Add Flat Plate Versatility to Your Weber Family Q
Transform your Weber® Family Q into an even more versatile barbecue with the Half Cast Iron Griddle Plate. Designed to replace one side of your cooking grills, this premium porcelain enamelled cast iron hotplate gives you the perfect combination of grill on one side and flat plate on the other.
Ideal for cooking breakfasts, seafood, vegetables and smash burgers while still leaving room to grill steaks or sausages, it's one of the most practical upgrades you can make to your Weber Family Q.

Premium Porcelain Enamelled Cast Iron
Cast iron remains one of the best barbecue cooking materials thanks to its superior thermal performance.
Benefits include:
- Outstanding heat retention
- Even cooking temperatures
- Excellent searing capability
- Durable porcelain enamel coating
- Rust-resistant finish
- Long service life
- Easy maintenance
The matt porcelain enamel coating protects the cast iron while delivering years of reliable performance.
The Best of Both Worlds
Unlike a full hotplate, the half griddle allows you to retain one cooking grill.
This means you can:
- Grill steaks while frying onions
- Cook bacon beside eggs
- Grill chicken while cooking vegetables
- Sear seafood while preparing side dishes
It's the setup many Weber owners prefer because it provides maximum flexibility for everyday cooking.
Pair with the Mega-Flame Burner
For even greater performance, combine the Half Griddle Plate with the Campaquip Mega-Flame Burner.
Together they provide:
- Faster pre-heating
- More even heat distribution
- Higher cooking temperatures
- Improved recovery after opening the lid
- Better overall cooking performance
If you're refurbishing an older Weber Family Q, replacing both the burner and cooking plate can make a remarkable difference.

- Precision fit

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Weber® Family Q models does this fit?
It suits the Weber® Q300, Q320, Q3000, Q3100, Q3200 and Q3600. Older Q300 and Q320 models require HPSEAT mounting seats. It does not fit the newer Weber® Q3100N or Q3200N series.
Is this cast iron?
Yes. It's manufactured from porcelain enamelled cast iron, providing exceptional heat retention, durability and even cooking performance.
Can I use two half hotplates together?
No. Campaquip specifically advises against using two half plates to cover the entire cooking surface, as this can restrict airflow. If you want a complete flat cooking surface, use the Campaquip Full Griddle Plate, which has been specifically engineered with ventilation gaps and drainage holes for safe operation.
Why choose a half plate instead of a full plate?
A half plate lets you keep one grill section, allowing you to grill steaks or sausages while simultaneously cooking bacon, eggs, vegetables or seafood on the hotplate. It's an excellent all-round setup for everyday family barbecues.
Does this work well with the Mega-Flame Burner?
Yes. Pairing this plate with the Campaquip Mega-Flame Burner provides faster pre-heating, more even heat distribution and improved cooking performance across the entire BBQ.
