When I make spatchcock chicken I like to put a cast iron skillet underneath the roasting chicken and the chicken juices drip into my root veggies during the cook. Delicious !!

I've used a regular skillet in the past that has a handle but the handle takes up most of the room in the grill, and a Regular skillet is only about 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep, aren't able to cook much

so I found that this two handle cast iron skillet is perfect fit.

It's like it was designed for the Joe classic! It's just wide enough to take up the whole grill space when you drop it in to the lower shelf and it's exactly deep enough so you can still put the upper shelf/grill on top for grilling the chicken

Also, this is a quality piece of cookery, heavy duty and I can't wait to try some additional dishes that involved slow roasting veggies, or jambalaya etc.

hands down the best security tool I have in the house. I truly don't own anything heavier. beyond well made. Preppers can't make bunkers more sturdier. Plastic biodigrates in like 400 years. If it started to rust today, it wouldn't fail me in my lifetime. I used one day as a door stop and threw my back out trying to move it from said position. This thing is a beast and I love it.

I can't say enough good things about this pan. It's preseasoned but I ran it through another seasoning routine before use. I bought it solely to make deep dish pizzas, and it does not disappoint in that regard. Preheat on the stove before putting it in the oven or your crust won't get done on the bottom but your cheese will be done on top. I don't know if it is because of my extra seasoning before i used it, but the pizzas slide right out of this thing. The high sloped sides mean you can layer up till your heart's content, and slide the pizza out on to a board when it's done. I've been making pizzas so wrong for so long, now I can finally make a decent pie.

I'm sure it works well for other things too.

As for the quality control comments, my pan arrived with no odd pits or anything out of the ordinary. I'm ecstatic with its quality for the price paid--I would have paid more if needed. The "easy to clean" star rating makes me chuckle. It's cast iron. Don't clean it, just wipe it out and bag it up until your next use.

All I can say is WOW!! This is one whopper of a skillet, lol. If you need a really nice big one, this is it. I haven't cooked in mine yet, I just cleaned it and seasoned it some more. It's so big that it's actually a bit awkward for me. I have to say that the metal is a tad bit on the rough side compared to Lodge but it might be ok, gonna keep it and give it a go. I bought this so I could fry up a big skillet of fried taters and have plenty of room to work with, flipping them in skillet without making a mess and being able to fry up big batches of meat at once, pizza and whatever. I love adding new pieces to my cast iron collection! This and one other piece, is the first I've bought to try out, that was from china, all my others are Lodge. I prefer the Lodge, smoother surface over the china rougher stuff but this one I'm willing to try out because it's not to bad compared to this other brand I tried.

I finally actually used this and had it over 2 electric burners. Although one burner was smaller than the other and I didn't have adequate burner surface on stove to fry good on entire skillet, it fried everything great on the big burner side and nothing stuck. It would be great on a bigger stove with 2 large burners or in oven to bake in and outside over fire. Definitely give it 2 thumbs up!

This large pan has a very good value for the money. It fits inside of my kamado Joe classic 18 in with no problem. As you can see I can cook six pieces of full-sized bacon easily without having to cut it. Maybe even a 7th piece might fit if I tried. The seasoning was just okay. I had to add seasoning to it so it would be a little better non-stick. I did not notice any quality problems like some of the other reviewers noticed on my pan. I'm guessing that they probably had several molds for this pan and maybe mine is a better mold. This pan is also come in useful for preparing whole turkey and whole chicken as it is big enough to contain the mess even if I don't cook in it.
