Product Description
The Cinders Flat Griddle is a solid cooking plate designed to sit directly over the grill bars of compatible Cinders BBQ units, converting them into a flat-top cooking surface. Constructed from 6mm thick cooking-grade aluminium with lipped edges, it provides an even, retentive heat surface that suits a wide range of cooking tasks beyond what an open grill can offer.
In practice, this kind of griddle plate earns its place quickly on busy outdoor catering sites. It handles tasks that an open grill simply cannot — keeping large quantities of fried onions or peppers warm and ready for service, turning out batches of pancakes, cooking breakfast items for early arrivals, or managing stir-fried vegetables at speed. The lipped edges contain food and cooking juices, which matters when you're working fast in an outdoor environment. On TG160 models, the griddle slides side-to-side across the cooking surface, with reflected heat helping to clean the grill bars beneath as it moves — a practical feature that reduces cleaning time between services.
- Converts open grill to flat-top surface for versatile outdoor cooking
- Lipped edges contain food and reduce mess during busy service
- Sliding action on TG160 models assists cleaning of the grill surface
- Thick aluminium plate retains heat well across the cooking area
- Extends the range of dishes possible from a single BBQ unit
This griddle is designed specifically for Cinders SG80 and TG160 models — it is not a universal fit for other manufacturers' equipment. It is best suited to operators already running Cinders BBQ units who want greater menu flexibility without adding another piece of kit. For sites with very high throughput demands, it is worth considering whether a dedicated commercial griddle or a larger Cinders unit would better match the volume required.
If you're unsure whether this griddle is the right fit for your current setup or the events you're catering, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The flat griddle is designed to work with the Cinders SG80 single grill and TG160 models. It is not intended as a universal accessory and may not seat correctly on other manufacturers' equipment, so it is worth confirming your existing unit before ordering.
- The 6mm aluminium construction holds heat reasonably well for typical outdoor event volumes — breakfasts, onions, vegetables, and similar items. For very high-throughput continuous cooking over several hours, a heavier-duty dedicated griddle unit may offer better performance and temperature consistency.
- The griddle sits on top of the existing grill bars rather than replacing them. On TG160 models it is designed to slide laterally across the bars, which has the secondary benefit of cleaning the grill surface through reflected heat as it moves.
