Grilling vegetables on the Arteflame griddle insert in a Big Green Egg

Arteflame griddle insert installed in a Big Green Egg

Description

A two-piece carbon steel insert that turns a Big Green Egg into an Arteflame-style grill and griddle: a flat-top ring around the outside for eggs, smash burgers and vegetables, and a center grill grate over the charcoal for searing. It replaces your cooking grate and drops in, so there is nothing to install.

A flat-top ring and a center sear grate, cooking at the same time

Work the griddle ring for anything that would fall through a grate, while steaks and chops sear over the open center. You keep the charcoal flavor of your Big Green Egg and gain a flat-top.

Sized by cooking-grate diameter: 18 and 24-inch

The 18-inch kit fits the Big Green Egg Large and the 24-inch kit fits the XL, both with 3-inch risers. Arteflame does not currently make a kit for other Egg sizes. Measure your grill's cooking diameter and confirm the inner clearance on your model before your first cook.

Laser-cut U.S. carbon steel that seasons like cast iron

Both pieces are precision laser-cut from U.S. carbon steel and ship raw. Season them with a thin coat of high-smoke-point oil before the first cook; after that, scrape while warm, wipe and oil lightly, and the low-stick patina improves with every cook. Seasoning oil or a puck is not included.

Best for owners who love their grill but want a flat-top too

If you already own a Big Green Egg and keep reaching for a separate griddle, this adds one without another appliance on the patio. Follow Big Green Egg's guidance for lid position and airflow when cooking with it.

Arteflame Grill and Griddle Insert Kit for Big Green Egg Grills FAQ's

Which Big Green Egg sizes does the Arteflame insert fit?

The 18-inch kit fits the Big Green Egg Large and the 24-inch kit fits the XL, both with 3-inch risers. Arteflame does not currently make a kit for other Egg sizes.

What is the Arteflame insert made of?

Precision laser-cut U.S. carbon steel, not cast iron. It ships raw and seasons to a natural low-stick patina, much like a cast iron pan.

How do you season the Arteflame griddle insert?

Before the first cook, wipe a thin coat of high-smoke-point oil on both pieces and heat them gradually. After each cook, scrape while warm, wipe and apply a light coat of oil. Store it dry.

Can you use wood with the Arteflame insert?

Yes, as flavor. Run the grill on lump charcoal or briquettes and add wood chunks or chips for smoke.

Do you need to change how you run your grill with the insert?

Not much. Preheat, then use the ring for flat-top cooking and the center for searing. Follow Big Green Egg's guidance for lid open or closed and airflow.

What is the difference between this and a regular griddle plate?

A solid plate covers the whole grill, so you lose direct-flame searing. The Arteflame kit keeps the center open over the coals with its own grate, so you sear and griddle at the same time.
