Does griddle heat up & function properly If you remove the grill grate and replace it with the griddle? I know that griddle is NOT the same size.

I don't see why not. The griddle would then rest on it's handles, supported by the edges of the aluminum bottom half of the grill body (not the removable handles, but the ones cast into the ends). The griddle can be positioned near the middle of the grill so that the burner is almost perfectly situated under the griddle, so in theory it might even heat up faster and get hotter with the grill grate removed, but I've never tried it this way. Bear in mind that the griddle has only about 2/3 the area of the grill grate, so there will be a sizable gap in front of and behind the griddle if you use it this way. I don't see why not.

Honestly I have never removed the grill grate. I just drop it right on top and never worry about it. That also gives me the grill in front to grill something if I need to. I really enjoy this grill and glad I bought it.

I don't know; I never tried it that way. I think the directions call for it to rest on the grates and that is always how I have used it.

Gooday, Have not tried taking the grill plate off and use the Breakfast plate alone, that is not what Weber advocate as far as I am aware, as you say it is designed to just sit on the existing Grille.Am seriously disappointed with the one I have, (genuine Weber,) used it only once and would not successfully fry eggs unless you closed the lid. Afraid it is gathering dust waiting for me to list it for sale. Cheers,Oz T.

I use my griddle at least once each weekend during the summer (on the beach) and it works great. The griddle rests on the grate, I do not remove it, and can see no reason to do so. The griddle is heavy, heats evenly and I strongly recommend it.

I think it heats pretty evenly. I let it get nice and hot and don't overcrowd it. In my opinion the griddle is more functional than the grill.

We have replaced ours several years ago and they work great. Make certain to measure the inside of yourgrill, realizing there is a little wiggle room depending on the width of ledge the grill sits on. I would first try and check the particular brand of grill you purchased and see whether replacements are available. As long as the inside measurements accommodate the two new grill measurements, go for it!

Sorry I don't know but this grill does say "Griddle designed for the Weber Baby Q, Weber Q100, and Weber Q120 grills". I did see that the Q220 is redesigned and is now Q2200. Would the Q220 been redesigned from the Q120? I would go to a store where they sell the grills to check it out.

I have one but haven't use the grill, just the griddle. I don't know about the grill

I have used the griddle on either side. The sear station is not activated unless you turn it on separately from the burners. I have not used the griddle and the sear at the same time.

My grill does not have the self-clean feature, but I warm the grates up every time I fire up the grill for 20 minutes on high and have no problem. If I had to guess, if your grill can handle it, the grates can handle it at least as well.

Yes you could use the right side to heat a pot . You can remove the griddle but to heat a pot I think it would work fine just putting the pot on the griddle . Most of these grills are the same size, you could probably find a full size grate to fit it as well.

As listed previously the grill will function normally except for the side burner. There will be some open screw holes and you will not have a shelve to put stuff on. Be sure that if you do not put the side burner on that you cap the gas line. Enjoy the grill it works great.

Heat the grill up to temperature, oil the grates using a rolled up paper towel saturated with vegetable oil and you should be fine. I rarely have food stick to this grill and I've been using it for over 3 yrs. now. Cleanup is a breeze, just brush it down with a grill brush after you finish cooking while the grill is still hot and then again before you start cooking. Wait until the grill is hot and brush it down again and then oil the grates as I mentioned above.

It doesnt, you can only remove the work área. but otherwise, the griddle is fixed size. It is a great griddle!!

sorry to say that is common withe these types of grills. green egg included. the easiest thing to do is coat with pam and then burn the grates every use. thats not fixing the problem it just cleans them. It's like having cast iron pans. you could bring them inside every use but that may be a hassle. sorry about the issu. :(

Yes, it comes with the grill grate and can be used with or without it. I used it yesterday at a SuperBowl party. Its great.

No, it sits on top of your stove and uses the gas flames or electric coil to heat up, this is why they say not to use it on glass-top stoves. They mention that it might be better to remove the grate above the gas flame, but on my stove that makes the grill uneven, and it spills enough as it is with the grate keeping it level.

Ralph, Im assuming that you have a motor that you replacing, and that your current motor mounts to your grill on a sheetmetal bracket. I'm not sure of the fitment of this new motor to your brand of grill, but the description says it fits standard 3" bracket. I use this motor on a Member's Mark (Bakers and Chefs) grill and use the bracket that I received with the grill I did not need to get a special mounting bracket for this motor. If your current grill has a bracket that receives the motor by sliding the motor vertically into it from the top, I recommend that you measure the width of the bracket that interfaces with your current motor and confirm that it is a 3".

I purchased a3 burner Ducane about a month ago. My grates do not move. Great grill.

I think I've figured it out....I've had problems with mine staying only on high. When I first used it you could adjust it from high to low. Mine got screwed up by moving it once (I have it on a cart) and that's when I only had high afterwards. I jiggled stuff around like where the burner was at, or whatever would jiggle and now it's working fine. I got stuck on high only a couple more times and whatever I jiggled corrected it. Otherwise, I LOVE this grill....cooks so well, never had anything burn or flare up.
