Pride of ownership is only worth so much. Yes, made in SC. Yes, you can buy 5 lodge griddles for the cost of the Smithey. But what you don't get is a perfectly formed, perfectly machined, and well thought out design. I'm a stickler for details. I don't like casting marks. I don't like sharp edges left over from casting. Lodge simply does not take the time to polish, grind, or fit their products. My new 10" griddle perfectly fits the 10" skillet from years prior. With my Smithey, cooking is a joy.

it fits perfect on my no 10 skillet pan. i am able to use the top for keeping rolls warm or for making my tortillas

I have used this griddle two times so far and loved it.

Great product!

When they came out with the 12 inch I said to myself, I wish they would come out with a 10 inch to go with my pan. Sure enough they did and I wasted no time to order it!

I just love it! I've used it as a griddle to great success. I have not yet used it as a cover.
