Question 1

How much wood do you need to cook with the Cast Iron Griddle?

Accepted Answer

Find the perfect amount of heat to start, with 4-6 medium-sized and split logs reduced to coals.

Question 2

Is there a specific wood I should use when cooking?

Accepted Answer

We recommend kiln-dried hardwoods like Oak, Hickory, Maple, and Pecan. Some wood is not safe for cooking, including softwood, plywood, construction scraps, painted or stained lumber, or any composite logs containing accelerants..

Question 3

Can I cook when the fire is burning?

Accepted Answer

The fire pit cooking system works best with a shallow bed of embers in your fire pit’s burn chamber. Flames shouldn’t be higher than a few inches while cooking with the Cast Iron Griddle.

Question 4

Do I need to season Cast Iron Griddle before I use it - similar to a cast iron skillet?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Cast Iron Griddle should be treated just like the cast iron you’re familiar with. The non-stick quality will fully develop after 8-10 seasonings. Allowing an extra 30 minutes before cooking will be plenty of time to season your Cast Iron Griddle.

Question 5

How do I clean Cast Iron Griddle?

Accepted Answer

Grease and crumbs can be wiped away while the iron is hot, and you can do this safely with rags gripped by cooking tongs. Remove your Griddle from Hub using heat-resistant gloves and rinse with just hot water. The most stubborn residue can be removed with our Cast Iron Scrubber and hot water. Follow all cleansing with thorough drying. Never let the cast iron soak or be submerged in water for any amount of time. Apply a light coat of seasoning oil to clean and dry cast iron before storing. Season your Cast Iron Griddle well and often to keep it non-stick.
