Built in cast iron griddle

Asked this on shaggy a month ago ( http://www.shaggytexas.com/board/showthread.php/185180-I-want-a-36-quot-gas-flattop-insert-need-recs ).

 

Anyhow having a hard time finding a solid 36" cast iron surface griddle. Many SS ones available but I'd rather cast iron.

 

Have any of yall done this on your outdoor area?

Wouldn't rust and corrosion be a major concern if it is outside full time?

Covered patio, but properly seasoned it's fine.

See if Blackstone sells the griddle only.

Blackstone

Blackstone isn't cast iron, which I think would be a bitch to keep from rusting outside even under a covered patio.

I think the reason you can't find them is that it is a bad idea in a permanent outdoor application.  That Blackstone griddle top looks like the best of both worlds.

Having spent years in commercial kitchens and having scrubbed SS griddles clean at the end of the night I wouldn't recommend any griddle be built-in.  If you are a type A you're really going to hate cleaning it. Get something that sits on top of the burners and you can take to the sink to clean. This also gives you the flexible to use those burners for other things.

Two griddles maybe a much easier way to get to 36 than a single one.

Blackstone sells a hard cover for their 36" griddles.

I also have the larger version of the Little Griddle Professional and it work great and has zero rust.

Damn this sounds like a legit outdoor kitchen option

They do, but it is table top.
