Wow...I was expecting a monster of a griddle when I ordered it, and I definitely got a monster of a griddle (when they say it's 40 lbs, they mean it)! It was a bit of a challenge to season since it is so large. It didn't fit in our oven, and we have a pretty standard sized oven. Works like a charm on our gas stove - finally found the secret to making the best pancakes, and it cooks everything from scallops to vegetables so perfectly!!! You can easily cook an entire meal for two all at once on that thing! In order to season it, we had to season one half of the griddle at a time on our outdoor gas grill - proved to be an adventure, but we managed just fine! It would probably fit onto most standard grills, but we have a small one since it's just my husband and me. The heat distributes amazingly, and I know that this griddle will be an heirloom...it is pretty solid! My husband was given his family's cast iron gumbo pot, and I gotta say, that thing makes the best jambalaya after decades of being seasoned. I know that this griddle will join the gumbo pot in the family culinary jewels!
