Weber looks nice and have a lot of good functionality
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!!!
Great review!! Traeger #1
I really want to get the Halo, but I’m worried about the high temps. I read they have an adjustable propane regulator for further temp control, do you have yours turned down for this test? They say they adjust between 9.5-11 WC. Anyone try adjusting these down?
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
I’ve owned traeger and blackstone griddles as well I’ve noticed the lesser btu and the recessed top on the traeger used less propane and got hotter
I wish the le griddle was in this comparison:(
Use to love my camp chef because it was a grill underneath the griddle but it didn’t last much, now I love my char griller griddle
Sam's Club's Member Mark Pro Series 5 burner I picked up at $300, was curious if anyone has tried it other than me. It is my first flat top so I have no comparison.
I disagree with the prices! Good grief!
The Member's Mark Pro 5 burner beats them all at $300 on sale.
Awesome video!!! Always appreciate all your hard work and effort into making these comparisons.
I recently purchased a 36" Blackstone Omnivore Culinary series from Lowe's and have been very impressed with the unit. Would've liked to have the Weber but the cost difference just was too much.
Why the black dude by himself😂😂😂
this guy never disappoints!!
Blackstones are fucking shit. Don’t waste your fucking money by a real griddle.
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.
No Recteq = incomplete review
Yes please for a seasoning / rust prevention guide!
The gridiron 36 is a beast and can’t beat the price
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.
im rocking my members mark pro series 5 burner…. for $350 bucks… cant go wrong. and it looks nice
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!
Sorry. Love my chargriller.
What about Evo?
I think that griddle surface care would be very timely, especially for someone considering new purchase. Or even comparison of iron to stainless steel surface performance in real world use.
Would love to see a video on Griddle upkeep!!!!
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.
Have the Traeger I use it at least two times a week ONE of the best purchases. I’ve made in quite a while.
Where is Le Griddle? Which ones can be put in an outdoor kitchen?
Videos always make me want the item. I think I want a griddle, but being a single, retired person? I don't need it. Drat. I can just put my lodge cast iron griddle on my propane grill. sigh.
You said the shelves on the Weber slate were fixed. I thought the shelf on the left side could be folded down.
Now you know why its called the BBQ Lab, this was the most scientific demo anywhere, thank you David and Mellisa. Cheers .
I would love to see the Recteq in there. Thanks for the great video!
