Question about CI skillets

I'm hoping someone can direct me to the best CI skillet for my LBGE.  After viewing some on line, I was hoping for a 14" skillet with the short handles on each side.  However, it seems that all skillets 14" and smaller have just one short handle and a long handle on the other side.  I have seen this with Lodge, as well as another brand carried by Cabela's. Unfortunately, that configuration on a 14" skillet is too large for the LBGE.  Yes, 12" will work, but I feel cheated with the wasted space taken up by the long handle.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    I have an XL and use a 12 inch skillet but lately have been looking at buying a half moon griddle. It'll give you more surface area but won't have those handles you want.

    Handles can very easily be shortened with a mere hack saw. CI is soft metal so if you find a 14" you like then 5 minutes at most of sawing and you'll have yourself a custom fit pan!

    What Ron said.  Cast iron cuts like butter.

    Lodge makes a 14" CI pizza pan with two small symmetrical handles that you can use as a skillet. I just bought one... fits the LBGE perfectly!
