Quick answer
Yes, if your kamado is an XL or a Big Joe, or if you accept cooking with the lid open. Seasoned cast iron, 30 cm, about 3 kg, rated 4.5 out of 5 across 12,409 Amazon reviews. The listing omits the length with handle, and on a Large or a Classic it probably exceeds the 46 cm grate: measure first.
Seasoned cast iron, 30 cm, about 3 kg and a long handle. It is a family size, but that handle decides which kamado it fits with the lid closed.
The Victoria SKL-212 is a round, one-piece skillet of seasoned cast iron, 30 cm across, with a long handle, an auxiliary handle on the opposite side and two pouring spouts. The listing says it is seasoned with 100 % linseed oil with Kosher certification, ready to use, and gives 260 °C as the maximum temperature in the technical table. It weighs 6.7 lb, about 3 kg. It comes from a Colombian maker, and the listing gives Colombia as the country of origin.
In a kamado, cast iron does what you ask of a pan that will spend a good while inside the chamber: it heats slowly, spreads heat evenly and holds on to it. It is the natural tin for the smoked brownie in a cast iron skillet or a clafoutis, and for dishes pressed against the metal, such as the Georgian chicken tabaka. At 30 cm it sits midway in the catalogue between the 26 cm Lodge and the 35 cm Petromax, in a family size. For desserts and breads, the sensible route is indirect cooking with a deflector, below the 260 °C in the listing. The guide to cast iron and Dutch ovens covers the material more patiently.
Fit is the serious catch. The 30 cm body fits any 46 cm grate, but the listing does not publish the overall length with the handle, and a long handle plus the opposite grip takes the whole thing, as an estimate, past the 46 cm grate of a Large or a Classic. There the handle pokes out over the ring and will probably stop the lid closing fully. On an XL or a Big Joe, with a grate of roughly 61 cm, it fits with room to spare and the lid should come down. On a MiniMax or a Joe Jr, at 33 cm, the body nearly fills the grate: not its home. Check your diameter before buying.
The catches visible in the listing: it does not publish the overall length, the wall height or the handle length. Its temperature figures contradict each other: above 1000 °C in the text and 260 °C in the technical table. It ticks "non-stick: yes", although the patina builds with use and the seller itself warns that some food sticks at first. And handle and grip are iron, so they burn: gloves every time.
To keep it in good shape, skip the dishwasher: scrub it by hand with mild soap, dry it straight away and rub in a thin film of vegetable oil (not olive oil, which the listing says leaves the surface tacky). With 4.5 out of 5 across 12,409 Amazon reviews it has broad backing, although the listing does not say how many are for this size. This is not a hands-on test: it is a reading of the listing plus geometry.
Verdict in one sentence: a family-size seasoned iron skillet with solid review backing, comfortable only in a big kamado.
A 30 cm seasoned iron skillet, family-sized and with plenty of review backing. Its long handle calls for an XL or Big Joe if the lid is to close.

Pros
- Cast iron seasoned with linseed oil, ready to use according to the listing
- 30 cm: a family size, between a 26 cm and a 35 cm skillet
- 4.5 out of 5 across 12,409 Amazon reviews; Colombian cast iron maker
- Long handle, auxiliary grip and two spouts for drip-free pouring
Cons
- Listing omits length with handle: on a Large or Classic the lid probably will not close
- About 3 kg with an iron handle: it burns, so gloves for every move
- Says 1000 °C in the text and 260 °C in the table: the listing figures disagree
Who it's for
For anyone with an XL or a Big Joe who wants a family-size iron skillet for pressed chicken, brownies or clafoutis, and already oils their iron.
Not for
If your kamado is a Large, a Classic or smaller: the long handle probably will not let the lid close. And if you will not dry and oil it every time, iron is not for you.

Goes well with
Weber 17896 – Premium Leather Gloves for Embers and Hot Grates
The long handle and the auxiliary grip are cast iron and get as hot as the skillet inside the chamber. Leather gloves let you lift it out of the kamado, turn it on the grate and set it on the table without a burn. It is a safety purchase, not a luxury, and it serves for every other piece of iron too.

Weber Cast Iron Protector 17889, 200 ml fine-mist spray
Seasoned iron wants oil after every wash, and a cast iron protector spray spreads it without soaking a cloth. It works for this skillet and for any other iron piece you use in the kamado.

Rösle 25231: 17.5 cm enamelled cast iron press with walnut handle
The pressed chicken this listing suggests needs weight on the bird against the metal. The Rösle 25231 is a 17.5 cm enamelled cast iron press with a walnut handle: it sits on the opened chicken inside the skillet and keeps it flat. The handle is wood, but the iron heats up all the same, so wear gloves. It is small next to a 30 cm skillet, so place it over the thickest parts.

FAQ
Will it fit in my kamado with the lid closed?
It depends on the size. The body is 30 cm, but the listing does not publish the length with the handle, and a long handle plus the opposite grip takes the whole thing, as an estimate, past the 46 cm grate of a Large or a Classic: there the handle sticks out and the lid will normally not close fully. On an XL or a Big Joe, with a grate of roughly 61 cm, it fits with room to spare. Measure yours before ordering.
How does it differ from the 26 cm Lodge, the 25 cm Victoria and the 35 cm Petromax in the catalogue?
It is a matter of size and handles. The 26 cm Lodge is more compact and leaves more margin on the grate; the 25 cm Victoria GDL-185, this one's sister, has two grips instead of a long handle and fits with the lid closed in a Large or a Classic, which this 30 cm one with its long handle cannot do: it only fits an XL or a Big Joe. The Petromax FP35 is 35 cm and, with its grips, also asks for a big kamado. For all of them fit is settled the same way: by measuring the pan with its handle and your kamado's grate.
Does it need seasoning before first use, and how do I look after it?
No seasoning is needed: according to the listing it leaves the factory with a coat of linseed oil. Before its first use, a wash with mild soap and warm water and a thorough drying is enough. The first few cooks may stick a little; the seller admits it and advises using plenty of oil until the patina forms. After that, always by hand, dry, and with a film of vegetable oil; olive oil is best avoided. The dishwasher is out.
Can I put it straight onto the coals?
The listing presents it as suitable for campfire and barbecue and for high temperatures, but also asks you to avoid sudden temperature changes, drops and knocks. For a brownie or a clafoutis, indirect cooking with a deflector is the way, and for pressed chicken, controlled heat rather than live coals right under the base. The prudent course is to heat it slowly and never cool it with cold water.
