Ed Hamlin is the inventor behind the Grill Innovations Grill Plate. His approach has always been practical: start with a real-world problem, build a solution, and test it until it works. By trade, Ed works in auto and boat repair, where hands-on experience with tools, materials, and mechanics is part of every day.

The idea for the Grill Plate began at a Friday employee lunch. After a meatloaf on Ed’s gas grill came out charred, he set out to create a better way to bake outdoors. The result is an all-aluminum plate designed to support oven-style cooking on compatible gas and propane grills—from breads and casseroles to cookies, cakes, and more.

Ed’s work is backed by a record of grill-related invention. U.S. patent records name Edward Hamlin as inventor of the 2009 Grill Plate design patent, as well as later grill-related patents. Through Grill Innovations, Ed remains focused on useful products that give outdoor cooks more ways to enjoy their grills.
