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

I knew the second I scrolled it into view. I miss mine. Might buy one off eBay now than you have reminded me of their existence.

My wife said I bet the burner and grill were either sitting close to it or in the store at the same time.

These things get separated at the thrift store and you never know they go together
