Neil, great comparison, video. My halo elite 4B griddle. It was my first venture into propane griddles on my way between Traeger and the Halo and ultimately obviously settled on the Halo. I to was take back at first with the extreme heat as I mentioned to you in the message I thought I could smelt iron with this griddle but quickly learning How to manage the zones watching your videos and others has helped me tremendously. Thus far I only have use the 9.5 regulator setting to cook with.

Hey Neal, we had the same issue with the propane tank. My husband called Traeger customer service and they said that there was an issue with the hanger on some that were manufactured at the same time, with is too short. They sent him a new hanger, free of charge and it works perfectly now.

The Flatrock is my introduction to griddle cooking. I've had it for about a month now and I've had so much fun cooking on it. Treager has always taken care of me after cooking on 3 different of their pellet smokers and the Flatrock.

Love your upfront honesty with your reviews. Never allow your viewers to mold your opinion..

[steveop]

Very well resented sir . Honest, forthright, and unbiased comparison of the two beast griddles. I imagine that many folks "on the fence" will benefit from this vlog, as well as many of the others you and Amy have presented . Griddle on !

[ethanmiller]

Great review! Just got the halo as our first griddle a couple weeks ago! Like you said, if its your first one you have 0 bad habbits so the learning curve for it is different than if your used to others. Keep up the good work!

I bought the Traeger Flat Rock. large tables are a huge plus, cooks wonderfully. Large grease chute and collection basket is very nice also.

[grbassplayer]

I got lucky and got a 3 burner Halo for $200 brand new. It’s my first griddle, and it’s been a blast so far. Thank you for all of your information, it’s helped so much!

[olddawgdreaming]

Thanks Neil and Amy, great information on both grills. Stay safe around there and keep up the great videos. OLD DAWG DREAMING Fred.

[ScottysBackYardBBQ]

gotta go with the halo. it looks like a tank. love the adjustable burners. fire zones.

[michaelbenke]

Your review was great! I own a Traeger thanks to you. Your initial comments were perfect. You missed nothing. I have propane pipes in on our new patio which eliminates the need for a tank & everything that comes with tank. The biggest hassle, for me, is the open handle holes. Very poor design. I am having a sheet metal company make up covers that can be removed when needed. The biggest cooking feature is it’s great temp control. A true low temp is easy to acquire. Your suggestions on seasoning was on point. Now my top is seasoned totally. No unseasoned areas.
In short, the Traeger is perfect for me! I am so appreciative of you efforts in providing the reviews of all of the grills. I was able to evaluate the features & pick the one that fit me like a glove. Thanks again!!!

All in on the Halo griddle! Great comparison video.

[MrHCify]

I got the Traeger. First time griddler this summer and I’ve been loving it 😍

[gharv]

Excellent comparison Neal! Definitely a lot of options there, they both look to do a fantastic job! I think Halo would intrigue me the most with all the heat zones! Cheers brother 🍻

[robertbernal]

Great review Neal on both griddles. I don’t have to worry about those two griddles because l can’t afford them. But the things that you pointed out were great. Imagine if a griddle was made with the positive things that you pointed out and combined them to make one griddle. It would be amazing. Again Neal you are a expert when it comes to griddling. You really know everything about it.👏👏👏

[bubbaburgess]

I love how honest you are. That is a great video

[murdog]

Thanks so much for sharing. Really like the comparison. I own the Flat-Rock and absolutely love it. I have had it for a little over two months now and got 20 or so cooks on it. Love smash burgers and cheese steaks on it. Cooking breakfast might be my favorite though.

[gregchappell]

Great video! As always, you’re informative & honest with your reviews. Very helpful to us newbies wha are getting ready to purchase his own griddle.

[rbrown]

Neil is awesome, he is so on point! Ordering my Flatrock today from Ace Hardware!

[wyrwolff]

Great comparison guys. Love the "SQUIRREL!" moment around the 22min mark 😂 One question that just occurred to me when you were talking about the Halo's you get a 3rd party regulator that dropped it even *lower* to get a lower temp on low?.... (how many derivatives of the word "low" can be used in one sentence 🤣 )
