Cast iron pan for bge

Bobandbeans

looking for a cast iron pan for when I cook sides like sliced potatoes, pepper and onions and such. I have a lodge skillet like pictured below but would like to find something that size without the the long Handle. What do you guys use?

just find the size pan or griddle you want and then cut off the handle. Cast iron is a very soft metal and a hack saw will cut it like butter!

Lodge makes a cast iron pot with a lid that doubles as a skillet. Neither piece has a long handle. https://www.lodgemfg.com/dutch-ovens/5-quart-cast-iron-double-dutch-oven.asp

Some guys just hacksaw the handle off a cast iron skillet.

I use a Blackstone.   it sits next to the egg.

Agreed - find the pan size you need and cut off the handle. I've done it for my small & mini eggs now

This is my 16" and I love it. It will fill your Lbge just right. The pic is on my xl. That is if you want a lot of cooking space. Great for smash burgers. I found it on eBay

Forgot to mention a paella pan. Sorta like the above, but steel, not CI. Many sizes. Basically what you showed in your first pic, but with two D-handles.

Lots of good advice above. I have several pans and Dutch ovens in cast iron and carbon steel that all serve their purpose. 

One of my faves is a cast iron squared off pan with D handles. Fits my Mini Max perfectly, meaning there is good room around it on a large.

That ain't no cast iron, at best, it looks like a carbon steel pan.

Google and Amazon could be your friends here, why don't you search for something like a cast iron pizza pan or dutch oven or just buy a cast iron fry pan in the size you want and use a hack saw to reduce the handle to a stub?

Lots of good advice above...

Also, lodge has many short handle options. I use these three offen. If you look hard you can see my CGW spider and half moon stones. Love this set up! The half moon extended rack is a grill dome.

I got a cast iron pizza pan (14 inch) from Amazon that fits beautifully in my Large BGE. Only a little over ½ inch deep, so as long as you're not cooking anything that requires higher sides it works great. I use it mainly for smashburgers.

Agree with the Lodge 5 qt. Double Dutch.Three utensils in one. Deep pot, frying pan and dutch oven.

There are a couple options. 

1) kamadoJoe sells a half moon CI griddle that fits in the D&C or on a cook surface. 
2) cut the handle of the lodge seasoned steel pan in the pic. 
3) buy CI pan, you can always cut the handle off. 
4) paella pan.

I have used my DO a bunch in egg, my small skillet for cornbread but after looking on the Lodge site today I think I may add this to buy list- I have a POS grilling tray I have had for ever for veggies but this looks much better.

^^^Yes, get this.  It's CS, nice char while roasting.
I love mine.  Have gifted one too.
Works great for veggies, and searing too.  Perfect for your Large egg.

I would leave your CS skillet handle intact.  Those long handles come in handy, and the length keeps them from getting too hot.  Not sure if you ever cook over a live fire.
