Griddle for q 320

I have it and love it. I use it all the time. It's great for breakfast. When I'm doing skirt steak or chicken breasts for fajitas, I can cook the onions and peppers at the same time right next to the meat. My favorite use for it is home fries. I slice potatoes thin on a mandolin, spread a little corn oil on the griddle and scatter the taters to fry up while the meat cooks up on the other half.
Build quality is outstanding. It is porcelain coated. I get it hot, scratch the tough bits with a Weber grill brush, then wipe it down with a thick folded wet bar towel.
I think it is worth every penny. Here's a pic of it with a load of my home fries and some burgers on the grill.

I picked up a cast iron griddle at a garage sale that was rusty for .50$, it didn't stay rusty for long and fits on my Q's fine. I have cooked steaks on the ribbed side and gotten good grill marks and flipped it over for breakfast doing eggs, hash browns, and pancakes. If you check out Amazon, I believe you can find a new Lodge griddle for half of the Q griddle. I use my griddle right on top of the Q grates and give it a few more minutes to come up to heat. I use mine all the time and it gives me more surface area than the dedicated Q griddle.
I would point out that fitting on exactly half the grill is worth a significant amount. A bigger griddle that has to sit on top of the grates limits you to just using the griddle. I double-team almost every time I use the griddle. The porcelain coating is also a feature worth paying for. Very low maintenance compared to seasoned cast iron.
If I had found a cast iron griddle at a garage sale for $.50, I might not have my Weber griddle. But, now that I have it, I wouldn't give it up for the $50 I paid and a cast iron griddle.

i know this is an old post, but did you have to season the weber griddle?
Nope. The porcelain coating negates seasoning. Just slap it in there and start cooking.
I bought a bundle of bar towels from Sam's Club. For both the griddle and the cooking grates, I get them hot, scrape with a Weber grill brush, then wipe down with one of the bar towels, soaked in water and folded several times. I refold every couple wipes, so a new part of the towel is down. They were cheap enough, I don't care how grungy they get, although I've found that they wash out very well...at least good enough to use for the grill again. The cooking residue literally wipes off the porcelain. Love it.
