Bought this griddle as an alternative to my Weber grill that just disintegrated. It looks great, but even after seasoning everything sticks to this griddle. Regret disposing of the Weber, at least food did not stick. Trying to determine how to repurpose this griddle and definitely would avod this item.

the images are too dark. There was no parts list to ensure the box was complete. The first step lost me until i figured out the parts are now different. one step was impossible. they want 3 screws somewhere in the middle. Just ended up skipping it. the manual was missing from my kit. it took me 3 hours for assembly, at least half of that time was spent trying to figure out what to do. other than that, i found this 3D tutorial helpful. It just needs some improvement.

I bought this at the beginning of last summer. I have seasoned the top as instructed, and now more than 10 times to keep it working correctly. The cooking surface is now extremely pitted. When I clean it off I feel that part of the cooking surface is slowly coming off. What now?? The griddle itself works well.

We purchased this griddle to replace an aging Camp Chef flat top that we've had for the better part of 7 years. The included hinged top was a good selling point. Upon arrival the griddle went together well and appears to be solidly built. The problem is...the griddle top itself. The top is porous and not smooth. I figured if I seasoned it thoroughly it would get better, but it did not. After 5, yes 5 coats of seasoning and the surface turning that nice black color, the surface of the griddle was still pitted and porous. The first cook was a disaster with food sticking and residue remaining in the pits of the griddle surface. I plan on cleaning and then re-seasoning a couple more times, but I'm not optimistic. Quality of the griddle top could be much better.

Not used, yet assembly instructions are amazing overall. The look of the grill is awesome cant wait to use it. Wanted one for a very long time. Makes a great addition to smoker and charcole grill out back, ready for a massive cookout. fyi very heavy!!

Glad i found this griddle. I looked at many different griddles and this was by far my favorite. The hood and covers look great, not cheesy black like BStone. It has leveling screws on the griddle, no need for leveling feet. The drip try is awesome and in the front, not the back. I seasoned it and never looked back, great food and the cooking surface temp is consistent. I bought one of the laser temp sensors. Did I mention it comes with a good cover? Assembly wasn't bad, I was able to assemble myself. Get it on sale $299!

I've been using this griddle for a few months now. Wanted to wait until I'd had it for a bit before leaving a review. I love this thing. I've cooked multiple breakfasts, lunches, and dinners on it and always been happy with the outcome. As with anything of this sort you're going to have hotter spots and you just need to learn those. You also need to learn the right temps at which to cook various dishes. I am not always successful, but that's on my, not the griddle. I did have it warp once early on, but did a bit of research and it said this happens sometimes with other brands, too, and it will flatten back out, which it did. Since that one time it's never happened...again, likely my fault learning how to use it. I love the extra storage and the lid. My brother-in-law has the big name brand and he had to pay a lot more to get a cover and he doesn't have any of the storage. I also love the side tables, though I removed the knobs for hanging things as I just use the magnets to hold my tools. It's actually better to use metal instruments on these types of surfaces (cast iron and carbon steel, too).

I cooked on a commercial griddle many years ago. The surface was kept clean & unseasoned. Never had an issue. I cook primarily with cast iron now, so seasoning this griddle was not an issue. During assembly, one front caster would accept the locking pin due to a manufacturing defect. Simple fix. I used an adjustable jaw plier. Additionally, the lower front door mounting pins were not tightened in the assembly instructions. I used a small adjustable wrench to tighten them appropriately. The rest of the installation was smooth and uneventful until installing the propane tank. The regulator hose is a tad short. It was necessary to turn the tank valve toward the hose connection to prevent kinking the rubber hose. The leveling bolts on the griddle, in my opinion, are too short. I was not able to level the griddle using the leveling nuts until I shimmed the cabinet casters. This was partially due to my deck not being level. I used a short level to level the griddle Cooking. My first cook after seasoning the griddle was bacon. The bacon fat migrated to the edges of the griddle, indicating that the griiddle surface may not be completely flat. I'll be checking flatness soon. I was expecting the entire cabinet to be Stainless Steel. As it turns out, only a few parts are. The rest of the cabinet is powder coated. There was only one small area in the powder coating that might rust, so I'll be applying a bit of touchup paint. That blemish is on the inside of the upper door mount brace and not visible from the exterior. The design of the griddle top could, in my opinion, use some re-engineering. As it is, it allows the heat source to come up around all the sides, front, right, left, & of course, the back. This could be remedied with lower heat shields on the griddle. As it is, the heat from the burners rolls up in your face and will heat up any items you place on the side tables. Beware what you place there. The lid is a nice large stainless steel piece that opens easily. IIRC, the manual alludes to cleaning the inside of the lid, which seems to suggest that you can cook on the griddle with the lid closed. I can't think of any reason to have a griddle on with the lid closed, but there isn't a warning not to do so. I'm looking forward to cooking more items outdoors on this griddle and will be combining outdoor cooking methods, such as smoking meats before finishing on the griddle.

Great grill was going to buy Camp Chef until I found this, much nicer.

It’s been 2 years still great shape but need to find replacement cover
