Carry Bag For Cast Iron Griddle?

[Quicksilver]

I picked a Lodge cast iron reversible griddle/grill last year. I'd like to have a bag of some sort to store it in while in the kitchen box, to keep it from being scratched and/or keep the oil of off other items. Some time ago, I saw someone making carry bags for cast iron stuff, but I didn't bookmark it and now I don't remember where I saw it. The only thing I can find now is this.

Has anyone seen something like that? Failing that, how do you all store your cast iron in your kitchen/chuck boxes?

i wonder if they make a reusable vacuum packer bag you could use... one that is maybe silicon so cleanable on inside... A handheld shopvac could seal the reusable bag up thus taking up the least amount of room... just an idea... Actually if you dried it off well after cleaning, you could just put a light towel over it and put in those vacum packer bags... done!

this may sound silly but place the griddle in a clean plastic bag then put that bag and griddle into a drawstring bag that one would use for the gym

Simple and effective. I may try this.

I basically do the same thing except for we have a dutch oven large frying pan and small frying pan so I just wrap them in plastic and put them in a tote

Not so much just for the griddle but I carry my griddle with my stove and large cutting board(size of the griddle). The cutting board separates the stove and griddle. All three are carried in a gutted dewalt sawsall box. I lay in a strip of dense foam on top to keep everything tight and rattle free.

Great idea!

I just made a drawstring pouch out of waxed canvas.

For the short term, for my trip this weekend, I just a got a cheap stuff sack to put it in. If it works, great. If not, I'm only out a couple of bucks.

This slightly OT but oh Boy do I like this!

Pretty much the same - keep it all together. I have the Camp Chef Everest and a griddle all in the Camp Chef bag separated by a piece of the foam you use for floor mats

The little cheapo Stansport stuff sack I got worked well. I'll get several uses out of it, and when it comes time to replace it, they're only $5. Also, I just got one of these. There's plenty of room to put the griddle in with the stove. I'm going to get a piece of foam to put between them, though.

Here is how my setup currently looks. We got the Camp Chef bag to go with our Everst stove and sandwiched the grill plate between 2 pieces of foam. If the grill gets to dirty in camp we just wrap it up in a garage bag before putting it in the bag .

Since we had some extra foam ( we got the floor mats from habour freight) we add a piece to the top of the stove and cut one to protect the knobs somewhat. Gives it a bit of protection in the back of the Jeep.

I too have tried this but gave up cause it just didn't fit anywhere and I often found heating the whole thing was un-needed. That said, that guy in Australia is making some pretty handy looking custom bags. Check him out Drifta.com.au. I bet he would be happy to design one. I for one would buy it but never thought to ask.

Picked up a griddle cover at a IFA farm store.

Places that might/Will have them most likely are.....
Cabellas
Bass pro
Cal Ranch
Others that sell more than the minimum cast iron options.

If you can't find something, I've found that getting some canvas from the fabric store with some heavy duty thread it is pretty easy to sew together a quick tool pouch or cover for camping items.

My wife used old towels and sewed sleeves (bags) for our cast.

I did something like this too.. I used an old heavy wool army blanket and made two bags one holds a gas stove and extra can of fuel. The other one has two dividers the pan goes in the bottom the next divider holds a trivet and handle the top slot holds the lid and it has a flap that closes the opening with a velcro fastener. The wool keeps things quiet and can also be used as a pot holder or a place mat to set a hot pan on. All this fits into a medium size tote with all of the camp kitchen stuff.
