cast iron skillet without long handle

Where can I find a 14" or 15" CI skillet to use on my LGBE? Need one with small handles on side, no long handle. I found a 20" but that is too big.

Find what one you like and then shorten the handle. Cast iron cuts like butter using a hack saw or an angle grinder.

Lodge makes a 17" one with small handles. That's prob too big for a Large grate. I think most people buy a skillet and cut the handle off with an angle grinder. You could also just use a cast iron dutch oven which would still give you a handle to use.
Only other thing I can think of is to scour Ebay for some vintage piece that fits your needs. That vintage iron is better anyways IMO. Much smoother than the new stuff.

I was going to say like @RRP said, cut the handle off. I know they used to make them with 2 short handle at one time, but not any more. I use a 12" with a long handle on my XL. 15" is a big CI Skillet.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

Lodge makes a 17 inch cast iron skillet that should be perfect for you. http://www.amazon.ca/Lodge-L17SK3-17-Inch-Pre-Seasoned-Skillet/dp/B00063RWVG/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&qid=1443029042&sr=8-22&keywords=lodge+preseasoned+skilletToronto ON

Cabela's has some with smaller loop handles in various sizes.

Correction- if you look at product research it is only the 16 inch and the 20 inch that have 2 loop handles. I bet the 16 inch would be perfect, but it is out of stock.
FYI - the 17" lodge is too big for the large with the handles. The lid won't quite close. You can cut off a bit of the handles.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -
Thanks for steering me to Cabela's. I found they did have a 14" in the outfitter series. I feel the 16" would be too large. The 14" is ordered and on the way.
Thanks again.Eggo in N. MS -

If you have the room on the Egg, it might be best to leave a short stub of the handle to make it easier/safer to move the pan when using gloves or potholders.A poor widows son.

Bumping this old thread rather than start a new one. Any options out there that fit a large without having to cut the handles?

I cut the handle off a Lodge 15" skillet, but if you don't want to mess with the handle BGE has what you seek

@mummer43 Fair question for sure, but I'd suggest finding the pan you want without worrying about cutting the handle. You can cut off a handle and deburr the edges in about 30 seconds. Angle grinder works the best. A Dremmel would also work. You could even go old school with a hacksaw and file.

I like using the skillet lid on the 5qt Lodge Double Dutch oven. It has two D handles and even fits MBGE.
