Why a Gas Grill Griddle Combo is the Ultimate Backyard Upgrade

Introduction

Grilling on a standard grill grate has its limitations. While flames and charred marks may give that irresistible BBQ flavor, some foods are simply off-limits. Try cooking bacon, hash browns, eggs, pancakes, rice, or even delicate stir-fry veggies on a regular grate — you’ll end up with a mess or a frustrating cooking experience. Greasy foods slip through, eggs run off, and small ingredients burn or fall into the fire.

That’s where the Arteflame insert changes everything. Designed as a combination gas grill griddle combo, the Arteflame insert seamlessly transforms your existing grill into a versatile outdoor kitchen. The hybrid design allows you to enjoy the smoky sizzle of grill marks while gaining a solid, flat cooking surface for everything your grill grates couldn't handle. Rediscover your grill’s full potential and take it far beyond burgers and steaks.

Why Combo Cooking Matters

Grilling purists and modern BBQ lovers alike often find themselves restricted by traditional grill grates. Enter the griddle — that unsung hero that solves so many grilling frustrations. Here’s why integrating a griddle with your gas grill grate is a total game changer.

Cook Virtually Anything Outdoors

The moment you add a griddle surface to your grill, your options explode. You're no longer confined to thick cuts of meat or skewers. A griddle allows you to cook:

• Breakfast items like eggs, bacon, and pancakes
• Delicate fish that would flake apart on a grate
• Loose vegetables like chopped onions or spinach
• Small or sauced foods like fried rice or stir-fry
• Grilled cheese, quesadillas, and smashburgers

The ability to cook a full breakfast or a full-course meal outdoors using the same grill you already own is a luxury most backyard chefs only dream of — until now.

Better Heat Distribution

Griddle surfaces distribute heat more evenly than standard grates. With no open gaps between bars, the Arteflame Insert's solid steel surface creates consistent contact, which means fewer hot spots and more reliable cooking results. Sear steaks to perfection on the grill grate side while gently browning onions on the griddle side — all at once.

No More Food Loss

If you’ve ever watched half your sliced mushrooms or shrimp drop into the fire below your grates, you know the pain. Griddles fix that completely. With a solid surface, nothing can escape. Cook smaller foods with total confidence and zero waste.

Easy Clean-Up

Thanks to the flat design, griddles are easier to scrape clean than grill grates, which usually require wire brushes and lots of elbow grease. The Arteflame insert wipes clean with a simple metal scraper or paper towel — no bristles, no rust, and no burned-on residue under the grate to worry about.

Built to Fit Any Lifestyle

Whether you enjoy Sunday brunch outdoors or are experimenting with street-style tacos, a griddle provides a surface that adapts to your cravings. The Arteflame insert allows you to use both grill grates and griddle simultaneously, offering a dual-zone cooking setup. Grill steaks over open flame while frying plantains or flipping hash browns — the ultimate multitasking machine.

Conclusion

The Arteflame Insert doesn’t just add convenience — it transforms your entire outdoor cooking experience. One simple addition turns your standard gas grill into a powerful gas grill griddle combo, letting you cook everything from bacon and eggs to tacos and stir-fry. Made from 100% American steel and manufactured entirely in the USA following strict food hygiene standards, these inserts are built to last a lifetime.

Unlike brittle cast iron, steel won’t crack under high heat or extreme weather conditions. That means more grilling without replacements or worry. When you install an Arteflame insert, you're not just upgrading your grill — you're investing in a whole new era of outdoor cooking. Give your current grill a new lease on life and rediscover just how much it can do.
