Why a Propane Griddle Grill Combo Transforms Your BBQ

Introduction

Grilling on traditional grill grates has its limits—literally. As functional as they are for burgers, steaks, and hot dogs, they fall short when it comes to more delicate, smaller, or liquid-based foods. Ever tried cooking bacon on a regular grill? It slips through the grates. Eggs? A mess. Hash browns? Unevenly cooked. Stir-fried rice? Forget about it.

This is where a propane griddle grill combo truly shines, especially when enhanced with an Arteflame insert. An Arteflame insert combines a classic grill grate with a solid, flat-top griddle—giving you the power to cook virtually anything. From breakfast to dinner, your existing grill transforms into a versatile cooking powerhouse. It's not just an upgrade—it’s a whole new culinary experience.

Why Griddle Matters

The traditional backyard grill isn’t going anywhere, but it's clear that modern grilling needs more than just char marks. Enter the propane griddle grill combo—a hybrid solution that blends the high-heat searing of an open flame with the precision and versatility of a flat-top surface. If you're serious about outdoor cooking, it’s a game-changer.

Expand Your Menu

A griddle exponentially increases the types of food you can prepare. With grill grates alone, you’re restricted to larger items that won’t slip through. A griddle breaks down those barriers.

• Breakfast favorites: Cook bacon, pancakes, eggs, and hash browns with ease.
• Asian cuisine: Prepare stir-fried rice, dumplings, or noodle dishes.
• Vegetables & sides: Sauté onions, mushrooms, peppers, or even corn without fearing they’ll fall through.
• Smash burgers: Achieve that perfect crust only a griddle can provide.

With a combination grill and griddle, you don’t have to choose—you can do it all on the same surface, often at the same time.

Simplify Meal Prep

Ever felt overwhelmed trying to coordinate side dishes, proteins, and more on a single grill grate? A griddle combo lets you cook everything simultaneously. Toast buns on one side, fry onions on the griddle, and sizzle patties on the grate. No trips back to the kitchen, and no juggling kitchen pans on an outdoor burner.

Even Heat Distribution

One standout benefit of a griddle is consistent, even heat across the surface. Unlike open flame grilling—which can cause hot and cold spots depending on the flame or grill design—a griddle ensures uniform cooking. That means fewer flare-ups, better searing, and more predictable results.

Cleaner and Safer

Griddles contain the grease and juices, reducing flare-ups that can char your food or cause dangerous flarebacks. Plus, cleanup is often more straightforward. Scrape the surface clean, and you’re ready for your next meal—no need to scrub gunked-up grates.

Ultimate Customization with Arteflame Inserts

The real magic happens when you pair this concept with an Arteflame insert, which combines both grate and griddle surfaces in one seamless design. Rather than buying a whole new grill, you simply insert the Arteflame into your existing setup. It’s modular, easy to install, and immediately elevates your grill's capabilities.

And because the Arteflame insert is designed to work with propane-fueled grills, you retain the convenience of quick-start cooking with the expanded benefits of a flattop griddle.
