Why a Griddle Gas Grill Combo Changes Everything

Introduction

Grilling on a traditional grill grate has its limits—especially when you're cooking foods that require a flat surface. Delicate breakfast staples like bacon, hash browns, and eggs are nearly impossible to prepare without losing ingredients between the grates or dealing with uneven cooking. Sticky or small pieces like shredded cheese, diced onions, and even stir-fried rice all face the same fate. You're simply not optimizing your grill’s potential using just its grate.

This is where the Arteflame insert shines. Combining the best features of a griddle and grill grate, it transforms any gas grill into a versatile outdoor cooking station. Suddenly, you can cook anything from pancakes to seared tuna and sautéed veggies, all with incredible control. The Arteflame insert gives your existing grill a new purpose and an entirely new range of possibilities—no need to buy another grill.

More Versatility, Better Grilling

Griddle gas grill combos have become increasingly popular in recent years, and it’s easy to see why. They combine the direct flame benefits of a gas grill with the flat-top surface of a griddle, allowing for a much broader range of cooking methods. Want to make breakfast outdoors? No problem. Need to quickly sear meat and caramelize onions next to each other? Easy. A combo gives you the ultimate flexibility to cook meals flawlessly—without being limited by the gaps in traditional grates.

Cook a Wider Variety of Foods

By adding a griddle to your grilling setup, you're no longer restricted to just steaks, burgers, or hot dogs. Here are just a few foods you can finally master:

• Breakfast classics: Eggs, bacon, hash browns, sausage links, and pancakes
• Delicate foods: Fish fillets, scallops, or chopped vegetables
• Mixed dishes: Stir-fried rice, fajitas, cheesesteaks
• Sides and toppings: Caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, melted cheese

With a griddle surface, you won’t lose your ingredients to the flames. Everything stays on the surface, cooking evenly and retaining moisture. That’s something a grill grate alone simply cannot deliver.

Better Heat Management & Control

One of the standout benefits of a griddle is its consistent surface temperature. Unlike grill grates, which feature hot and cold zones due to spacing and airflow, a griddle ensures that food cooks more uniformly. This control is essential when preparing dishes that require precision and timing.

With a griddle, flare-ups are reduced, cooking is more predictable, and cleanup becomes easier, especially with greasy or sticky foods.

Upgrade Without Buying a New Grill

If you already have a reliable gas grill, the last thing you want to do is toss it out just to gain functionality. That’s where the Arteflame insert becomes a game-changer. It slots into your existing grill, instantly converting it into a multifunctional cooking tool. No need for a complete system overhaul or expensive accessory sets.

The Arteflame insert gives your old grill new life—adding more performance without subtracting convenience.

Zero-Loss Cooking Space

Many grill owners run into the problem of choosing between a griddle or a grill section on their combo units, often losing precious cooking real estate in the process. The Arteflame insert is uniquely designed to offer both simultaneously. The outer ring functions as a griddle, while the center allows for direct flame grilling. It’s a dual-zone powerhouse, all in one form factor.

Tailored to Fit Most Grills

The Arteflame insert isn’t one-size-fits-all; it comes in various sizes for compatibility with most major gas grill brands and models. Whether you have a Weber, Napoleon, or another top-tier grill, you can find an insert to match. This compatibility means your existing setup can evolve without compromise.

Conclusion

Grill grate-only setups simply aren't enough for today’s diverse outdoor cooking needs. The Arteflame insert transforms your grill by adding a griddle that opens new culinary doors. You can now grill AND griddle all in one session—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—without sacrificing space or control.

Made entirely in the USA, every Arteflame insert is crafted from 100% US Steel—not cast iron. That matters. Cast iron is heavy, prone to rust, and can crack over time. Steel, on the other hand, is built to last, highly durable, and resistant to weather extremes. With food-grade surfaces and American craftsmanship, you're investing in a lifetime product that's as functional as it is enduring.

If you're serious about grilling, the Arteflame insert isn't just an accessory—it’s an upgrade.
