Product Description
The Cinders Flat Griddle is a cooking-grade aluminium plate designed to sit directly over the grill bars of compatible Cinders SG80 and TG160 BBQ units. It converts the open grill into a flat-top cooking surface, extending what the unit can do without requiring a separate piece of equipment on site.
In practice, this kind of plate earns its place quickly on busy outdoor catering operations. An open grill is limited to what it can hold and how it transfers heat — a flat griddle changes that entirely. It handles fried onions, peppers, and other garnishes that need to be kept warm and ready throughout service, manages batches of pancakes or breakfast items, and copes well with stir-fried vegetables at pace. The lipped edges contain food and cooking juices, which matters when you are working fast in an outdoor or event environment where mess quickly becomes a problem. On TG160 models specifically, the griddle slides side-to-side across the cooking surface, and the reflected heat assists with cleaning the grill bars beneath as it moves — a useful detail that reduces time spent on maintenance between services.
- Converts open grill bars to a flat cooking surface without extra equipment
- Lipped edges contain food and juices during fast-paced outdoor service
- Sliding action on TG160 models helps clean the grill surface beneath
- Thick aluminium plate distributes and retains heat evenly across the cooking area
- Broadens the menu range possible from a single Cinders BBQ unit
This griddle is designed specifically for Cinders SG80 and TG160 models and is not a universal fit across other manufacturers' equipment. It suits operators who are already running one of these units and want greater menu flexibility. For sites with consistently high throughput, it is worth considering whether a dedicated commercial flat-top griddle or a larger Cinders unit would be a better match for the volume involved.
If you are not certain this plate suits your current setup or the kind of events you cater, the team is glad to talk it through with you beforehand.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The flat griddle is designed specifically for the Cinders SG80 and TG160 models. If you are unsure whether your unit falls within those compatible versions, it is worth confirming with the team before ordering, as the fit depends on the grill bar arrangement of your specific unit.
- The plate is well suited to extended outdoor catering use, including multi-service event days. For sites with very high or sustained throughput demands, it is worth considering whether a dedicated commercial flat-top griddle would better match the volume required, as the griddle works within the capacity of the underlying BBQ unit.
- The griddle sits directly over the existing grill bars rather than replacing them, so you retain the option to remove the plate and return to open-grill cooking when needed. On TG160 models, the sliding action means it can be repositioned during service as required.
