Oh, and it's LARGE. That's my range it's sitting on, and it covers about 2/3 of it.

That is a Crock Grill with the burner and grill missing. I had one back in the early 2000s. The hole is for where the burner plugs into the power supply/thermostat thing. Was actually a great cooking implement, and you should try to find the rest of the parts.

Edit : heres a link to an eBay listing of the model I had.

More edit: this looks like your model

People just can't resist the urge to say something, even if it's useless. Especially if it's useless. (Even me, here I am saying something.)

But in this particular community, if you don't actually know with certainty what something is it doesn't seem to hard to just shut the fuck up. There's no value whatsoever in conjecture. I had no idea what the hell this thing was but I was interested to find out, but I sure as hell didn't feel the need to speculate...
