I am not even in the market for a griddle, but when David drops a video, I watch it. Period.

[DanKing]

YES! Absolutely a how to season/keep a griddle seasoned guide a la The Barbeque Lab would be so helpful! I'm planning to get a griddle later this summer, based mostly on your guidance here

Hopefully this comment doesn’t get buried, but there is something VERY misleading about the Traeger Flatrock warranty… the 5 year warranty is ONLY on the griddle, and only for rusting through which you would almost never have to warranty. Everything else defaults to 1 year. The warranty is what broke the tie for me on the black rock… very disappointed after I received the griddle and read the small print . Still an absolutely great griddle, but beware of the misleading marketing that Traeger clearly and intentionally did.

This is the first video by The Barbecue Lab I've seen and it will not be my last. WOW... the Best, Most Comprehensive, Well Thought Out and Helpful video I have seen on YouTube in a long long time. I was searching for griddle reviews and was lucky enough to see this video. Extremely well done and helpful. Thanks !

I love my Halo 4B. Built like a tank. Cook on it at least 4 days a week. I was hesitant for years to buy a Blackstone. Glad I waited! One of the best investments I’ve ever made!

I got a BS adventure 22" at WalMart, it was a damaged box and costs me 100.00 nothing was wrong with it, and have been loving it. I happen to like that I have places on the grill that are cooler I put food that is cooked but needs to stay warm in those spots, it works.

Have the Grid Iron and i will say the only negative i have found is the side shelf temperature. My camp chef cooked a meal in an AZ Monsoon!!!

[PaulAmlin]

First, yes to seasoning and care technique video. Second, I’d like to see your take on the Sam’s Club griddle. A very low cost option that, from my experience, works incredibly well and often goes on sale for less than $200.

Always nice hanging out at your house during this fun family tradition! The food was delicious, and you made great work of those griddles!


P.S.: Cameo of Me at 10:03

Any ideas which griddles are pure steel tops with no toxic chemicals to worry about?'

[AmazingBurling]

Would love to see a video on Griddle upkeep!!!!

[Hollywuud.]

The side shelf temperature is really nice, when using a relatives griddle I got a server burn from grabbing a spatula that was upwards of 300 F

[sli]

I have the Slate 36" 4 burner. I love it!

I was set to buy the Grilla Primate but was sold out and they never responded to my inquiries. As a result I kept researching and found that the Traeger Flatrock was a better fit. Have had it several months and couldn't be happier with my decision. Thanks for your in depth reviews.

[mach]

the best comparison test for a griddle is with all of them sitting there which one do you gravitate for to cook on on a regular basis

[dillonvautrin]

Love your content, and the way you organize your results. I load my blackstone into the bed of my truck every time we go camping. Maybe next time you could include the weight of each griddle. Thanks for another great comparison.

[bronsonburks]

Solid review! Thanks for all the effort and knowledge!

Could you take a look at the Member's Mark 5 burner griddle from Sam's Club sometime?

[DMN]

Already had a grilla smoker so bought the Primate so far absolutely love it

[bobjackson]

Fantastic video!
I'm just now in the market to buy one, and my search yielded this video. Soooo much great info, THANK YOU!
One thing that's also a consideration, is the cost of the burner replacements. I've tossed gas grills in the trash due to the sot of the burners being more than a whole new unit.
Thanks again!!

I may have missed this in the video if shared, but did not see it. The Camp Chef Gridiron 36 has a leveling system for the griddle in case you are not on an even surface. This was a big selling point for me.
