Long time subscriber from British Columbia, Canada. Just ordered a griddle plate for my black Q 1200 Weber. Thanks for your videos. Keep them coming. Enjoy your day.

What I like about the Weber kettle is how versatile it is. Locally fancy smokers are way too expensive and not even easy to get beyond special orders. But I can grab a Weber kettle and know that I can do all kinds of outdoor cooking. Direct heat, indirect heat, smoking, pizzas. And if you spring a bit extra for the Mastertouch GBS you can use the various attachments right down to a dutch oven. It's hard to beat a Weber once you learn to use it properly I think.

Great videos (Griddle vs Grill and Griddle vs Grill 2). as always. Like you I also have the Weber Q and the Weber Kettle. A question for you - is the taste of the burger on the kettle that much better over the griddle burger when considering the grill prep/clean time of the Weber kettle? That's always been my struggle.

Yes! Checkmate! This made me real happy. So glad part one the griddle burger was better than over gas, and in Part II the charcoal burger is better than the griddle. I LOVE THIS!
Charcoal is the world’s second oldest cooking fuel. Second only to wood. I truly believe it is in mankind’s instinctive nature to prefer foods cooked over real fire! Great video!
gas < griddle < charcoal!

You're the reason I got myself a baby q. Have followed you for some time! Love your grilling, mate. Now I will have to get a charcoal grill 🤷‍♂️

Great video as always. Hope you and your wife are keeping safe and well. Looks cold over there, it’s bright sunshine over here at the moment. Best wishes Cawky 👍🏻 🇬🇧. Ps it’s time for breakfast over here, I’ll do it on the Q220 I think 🥓 and 🍳 😋

Great comparison and keeping it simple! I always enjoy your videos. Where did you get the cart/table that you are using? Is the top stainless?

Hi from Downunder! Must be me, but I get confused with grill and griddle! We would say grill and hot plate, anyway, could you eat them both? Looks a fair bit of tucker! Good test, you would think the grill would let the juices drip down. Must try this myself ... Regards, Brian.

You're a hero (again) and I bet that grill burger was tasty - I love mesquite - but it doesn't change my mind on the grill vs griddle debate. For editing, though, this video beats part 1 hands down. I wonder what would happen if you threw a sous vide/reverse-sear burger into the mix... "Once more into the breach" and all of that...

[Techsticle]

Great vid! I wonder if adding a foil packet with mesquite chips in the Q would help add the smokey taste? Would the burger be in there long enough?

[thesoundman]

Great vid mate.
Can you tell me what is the highest temp you get on the q2200? I can’t get more than 400F.

Can I use carburetor cleaner on my grill? And if so, how soon after can I cook?

[maxturner]

Glad the grilled one won...good review again. Personally i don't like thick burgers i prefer 2 thin patties like a McD type burger, keep these reviews coming!

[victorbenner]

Finally got to watch this. I have to admit it's kinda hard to compare these two under the set parameters. Adding the wood in the kettle is giving the edge to the grill vs griddle. However I'm bit stumped by the difference in juiciness, a pleasant surprise. I appreciate the side by side comparisons but I agree with one of the viewers comments that your cooks and recipes are wonderful and I think that you should keep those in the mix . And with you out of the city and folks wanting some cooks with recipes I'll give you challenge, get on a camp style Dutch oven. I'm always pushing for my favorite of all heavy metals, cast iron. Anyway great vid, keep on grilling.

[kylerdad]

Thank you for the comparative! You did a great video on this one! Hoping all will be great for you and the family! Stay safe and happy! Cheers!🥩🍗🥓🥃

[LassesFoodAndBarbecue]

Love these tests and comparisons. Thanks mate. Surprised also the griled was jucier, my experience is the opposite, although i like both :)

[djsugarbear]

Man that looks so good! I wonder if adding bacon to the griddle side at the same time as the burger 🍔 would make a difference...

[franciscozuluaga]

Excellent work Brian! I would suggest a blind test for the taste test in order to prevent any bias.

[Stickybutton]

Can you do a smoke box with the griddle one?

Awesome video, just bought the Weber Q seeing your video.
