there is a hole with a small grate for grease to fall into and down. And it's 3/8" thick and weighs almost 40 pounds! Unfortunately, it's out of stock and hasn't been in stock for a long time. Thanks for posting.
One thing I've been curious about on the new Recteq is the drippings and cleaning. You cover cleaning and maintenance very well. As you continue to conk on this (without drip pans) could you touch on that in a vid or two?
Thanks for Watching! Low and slow will always have a drip pan. Hot and fast should burn off. I am working on a angled drip pan that would take drippings out of the bullseye. More to come…
Thanks Tom for showing the grill grate. I have a 22" weber and have been looking for a Grill Grate for it. That one is very unique! Yes, I ordered it. Next month I will be ordering the Req-tec deluxe. Can't wait to order that one!
I like the half-half design wish there was a stainless option though. Carbon will require more maintenance to fight rust and this this is pretty hefty and I'm guessing somewhat unwieldy to handle?
That is one thick griddle/grill grate Tom! That RecTec gets smoking hot. Seared those steaks beautifully. Steak and eggs for breakfast tomorrow! Yummy! Thanks for sharing Tom! Cheers!
Hey Tom! Nice piece o Metal! 🤘 Hey......Do You have your eyes on the New CampChef Woodwind Sawdust Burners? The concept is nothing to new to some of us....... but the way to add Real Wood is very clever, I have to say. 👍🔥 Oh.......the Chuck Steaks Rocked! 👍 Metal On! \🔥/

Thanks for Watching Mark! Appreciate the feedback! 7 gauge is in between 3/16” and 1/4” from what I saw
Can you re-share the link to the griddle grill grate? I can’t seem to find it. Thank you

Check out Burn Shop alot nicer grates, you can personalize them for a little more, they also have some with removable center.
Hey John! I'm gonna check them out! 👍 Do they use Stainless? Metal On! \🔥/
@@HeavyMetalBarBQue I know they mainly use carbon steel, but I'll bet they can do stainless for additional cash. Happy New Year.

Did you season the grate before cooking?
Tom uses Weber no stick Grill spray on his other videos. 😎
Thanks for Watching David! I did with some canola oil at 375
You are correct Nj B, but not on Griddles
I have a similar product from the burn shop out of Texas. Great company, been using it for years. They offer lots of products.

Looks like a great griddle Tom and the price with free shipping can't be beat!
