I use an older Lodge griddle in conjunction with the 2 burner Weber grill. Works great. Love the Sportsma's Hibachi!!!

[@gilbertfergusson844]

Love my Sportsman grill and have tried all sorts of food even frying eggs I’m in Scotland

[@lauralei400]

Man there is nothing like the sound of food frying and the crackling of a good campfire 💖

[@bobjustbob5220]

Found one last fall at a garage sale for $5, missing the fire door, the bail and the draft door. Lodge was backordered, finally got the all the parts for $31 coming! Yippee! Kepp up the delicious work!

[@markatkinson9963]

Pretty clever. Never thought of doing that.

[@kentcostello8099]

I love it when you cook on the Sportsman's grill I got 2 of them. I use them at home & camping and deer camp too.( BEST GRILL MADE) . Good job on the video keep it up 👍👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🤗

[@bmfl5338]

bought one, love it, best little grill I've ever owned. high maintenance but worth the effort all the way! look forward to years of cooking!

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

See our new video using this combination right over on the channel page. Thanks for watching.

[@robinbargo4417]

Some of the best food I have ever had has been cooked the way you do it. Just from your own thoughts or experience. Fun to view your outdoor kitchen.

[@mmllgg2471]

So easy and looks awesome!

[@mattpowers6968]

Nice video. I have both of those lodge products and haven’t thought of putting them together. Thanks for the info.

[@shirleyharmon5994]

I have the sportmans grill and the lodge griddle pan. Never got to use them yet. So thanks for the inspiration next time I go camping these are going with me along with the dutch oven.

[@jacobweininger6258]

That's what i call a breakfast! Looks great I'm sure it tastes even better!

[@johnstewart8573]

Nice to see you using a Sportsman's Grill! We have one we have used for 30 years and a brand new one in the box in case the old one gives out. We also have a Lodge fryer with 2 inch sides that fits on the grill the same way your griddle does, or right on the cooker if you take off the grill. It belonged to my Dad and it is more than fifty years old. A great chicken fryer. If not grilling, you can do anything you can do on a two burner stove such as grits and a pot of coffee. When they are ready, you can set them aside and cook sausage in one skillet and eggs in another. You can use firewood instead of charcoal if you want. For a quick fire you can break cabbage palm stalks into pieces if you aren't worried about getting your skillet sooty.

[@bjclassic1950]

👍😁 Now that’s a Sunday Morning kinda breakfast!

[@jofieh.5302]

Outstanding!

[@TimberHillRedboneDogs]

All great ideas. Thanks for watching.

[@markreynolds3850]

Looks good!

[@dbkfrogkaty1]

Nice job sir. Now that's thinking outside the box!

[@johnvincent9685]

Just bought one today $88 at Walmart. Can’t wait to use it. Thanks for the videos and ideas

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

We have a whole playlist of Weber Kettle Grill stuff over on the channel page. Thanks for watching.

[@Jthornton64]

You made that look easy. I’m definitely going to check it out on Amazon!!

[@dirtydan_thefisherman]

Love your work with the cast irons. I cant wait till im able to afford some irons and starting doing catch and cooks.

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

I find most of mine in yard sales. As long as they are not to pitted, you can make them great again. I bought my two favorites for $5 each.

[@catfishstalkeroutdoorswith530]

Awesome Grill!

[@willc1182]

Fish tacos. Great video's I'm about to get a lodge my self more so to do yakitori and fun cooks. Keep up the great work.

[@sarwatahmed3850]

Amazin cook!! Makin me hungry already😊👍👌

[@NikonPhotoHawk]

Wow... looks fabulous. I may invest in one of those Lodge Cast Iron Grills. I’m actually a big fan of Lodge Cast Iron... have a few skillets, Dutch Oven and two Griddles. Best wishes...

[@larrynelson734]

That looks soooooo delicious. 👍👍❤...

[@HabuBeemer]

American Sports Academy (if you have one in your area) has aluminum domed lids with handles on the top that exactly fit the size and rounded ends of the Sportsman grill. They are less than $10 and work great for covering food as you did with your hash browns. I use them when I'm doing really thick chops or steaks. They capture the heat and smoke and create an oven effect. I put charcoal on one side to sear the meat and then move the meat to the cooler side and finish it under the dome. Keeps the meat much more moist and still have nice sear on the outside. You will use less charcoal as well. I almost never cook without them. The handles will get hot so you need to have a towel, tongs, or hot pad when you lift them off. I use the small Orca silicone finger hot pads. They work great for lifting the cast iron grill off too if you need to. The Sportsman really works well on all kinds of meats / vegetables.

[@rbfcaf]

Good job. I hate the re seasoning process. Thanks

[@barneythedog977]

Bought the flat grill thing years ago, simply because of USA made and good price. Just happened to see the sportsman grill for sale on amazon last year of two, one leg was chipped so it was 25% off so It looked cool and I spontaneously bought it. NOW I AM ABLE TO COMBINE FROM YOUR VIDEO AND LOVE THEM BOTH !

[@mcalvery]

Great video. I have been looking at these, and you sold me. Just ordered it for a Christmas present for myself! Nice looking channel. Subscribed and look forward to more videos of grilling on this.

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

THanks. I just saw that someone ordered this combo on the Amazon store. We will have much more to come with these two items.

[@randywood4782]

I like that grill like to see you cook a T-bone or hamburger 🍔 😊

[@spencergrant4906]

Chuck eye steaks are as good as ribeye steak, been cooking them for a while. Nice video

[@jamesriddle7987]

An awesome breakfast, and I'm wanting a lodge grill. I'd love to see some pork roast done on it! I love breakfast though and that's an awesome breakfast!

[@PreachermanPiper]

Now thats what I call good cooking there.

[@leonidasnchz]

If you sprinkle salt on the greased grill first before frying eggs....less sticking will occur.

[@dansherman1980]

Good stuff

[@ANTROBUSN]

I’m digging this set up. The wind has be killing my flats fishing for sure. Where in Bama?

[@pixiepqueen]

that food looks great

[@jerrycoon4504]

That's a great little grill. It's pretty versatile when you can throw the griddle on there too! I have been thinking of getting one of them for a while. I have a big weber kettle, but you have to use a ton of charcoal just to cook a steak. When I first saw that little lodge grill it made me think of the grills that they have in the state parks when you camp. I always thought of putting one of those on my back deck, but that little lodge would actually be better I think. It also doubles as a place to cook with your dutch oven. I think it would be cool to do some big fat cheeseburgers on there. To mix it up a little, you could make bison burgers. I have never had bison but I have thought about trying it for a while. Can you even get that down there? I don't know how common it is but there is a bison farm right at the edge of my town.

[@dsjoyful14ever]

Hi Mr. B, what a lovely and hearty breakfast you made for yourself and Mrs B. I love the idea of the steak and eggs combo. I usually love going to IHOP for breakfast and they also have steak and eggs or steak with a nice hearty ham slice for breakfast. Breakfast and brunch is my favorite. I think your making shish kebabs on the grill with veggies and beef or lamb cubes would be a terrific idea for a dinner. You could marinate the meat in teriyaki, soy sauce and garlic before hand that would make the meat really special and delicious. Sending you my warmest regards. I love your channel-you always have such interesting video's. Thank you for being you, Mr. B.

[@allenkersey3752]

Good morning, just finished cooking bacon and egg on my LSG about an hour ago and remembered your video. Your video inspired me to try something else as I don't have one of those griddles. I found an old 13x9 cast iron pan that did the trick, as it fit as good as the normal top grill. As everything was not perfectly level, the front right corner was perfect for doing sunny side up eggs. When the last few pieces of bacon were half done, I made a barrier of bacon to hold in the eggs. Worked quite well! Now if I can just find my Lodge griddle...

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Using what you have at hand is the essence of what I try to teach people. Thanks for watching.

[@moptrucks]

Hay man your allright!!!

[@unguidedone]

wow i did not know how well the lodge griddle fit on the lodge grill lol seems ill have to go buy these tomarrow

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Check out the channel page for several more videos using this combo. Thanks for watching.

[@filesshared9431]

Great idea! Would using the griddle without the grate be too hot?

[@richardleesaner4382]

Man I watch to cook on the Sportsman outdoor grill I am going to Academy and buy me one and I'm buying me the top so I can cook myself breakfast with my dogs thank you for your post

[@richardleesaner4382]

Thank you very much for your post

[@maximus3924]

I like your videos about the sportsman grill and have tried several of the items you've shown. I'd like to see what food you might cook in a cast iron oval-shaped fish fryer.

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

At current, I do not own one. Thanks for watching.

[@davidlarson3980]

More please!

[@randywatson8347]

Such a cool looking grill and pretty versatile. The reason I ended up on this channel is trashfish cooking and cooking with coals.

[@1mattadams]

Hi Friend. I love my Lodge too. I think it’s got the best cooking grate of all my grills. Btw, you can buy magnets for the top of your cover that work well so you don’t have to burn your fingers. Sorry I don’t re ember the manufacturer.

[@davidlucas6495]

Do you have anything with the six quart oval fish frier on the sportsman grill?

[@elkay7305]

Does the damper provide any temp control, or do you find you're using the amount of lump to control the temp?

[@JimmyJusa]

What about using one half of the grill to use a legless Dutch oven (with some coals also thrown on the lid) then grilling something on the other half? Would this work or is it too small for that?

[@fshng2fish]

How do you get your cast iron griddle level? This always bugs me when I cook and the grease goes where I don't want it to. Maybe you could explain how you do it in one of your videos.

[@skippyjones2077]

Good morning Wesley... wondering if you ever cook corn bread in your 10” Skillet ?? Thank you Have a great day...☮️

[@allenjanney8429]

I’ve been wanting one of those grills for awhile... you got me sold on it now

[@geomondiale1768]

Me too

[@ungovernableevilmonger4660]

They are on clearance at walmart. Picked up two for $45!

[@1DrBar]

will this griddle fit directly onto the base of the sportsman grill, without using the grills top, so that it can get lower and hotter?

[@mmartin581]

Do you know the best place to order replacement parts for the sportsman grill? I need the fire door #3058. Thanks for any help!

[@willythewolf1]

Lodge is Fantastic - only amazon is sometimes confusing if one does not have the habit to purchase items online, like me....

[@joeloiacono3792]

Does anyone know the model number of this Lodge Cast Iron Griddle? I’d like to buy one for my Sportsman Grill. Thanks

[@maxcontax]

Had one, sold it after one campout. Design errors abound. Heats onle from bottom, no lid so wind, rain, cold affect the cooking. Takes alot of charcoal to get to cooking heat, long cooldown. Small funny shaped cooking surface. Returned to my Weber 14” portable kettle style BBQ, added a 9” round Lodge griddle. Perfect with halfthe charcoal. None of the issues

[@jerradcampbell74]

This is exactly how I do it when camping at the race track . The family and I camp in field at VIR at least 3 times a year . Our friends are amazed at what I whip up , I mean... who has beef stew cooked in a cast iron Dutch oven infield at a race track ? :)

[@chaskingbaby]

I love this channel. My kind of breakfast. Growing up some of the best food I have ever eaten came out of grandma and moms cast iron. I am trying to get back cast iron cooking. BTW I used the link for your amazon store to buy a camp chef carrying case for my concord double burner stove I bought after your review. Let me know if it worked.

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Thanks. Out at hunting camp this weekend, so I'll check it out when I get back.

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Yes it did work. If you save that link for future Amazon purchases, I will appreciate it greatly.

[@farmer998]

I use my griddle on my gas grill works great.

[@fshng2fish]

Lodge definitely hit a home run on this one. How much does the unit weigh? I checked it on your Amazon link and it weighs 27 lbs. In case anyone was wondering the dimensions are: 19 x 8.2 x 10.2 inches.

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Heavy equals long lasting. Thanks for watching.

[@toniboyII]

Any idea why lodge discontinue the sportsman grill?

[@johnjrgonzalez6307]

Mmm looks yummy MR, 👌

[@marshmutt8975]

Love the video. You kinda put a want-on for me to get those two items. Only question I have about the griddle is what would happen if you cooked about two pounds of bacon in it an made a lot of grease? Do you think it would all stay in the grooves? I've got the Camp Chef stove with their griddle that has a trough-type cup that really gets filled up on longer cooks. Keep up the good work!

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

I have done a bunch of bacon on this before and it will run everywhere if you don't keep it drained off. I use the regular cast iron skillet if I want to do a lot..

[@davanders2006]

You have sold me on a sportsman grill. I have to get one now. Do you know if they sell a rotisserie set up with it? I am wanting one to cook duck on.

[@CincinnatiDJL]

Is the griddle you are using the Lodge LPG13? I also have the Sportsman grill and think it's GREAT! Like to add a griddle this spring.

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

I'm not sure because it was given to me and the seasoning is so thick that I can't read the stamp. It is 20 inches wide and 10 1/2 inches deep. Ot would be a great addition to you sportsman's grill.

[@CincinnatiDJL]

Thanks for the measurement and taking the time to respond.

[@lauralei400]

I'm curious also about your Security camera system in the background.... I am Returning my problematic John Deere unit and in search of a multiple camera system.

[@GeorgeSemel]

That is a great set up, I think I will subscribe! And I did! How smooth is that griddle? Would some work with a drill and wheel make it better?

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Anything to make it smoother will make it slicker, but harder to season. If you good at seasoning cast iron, go for it. Not for rookies.

[@farmer998]

A lodge should come seasoned but first brown some 70/30 hamburger on it then bacon clean and season in between with the beef grease should be good to go.

[@gilbertfergusson4329]

I’m from Scotland love your ideas hash browns are your potatoes cooked first or were they raw I have Lodge sportsman order waiting on it coming from the stated I have the flat plate you rescued but I’m collecting skillets and Dutch ovens

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

The hash brown in the video were made here at home from potatoes that we grew. We shredded, blanched and dehydrated them our self. Thanks for watching and good luck with your collection.

[@BigLewBBQ]

Looks great! I use a griddle on top of my LSG a lot. However it isn't a Lodge Griddle, and my LSG isn't the new one with our the ridges. But a CI griddle works well on top of the LSG. Who needs a Blackstone?

[@SK_CrappieCatching]

And another excellent dish.... how much regular charcoal would it take to do a couple steaks on that grille? Keep'um coming.....

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

I have not tried it yet SK.

[@scottdouglas5673]

Would love to see a roasted chicken on sportsman grill, or fish done in a fish fryer made for that grill

[@whatfreedom7]

If you use one of the double sided griddles with grill marks on the other side does it not burn off your seasoning if you flip it and cook on that side?

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

If you get it too hot, it will burn off the seasoning on the other side. If you keep it below 400 degrees, that will not happen. We are only cooking around 300 degrees for breakfast items. Thanks for watching.

[@danoesq2]

How often do you use a cast iron pan over the grill as opposed to the griddle?

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Check out our channel page for more content on this product. Thanks for watching

[@javierlizarraga6539]

What about street corn?

[@offensivejerk]

do you have more videos on this configuration?

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Check out the channel page for all 211 videos. Thanks for watching

[@justalurkr]

I remember my mom cooking on a cast iron hibachi over maybe two lumps of charcoal. Sportsman's grill is the closest I've seen in these modern times. I really appreciate your videos about it & look forward to the hibachi skewers!

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

We did those. Check out our channel page by subscribing.

[@williamfayette8621]

What's with the black specs is that safe to eat? I noticed on my cast iron skillet after I seasoned it tonight and said ought oh.

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Sometimes the seasoning can come off and stick to you food. It is perfectly edible. When it starts doing that, I will scrap off all the loose stuff and re season it.

[@lindafox6672]

Making me hungry .

[@gerardhaubert8210]

Will cast iron work with a marine alcohol stove?

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Yes. It works and any heat source.

[@manbeastx69]

Do you think the griddle gets hot enough to use a cast iron pan on it ?

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Check out the channel page for videos on several other combinations of the sportsman's grill, cast iron and the griddle.

[@gezzly72]

Going to get one of these. Do you cook chicken breasts on it? As one reviewer said it gets too hot to cook chicken?

[@ssbtd00m]

I have cooked everything on mine. Chicken, steak, fajitas, burgers and even pizza (made on pitas). You control the heat by how much charcoal you put in and adjust the damper door. You can't shut it down the heat completely but you can push the charcoals to one side or the other. A single layer of briquettes should do the job just fine.

[@JTrahanUSA]

Someone mentioned the oval cast iron lodge pot for cooking fish that "supposedly" goes with that Sportsman's Grill. My cousin (a wonderful Cajun Cook) has one of those pots, but she uses them for étouffée's, Jambalayas and stuff like that. Everything she cooks tastes FANTASTIC., but she has a propane fire she cooks over. I have never seen the sportsman's grill before you showed it, but when one of your views wrote that it was meant to be used with that big oval cast iron pot, it got my attention. I would love to see what dishes you can come up with if you have access to that big beautiful oval pot.

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

amazon.com/shop/backwoodsgourmetchannel I can't find the Lodge, but the Bayou Classic Oval fryer is up on the store now.

[@larrystephens7437]

Lodge no longer makes the fish fryer pan. There are two different ones out there 3060, 4 inches deep and the 3052, two inches deep. That is what the notches on the grill were designed for. Love the griddle idea...

[@larrysoto7186]

👍

[@ffpvh92]

Its a grill dude do some backwoods gormet burgers on it lol keep up the awesome work

[@garyletterhouse2174]

French toast and sausage links

[@barneythedog977]

I store mine in a plastic tool box, fits barely and can be sealed up and carried easily.

[@jcoburn3590]

Great idea! You could even take it one step further-if you turn the griddle plate longways across only half the Sportsman and still have room to do your steaks straight over the grill grates (for extra flavor), plus make your eggs and potatoes.

[@GUYANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

crazy looking dogs @ 8:00

[@terryevans2991]

How about stuffed green peppers in a Dutch oven?

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

I love em', but Mrs. Backwoods HATES peppers. Thanks for watching.

[@Haro-rb4dy]

Need to cook some tacos

[@geemaa5762]

"Breakfast" LOL

[@kennethkeating799]

i like how u pick 3 eggs then cook 4!!! LoL

[@nitrampd]

Pancakes, corn cakes, montecristo sandwich, quesadillas, crab/fish cakes, any kind of schnitzel, breakfast sausage, pineapple, pork cracklings, chocolate chip and/or oatmeal cookies... How about a green relish made with grilled onions and green tomatoes and whatever else... Oh man, I gotta slow down.

[@gingerpritchard2847]

No onions mixed in with your potatoes?
