Echoing the others but this is an impressive display of cooking skill and temperature management. You made it look easy but it's certainly not. Kudos!

Well I appreciate that.....

[@dmbOhio]

I bought one of these Weber inserts back in June for the 3 burner version of the grill. It's phenomenal and rivals anything I've seen on a Blackstone. There are only two of us so we can't justify a separate unit, the storage space/moving it around for the winter, deck space, etc., so this was an attractive option for occasional use. The 3-burner version is only 30 pounds, so, we just pull it off, and store it away when not in use. (Adding the Weber storage bag to our Christmas list, that is, unless Weber wants to send me one to try it for review LOL.) The cold-rolled carbon steel is impressive. It holds it season well. Its temperature control is great. It's exceeded our expectations by miles, and, thusly, it gets used more than I ever planned on using it. My one reservation was, and is, the grease trap, just like you. We noticed that if we don't do a good clean/burn after using the griddle with greasy foods like sausage, the next time we grill something like skin-on chicken, we'll have grease fires galore down in the grease drip tray. I just monitor the drip tray, and the disposable catch pan underneath it, and all seems to be well. With just a little more TLC than a Blackstone when it comes to the grease/liquid, it's just fine. I love it. Kudos to Weber for making something common sensical for our limited use. You've become my goto favorite YT channel since I've made this purchase. Thank you!!! (And thank you for serving our country!)

Have this insert since May, it is fantastic. I’m a novice at griddle cooking but have made dozens of meals, from breakfast to smash burgers, all turned out fine to outstanding. The Weber grill temperature control makes controlling the griddle easy. No flare ups for me. The best thing is I don’t need two outdoor cooking systems…worth it!!

Great review and awesome looking breakfast! This is VERY timely for me as I’m deciding on a first griddle and considering a combo grill/griddle to save space vs a dedicated griddle. I’d love to see you do a combo shootout with this setup, the Camp Chef, and the Grilla Grills Primate where you test both the grill and griddle. Love your channel and just joined the Facebook group too. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! And thank your camera person too! Y’all make a great team!

[@TermiteDave]

Great cook Neil! Next level cooking skills there. We were on the road in our RV for three months and decided to get the Blackstone single burner griddle. I have cooked around 15 meals on it and it's has been fantastic! I was thinking about replacing our Webber grill when we get home with a Blackstone ! Then last night as I was cooking Hot Polish Saucages it dawned on me! Why doesn't Weber have a Griddle insert? So I checked and they have one. This a game changer for me! ! You've saved me a bunch of bucks and space!! Thanks again Neil!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hey thats great...still today I absolutely love the combo....truly...

Dude, you are a pro cook. Griddle is awesome, yes, but your ability to do so many things WELL at once is what blew me away.

[@adrianlouviere7650]

Thank YOU!

[@bklough]

Awesome vid! Yet another reason this channel rocks! All your vids lead to you showcasing something like this if it came out 'cause it makes sense. One big breakfast done with one outdoor tool that folks have done for years on a stove top with an oven. Right now, I'm doing it outdoors with my 4-burner grill and my 2-burner griddle, because it sucked doing it on just a griddle. I don't even bother if it's windy or below 50F out. The grill is a perfect simple baker, cast iron pan heater, general warmer for everything: a hood, gauge, reliable temp control. It rocks doing "reverse-sears" on steak while griddling up sides and such (That's a "Meh" technique, IMHO). I stumbled on that combo part from frustration with my griddle and inspiration from some of your smoker/grill and griddle combinations. Again, thanks and keep rocking!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hey I appreciate that....cheers bud

[@brettmorrical6978]

Fantastic review, Neil! Decision made. I have that exact Weber Grill. $300 more for the griddle insert and I don't have to drop 1K to get Traeger Flatrock quality. Plus, I can use the lid. Will order the griddle accessory tomorrow. Thank you!

[@mefobills279]

Genesis burners are rectangular and taper toward the back. This makes for even heat front to back. Burner ports are stamped with upward facing dimples. This allows better air mixing and hence flame is happy. Dont block the airgaps around griddle to maintain good exhaust.

Awesome video and a great accessory from Weber!! Only slight down sides I could see(small ones) where the slots in the front putting out some real heat. Also when you measured the depth of the stand along griddle that insert was 4” shorter. Where I noticed the slight problem was when you where flipping the hash browns. Didn’t seem like enough room to manipulate the spatula (from to back). Other than that great accessory option for a gasser! Also your user error of grease management is priceless information to the next person when using it, great content leaving it in the editing!!

That Weber grill/ griddle is really nice but I think Weber should redesign that grease trap. That looks like it might be a problem especially for a newbie.

Thanks for this in depth review. I really wanted a griddle to cook breakfast for the wife and son but already have a nice three burner Weber with side burner and no real patio space for a separate griddle. Buying this insert based off your review. Oh btw one thing I was thinking, was with that shelf right below the grease catcher, if you really wanted to it seems like you could just put a bowl or coffee can or whatever on the shelf to catch the grease instead of the official insert. You know if you didn't want to worry about emptying the pan for that cook.

I would love to see you cook a pizza on the halo like you did the biscuits on this griddle. I bet you can do it. Par bake the crust in the oven and then finish on the griddle. You can par-bake a pizza crust and then freeze them for later use. I made the crunch wraps on my Webber 3 burner griddle today. It's become a staple in my house.

Thank you for this channel, Neal! I've started and learned how to griddle because of this channel. Unfortunately I didn't have enough space to buy a dedicated griddle so I got this Weber insert griddle instead (for my old 3 burner genesis model). And I've been using it a lot! My family always excited bout Saturday's breakfasts. This griddle insert is great in general. But 2 major inconveniences: 1st, as you mentioned already, front side is very hot due to multiple hit escape holes, it makes long stirring very unpleasant (you always need to do it fast). Overall, it is manageable. 2nd, not perfect grease management. Hard parts and outburns have tendency to pile up under the griddle in a far right conner and you can easily get a fire torch if it would be big enough to burn. So, time after time you need to remove this insert and clean it up. Hope it would be helpful for people who decide to go for this Weber option. Regards!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Spot on....thank you...I think I might reach back out and just ask about that grease idea..does seem suspicious..not bad...just not great

[@dmbOhio]

I have the three burner version as well and have been scraping the back right and left corners after using the griddle to keep the grease issues down. Had a major problem with grease fires down in the grease drip pan (see my comment here too) but overall, this was TOTALLY worth the money and is perfect for us.

100% agree! If you LOVE to griddle, the insert is too pricey. Just get a new griddle. If you like griddle and grill? Then the insert is fine and livable.

Thanks so much for doing this video. We have a Weber 4 burner grill almost like that one. I don't have a burner on the side or a closed cabinet. Also our drip pan is deeper than that one and in a different place. I guess it will work with that griddle. Weber website states it is good for the Genesis II 400 series from 2016 and newer. I bought ours in the end of the fall of 2018. Thanks for showing the warning about the drip pan needing to be in the exact and proper space to prevent a big ole mess. LOL Those vent holes in the front makes me think the heat coming from it would burn your arms while cooking. I guess they don't, but still...........😳 Now the price of 300.00 and the thought that I might need the 55.00 storage bag throws me into a little sticker shock. But still, that is cheaper than buying a whole new grill to cook breakfast on. And. I was weaned on that white gravy. And we have never made it out of sausage. It has always been made from the bacon drippings. In fact, everything I eat growing up was cooked with bacon grease or flavored with bacon grease. When we cook with the bacon grease, there is no need for any other seasoning, other than salt and pepper. LOL Throwing out the bacon grease was pretty much a sin in our southern culture. And using my momma's cast iron skillet that she used to make cornbread, for anything other than cornbread, would get you the death penalty. Carried out by skinning the offender alive. 🤫🙂 I did not think about biscuits turning out so well on that grill. I so need this for cooking our very large Christmas breakfast when all my kids and their families come. Not sure how that would work cooking outside in the cold.

Well to be honest..i have the bag and haven’t used it...i just keep the griddle in the grill when not using...right on the grill grates..when I need to use it..i just move it away....stays in the grill the whole time...that saves 55...also....just appreciate that comment,...thank you

[@patrickviera6090]

Neal your my go to guy for questions... can you use the same cutting board that raw meat sat on or do you need to wash it off before you put your cooked meat on? Thanks for everything King!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Absolutely wash.....no doubt...

[@jeffadams6305]

Once again looks delicious. Continuing to do research before purchasing. New to channel so not sure if you have done one or not but have you done any cooks on the E Blackstone? If not is this something you would consider to review? Thanks.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I have not...i had the Pit Boss Ultimate...ceramic coated top....just absolutely did not like it....

[@jeffadams6305]

@@TheFlatTopKing ok. Thanks

[@markb.1259]

0:35 to 0:45 min. mark, noticed you changed the orientation of your flattop to have the flattop AWAY from your house siding. How many places have y'all melted siding at around your deck? 🙂 haha

[@TheFlatTopKing]

We have not....weird thing to suggest....this one has a hood...when filming...we have to use a different set up...we always are having to move things around..depending on what griddle etc...sometimes..we get it right for filming and sometimes we adjust...sometimes its based on sunlight and lighting...

[@patcap535]

New to your channel I been wanting a griddle for the longest time. Recently moved down south so I think it’s time to get one. I currently have a 3 burner Weber not if I should get the Weber insert or get a dedicated griddle. What’s your opinion?

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Well that up to you....Money...space...etc...does the insert equal a stand alone...no...but their are tradeoffs...not sure your situation....The insert is more of a compromise based on factors....If these do not apply...I would recommend a stand alone...

[@vidman9691]

Dang!!! When you gonna invite me for breakfast? As usual a great video.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

TY

[@paulsanders1373]

🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤👀at all the yummy food you just grilled up! I want to be your official taster Please!! Nicely done mate!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

hahahaha absolutely....thats a long drive and swim..ahhahha

[@scotchbarrel3371]

I have the same setup. Biggest complaint is I wish the side burner could go lower.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Yes.....its a hot one...

[@cedaroakfarm8596]

The cook is great as usual, the grease trap issue on the unit is a problem. Anytime you allow a small error to potentially cause a grease fire is a design flaw that they need to address. Yes, it needs a much larger grease cup. The open flame could have been a huge disaster, also where is your fire extinguisher just in case? The breakfast, gotta love it. The marmalade to the French toast, great idea.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

We have it in our rolling cart..ahahahah always around for sure

[@900stx7]

There is a shelf under the aluminum drip pan. I've found if you just remove the pan and put a large baking tray on the shelf, it eliminates lots of your grease problems.

[@WaylandsWorld]

It seems the Griddle insert is about 4" shallower than the Traeger: 18x33" for the Traeger, 14x32.5" for the Weber. The Traeger also has the grease trap taking up space in the front. Is there a noticeable difference in what one can cook over the other? (Trying to decide between the two: the Weber Slate won't fit nicely on the patio with my other grills... but the Traeger would with the fold--down tables... so it comes down to a Traeger, or the Genesis with insert (to replace my old genesis))

[@user-hd9hs6kx8v]

I noticed a tall narrow door on the (facing it) left side. Can the griddle be stored in there vertically when using the grates? Thanks.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

It can not...in the review video..we showed it...however right now the grates are in there

[@mschmidt3108]

Does the griddle fit in the storage area you said could be for sheet pans? The black door on the left side of the grill cabinet.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I dont think so....it can fit the grill grates..but not the griddle..I just store it in the grill itself...if I use the gril...just take the griddle off and place back on when done...

[@Damethefirst]

The griddle worked flawlessly….amazing how even the heat was. But you have many more burners in a grill,,,,griddle makers take note

[@curtdunlap6818]

Wow, nice job. It looks like you had total control over the heat zones with this setup. Now that's what I'm talkin' about! You just need a little engineering change on the grease tray so it goes all of the way back to the rear of the grill, and that would fix that little mishap. A bigger grease bin would be nice too! So considering the grease tray, can this griddle insert only be used with the Weber grill? Oh, and by the way Amy, that bacon was done when Neal turned it the first time. Hey, Neal told me to say that from my last comment! 😊 I don't like crunchy bacon, if ya didn't guess. I think somebody else said this too, but, "Nailed it!"

[@TheFlatTopKing]

hahahaha dont get me in trouble..ahhaaha

[@jknaus23]

LMAO, I thought that bug flying in front of your window at the end was on my screen and went to swat it away...

[@TheFlatTopKing]

hahhahahah LMAO......

[@RussellBohannon]

How are you keeping the things warm that came off the griddle early in the cook?

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Well at first we used the top rack....then it all happens pretty fast...the hashbrowns cooked...then the french toast the same time...once pulled it was all about eggs...the gravy was on a side burner....I can say I have mentioned in the past several times....use your oven as a warmer....turn on lowest bake setting...and use that to keep things warm..
