Kamado Joe Big Joe Half Moon Cast Iron Reversible Griddle

It arrives pre-seasoned and ready to use right out of the box. However, like any cast iron, it will benefit from regular maintenance and additional seasoning over time to build up a non-stick patina.

This griddle is specifically designed for the 24-inch Kamado Joe Big Joe flexible cooking system. While it may physically fit other 24-inch ceramic grills, the half-moon shape is engineered to lock into the specific rack systems of Kamado Joe grills.

Avoid using soap or the dishwasher, which can strip the seasoning. Simply scrape off food residue while the griddle is still warm, wipe it clean with a paper towel, and apply a very light coat of oil before storing it to prevent rust.

No, you must choose one side to face up during your cook. The half-moon design is meant to be paired with another half-moon accessory, like a standard grate or deflector plate, allowing you to sear on one side of the grill while roasting or baking on the other.

The smooth side is ideal for breakfast foods like pancakes, eggs, or smash burgers where you want even, edge-to-edge contact. The ribbed side is designed for searing steaks, chops, or vegetables, creating distinct char marks while allowing excess fat to drain away from the food.

Cast iron is susceptible to rust if exposed to moisture for extended periods. If you live in a humid climate or leave your grill outside, it is best to store the griddle in a dry place indoors between uses.
