Weber Cast Iron Question

Will this fit a large egg weber Skillet?

Webass

Easily. LBGE grid is 18.25" diameter.  This skillet is 15.9".  I have this skillet as part of the Weber BBQ System sold at Home Depot.  I use it more on my Lg. than on the Weber Spirit.

Easily. It's less than 13" not including handles.

Have you looked at this one? Seems like the same price, but you get more for your $$.

I had a WOO made to fit this system and still allow me to use the stock cooking grate on my Small Egg. Dome will not close on the Small because of the handles but on the Large it's no issue.

Agree...this is a much better deal...and covers many more options.

If you're just wanting a griddle this one is the same size but half the price - https://www.amazon.com/Utopia-Kitchen-Seasoned-Reversible-Griddle/dp/B01HO8OBTG/ref=sr_1_26?ie=UTF8&qid=1487864806&sr=8-26&keywords=griddle+cast+iron

Thank you all for your input. My over all goal is max griddle space. I will need all I can get. I was hoping for 17 or 17.5 inches of cooking area.

just buy a Lodge skillet and cut off the handle. Buy the largest size you need that will fit. Just remember you need some room all around for air flow.

Lodge makes a 17" skillet that would fit if you cut off the handle but it is kinda pricey.

You can call around for A36 steel, 1/4" thick.
Same steel used for commercial griddles, and the Baking Steel.

Andris was great to deal with, cut the first 16"er per request for the egg.

I also like using a Griswold slant logo #16 round griddle with bail.  Bought it off fleabay for 50 bucks. 

These flat rounds give you the most working real estate for a large egg.  Seems like much is wasted when you tack on the side handles.
