Cast iron griddle - can I ...

[prairie hill]

... grind off a handle? I have a sizable rectangular griddle (new) that has a handle at each end. Because of (and only because of - the placement would be ideal without it) the "other" end handle, it displaces burner coverage on our stove.
Is there some way it can be ground off without cracking the griddle or weakening it in any way?
Not sure which forum to post this in, so am going to post in several. Thanks for any insight.

If yours is like mine (Lodge) I can't think of any reason it would hurt the griddle itself to take a handle off. It is just there to make it easier to pick up, it will be pretty unwieldy with only one. I have no idea how you would get it off though.

I would just cut it off with my angle grinder and a thin ferrous metal blade, then smooth the edges with a regular grinding disk.

Yes, I agree with Yvonne's Hubby. Cast iron is pretty tough. When cutting it with a cut-off wheel, it's going to throw some pretty mean sparks, so make sure you are doing it in an area that won't catch fire. After the main cut off, use a small hand grinder to smooth it and make it look all pretty.

If this is a new griddle, such as a Lodge, it's of no consequence. If it's an antique, I'd think about it again.
