Crown Verity PGRID36 900mm Heavy Duty Removable Griddle Plate

The Crown Verity PGRID36 is a heavy-duty rolled steel griddle plate designed to fit the Crown Verity MCB36 and MCB72 outdoor gas barbecues. It replaces the standard grill grates with a flat cooking surface, opening up a wider range of menu options — eggs, smashed burgers, pancakes, thin cuts, and finely diced ingredients — that would not be practical on an open-bar grill. The slide-on fitting requires no tools, so the changeover between grill and griddle cooking can be done quickly during service without disrupting the operation.

In busy outdoor catering environments, heat consistency across the cooking surface is important. The thick rolled steel construction holds and distributes heat evenly, helping to reduce hot spots and maintain stable temperatures during sustained service runs. For operators working long outdoor events where the barbecue is running continuously, this even heat retention makes a practical difference to output and consistency. The included splashguard helps contain grease and residue during cooking, and the removable grease tray makes end-of-service cleaning more manageable.

• Slide-on, tool-free fitting for fast changeover between griddle and grill surfaces
• Thick rolled steel plate for even heat distribution under sustained use
• Splashguard helps contain cooking residue during service
• Removable grease tray simplifies cleaning at end of service
• Compatible with both MCB36 and MCB72 barbecue models

It is worth noting that the PGRID36 is only compatible with the MCB36 and MCB72 — it is not a universal fitting across the Crown Verity range. If you are running a different Crown Verity model, confirming compatibility before ordering is advisable. Operators who need a dedicated flat griddle surface running full-time at high volume may also want to consider whether a standalone commercial flat-top better suits their output requirements.

This plate is well suited to mobile caterers, outdoor event operators, and hospitality venues already running Crown Verity MCB barbecues who want the flexibility to add griddle cooking without investing in a separate unit. It is a practical accessory rather than a standalone piece of kit, and its real value lies in the versatility it adds to an existing setup.

If you are unsure whether the PGRID36 suits your current barbecue model or service setup, feel free to have a conversation with the team before ordering.
