I got a stovetop griddle that fits over two burners. It's very old
and has a beautiful seasoning. It's kinda fun to be able to move
stuff around to different areas of heat. Louise paid a buck for it at
a resale store. I love it.

I had one that was made for camping and wasn't long enough to use
properly over two burners. This one is 22" X 11" plus the lip. I
sold the other one in a garage sale for buck, so I guess this one was
free.

Heh. I have two (inherited one somehow) and I don't like either one.
I got it for the grill side, but the griddle side isn't very good
either.

They're not all created equal. The one I got rid of was too small and
the surface was rough. The new one is smooth as a baby's ass and
seasoned to perfection. It's as non-stick as my old Wagner and
Griswold pans. It's my new pan of choice for almost everything
including eggs.

Thanks. I'm lucky for many reasons, including the pan.
