Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Griddle on a grill

I bought a Blackstone two years ago and it is an awesome addition to my outdoor cooking equipment. The grill griddles are o.k., but it's just not the same and the temperature control isn't as good as a true flat top. We make breakfast, Philly cheese steaks, rueben's and awesome smash burgers. We haven't had a grilled burger since we got it. I know it's probably not what you want to hear, but I recommend buying both.

Carbon or SS grill surface ?

Is it starting to form a nice patina with some age ?

I like having sides on the "grate" to contain the veggies we do.

Not a bad idea.

Thanks

I have a flat top on my grill when I want to put it on. Flat as a pancake. Great for anything you'd use a Blackstone for.

It is the stainless model, but the cook surface is carbon steel. I've cooked enough burgers and bacon on it that it is very well seasoned.

There are bazillion YouTube vids about Grill Grates, used both as grill and griddle.

For griddle use, you just flip them over and use the flat side. I do that for things like fish and sometimes burgers. Any food that might break up and fall between the raised "fins" of the grate side.

You'll hear some wild claims about Grill Grates - and they're all true. Those things are close to magic. Food does not stick, there are NO flareups, and the grate will run up to 200 degrees hotter than what your hood thermometer says. I've checked mine with an IR sensor and if the hood temp is 400 or so, the Grill Grate will run 550-600. BeeeYOOOtiful sear on steaks.

I'm with mike, but went with a 36" Coleman;





As Jim alluded to, Aussies n Kiwis use a flat top, more than a grate style BBQ/Grill !

Love my smoker & my charcoal grill too.

I've used a Nordic Ware griddle on natural gas grills for years.

When I'm down south I use a Costco griddle on the propane stove or grill.

Both work great

LOL...that grate doesn't look as effective

Lots of good info given, thanks. Since the griddle will see limited use I decided that after we buy our new gas grill we will buy a griddle for it. If we end up not liking it will add a Blackstone to the cooking arsenal.

I bought a griddle (pan thing with three sidewall sides) with the intention of using it on the grill, gas burner, and electric burner. Never worked well, and sits in a box on the shelf in the garage.

I should have bought a dedicated unit from the get go.

Snowwolfe, do look into GrillGrates, however. THE best thing you can do with a new gas grill (or charcoal) is to replace the factory grates with GrillGrates. It makes an even better improvement than replacing a factory rifle trigger.

Dont you have a tee time to make?

Nothing ever good enough for you people.

Dont forget the ghey little special grill grate spatula.
