Nice! K...now I want a griddle

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Hey Vanessa! This griddle has been on the want list for a few years! Pat is so happy to finally have it. 😀

[@jmracura1]

Hi there! Is there a way to secure the griddle top to the base better? Looks like you can screw the nuts from the underside.

[@1empyre1life]

The hole in the free scraper is for more efficient scraping. It decreases aerodynamic drag during high speed scrapes while also reducing weight. It probably doesn't have anything to do with hanging.

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Thank you so much! We appreciate you letting us know. Thank you for watching and have a good day.

[@Anonymous5211987]

lol

[@jreyman]

I did assemble one of these, by myself, though a second person would have made it easier (upper griddle assembly). Mine is slightly different on the lower assembly, as I don't have the drawers. Mine is a pair of door at the bottom, but the upper assembly is the same. If this flat-top is exposed to the the weather (not under a covered patio, etc) You will want to use the provided cover to keep wind blown debris out, and water from pooling inside of it, as there is a bit of a gap between the griddle and the lid, at the back. The more you cook on it, and keep it seasoned, the better the surface gets, as long as you don't do something that screws up the surface. (Example, burn the seasoning off, get water pooled inside when not used.) The hole on the scraper is intended for hanging, but mine sits in a drawer. I use a pair of large metal spatulas and a squirt bottle of water, for grill work, including for the surface clearing/cleaning process (the scraper spends most of it's time in a drawer, unused. The water in the squirt bottle, and a dome, or pan lid is great for melting cheese on burgers, etc. Water is also used to de-glaze parts of the surface you want to remove cooked on food remnants from, easily.

After laboring over what griddle to buy for a week I went with the latest version of the members mark 5 burner for $399.99. For how well it’s built and what it comes with I think that’s a great price as compared to other similar offerings. Picked up in my local store today. No dings, dents or missing parts. Went together extremely easily and I’m impressed with the build quality of the the unit for sure, 4 heavy duty caster wheels are a huge plus for moving it since it’s pretty heavy. If I had to come with a negative regarding the build quality my only one would be the use of aluminum hardware. Steel screws are much easier to work with when using magnetic tipped drivers, they are less prone to stripping and just last longer. That’s a small complaint in the end. Tomorrow it gets seasoned and christened With beef.

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Congratulations on a wonderful purchase! We still love ours. I hope the seasoning went well and the beef turned out well. 👍

[@pacmandagreat07]

Thanks for info both of u wanting to upgrade my SS Blackstone and this stands out price and visually

[@AAPHomestead]

Awsome

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Thank you for your support! Have a good day!

[@GINCHANNELcar_moto]

Looks very yummy

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Thank you so much

[@tb12olemiss]

In the famous words of Jen holy moly that’s a lot of food. Nice griddle action

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Holy moly, it was a ton of food. Of course this was a few days of cooking! Although, we had so much we had left overs and made fajita nachos the next day! Plus, with our kids there is never left over French toast or bacon!! 🥓 🍳

[@jacobwagoner6820]

I thought it was hilarious as I just got my griddle built and was watching your video and you scrolled past your Sam adams and I’m drinking the same thing lol

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Lol! That’s perfect! Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoy your griddle as much as our family does. Cheers 🍻

[@kimwilliams7051]

Chicken Mexico food looks yum too

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

The fajitas were really good! Looking forward to trying all kinds of stuff on it!

[@the_truth21]

The hole on the scraper might be to hang it on a hook. Just my though I could definitely be wrong lol. Been looking for the griddle as well. Been debating on the members mark 5 burner pro series grill or this griddle.

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

👋 I think it probably is for hanging it. I thought maybe there was a secret fun reason. Our vote goes for the griddle!

[@the_truth21]

@@TrueNorthDueSouth ended up getting the pro series 5 burner grill. I couldn’t pass it up lol. It was priced at 399

[@johnconnaway8298]

Definitely for a hook. The cheaper MM griddle has hooks and it's the some scrapper with both.

[@thetravelingbuddy6104]

Great grill Guys sorry I have been missing your video's

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

No worries! Hope you have been doing good. I need to catch up on your travels south!

[@strongjohn7078]

How’s the griddle holding up. It’s not warped? Still recommend it? It’s at my Sam’s now. Thanks

[@pancholeal1]

I have had mine for 2 years, it has not warped

[@hectorlongoria9625]

Not many videos on this griddle..your the only one

[@jeffsmith4945]

I’ve had mine close to a year and love it. You have to learn to use it, like I turn it complete off then back on cooking certain items like bacon and eggs for example. Wish the low temp was lower lol, but outside of that one of the best bang for the bucks I’ve ever had.

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Thanks so much for stopping by. I agree you do need to learn how to use it. It does get hot! I usually turn it on and off depending on what I am cooking. With the size and temp...you can certainly can get breakfast cooked fast though. 😉

[@Pablo-ot1op]

Nice review man! Thinking about getting one.

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Do it! We love our griddle!

[@kimwilliams7051]

That grilled cheese toast looks yum xx

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Thank you Kim! They were pretty good!

[@martinspurgeon]

The whole is there to hang it on a hook or a nail

[@justins8768]

What was the marinade for the chicken? Looks good

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Hi there, the chicken marinade was olive oil with salt, pepper, garlic, parsley and chili powder. No specific measurements, just eyeball it to your liking. Thanks for watching!

[@RGW1031]

The hole is to hang it on the handle with the s hooks that come with it.

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Thanks. I figured that it was. Thanks was just hoping that there was a fun, creative use for it! 👍

[@melgueta1]

Thanks for the video. I got the same griddle but the manual is not saying anything about the 2 chains and the 2 small metal tubes at the end. Any idea what are those for? Page 29 of the manual.

[@melgueta1]

Never mind. I found out that these two things are to Light Your Grilled Manually in case that need it.

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

You are correct

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Hope you are enjoying your griddle!

[@CriscosCountrylife]

Nice review! #griddleaction

Any update on the grill? Did it end up getting rusty like the Blackstone?

[@pancholeal1]

I have had mine for 2 years and has not rusted

[@garyfisher3090]

Finally was able to purchase this grill. Was out of stock for a long time, then when it came back in stock, it sold back out .

[@dailynewswithsteve6064]

Looks like they are out again! I want one asap but these seem to be a hot seller.

[@garyfisher3090]

@@dailynewswithsteve6064 I had to check about every week a couple of times for about 6 months or so before they showed back up for only a few days.

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

They are a hot seller! We had to keep trying to get ours as well.

[@meganlaymon9095]

@@dailynewswithsteve6064 we have been looking for 6 months or more. As of right now they are back in stock! We were finally able to grab one

[@hkvanx]

Nice video…can you boil water in pot on griddle? Looking to steam crabs

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Yes, absolutely! Steaming crabs on the griddle would be perfect. Thanks for watching!

[@arturocarrillo1154]

Are you able to convert this to natural gas?

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

I think there might be a conversion kit? Blackstone has one, not sure about this Member's Mark one.

[@hectorlongoria9625]

How does it work is it worth it thanks for video

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

We think that it is certainly worth it! Love ours!

[@sdixon53]

The hole is to hang it on a hook

[@dannorth2232]

Hi, has there been a temp test done to see how hot the griddle can get with the 47500 btu's vs the Blackstone 60000?

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

We have not done that test. This puppy can get pretty hot. Next time we use it I will do a temp test on how hot the Members Mark griddle can get. Have a great day! Thanks for watching!

[@brickrain708]

can you convert it to natural gas?? if so how would i go about doing that for this specific model?

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

I am not sure. I just checked the user manual and it doesn't say anything about it. However, I know that Blackstone makes a conversion kit for some of their griddles and grill. Sorry I can't be more help.

[@brickrain708]

@@TrueNorthDueSouth its no problem at all. i do appreciate you checking that out for me. i went ahead and purchased it anyways even if its not natural gas griddle it will still be a great substitute tell i get my natural gas grill/griddle

[@racer3827]

How is the griddle holding up after almost a year? I'm looking at getting this one as well. Thanks.

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

We love our griddle! It has held up perfectly. No problems or complaints. Hope you get one and enjoy it as well. Have a good day!

[@kylem2131]

does it at all seem underpowered with the 48k btu compared to the average of 60k for the rest of the market?

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Not at all! Honestly, this griddle gets almost too hot if that is even a possibility. We have been so happy with it. Considering all of the other options, I would happily buy this one again over competitors. Thanks for watching.

[@kylem2131]

@@TrueNorthDueSouth perfect. Is the bottom of the griddle flat or with braces like angle iron to prevent warping? It's not a huge deal but if it ever warped I could weld some on

[@kylem2131]

i ended up getting it a few weeks ago. It's lovely. well made griddle surface and cover. Easy to assemble. Seasoned up perfectly with no glaring hot spots. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for the gas to ignite but not a big deal

[@craze1bs]

2 yrs old now…any warping issues?

[@rafaelfernandez6567]

where to find it and buy it, thank you rafael

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Great question. This griddle can be purchased at your local Sam's Club. However, they do sell out frequently. Thanks for watching!

[@kathleensantos6131]

Is it as big as 36 inch griddle Blackstone?

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

HI, it is very similar in size. the actual griddle measures about 20" by 36". Thanks for watching!

How many inches across is the griddle itself?

36 inch

[@kashmoney7421]

Just got one but its at $399 now. Still think its a good buy even at $100 bucks more.

[@erkme73]

And, it doesn't have drawers anymore - just to big doors. I think I would have preferred the drawers...

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

I hope you enjoy your griddle. It’s great to be able to sling out food like your a short order cook. I think it’s a good price especially for the quality you get. Thanks for watching.

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Personally, I like the drawers. It helps keep things more organized. Still, it’s a great price for a griddle.

3yr update

[@robertdepesci3418]

the burn fades into orange... doesn't look so good. how does it look now?

[@1ramonica]

Does it comes with a cover

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

It does not come with a cover. Thank you for watching!

[@JT-sl3ui]

Just got mine! Mine has two doors and no drawers with a cover. It seems the ones with one door and two drawers doesn’t have a cover.

[@kimwilliams7051]

I'll have some eggs and chees toast please guys xx

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

The eggs were great! Just like going to a diner. In fact we now call the griddle "Daddy Diner"

Can this be converted to natural gas?

Yes! We still love our griddle. No problems at all. Have a good day.

[@boulder40]

So the top doesn’t actually mount to the base at all? That seems dangerous to me.

[@christopherkelly2504]

The stainless cover is mounted to the griddle base by a multi-link hinge.

399 now

Thanks for the update!

Yup, my wife just bought me one for $399..Does come with grill cover though

I think they are for matches. To use as a backup lighting device. Thanks for watching enjoy your griddle this summer! 👍 💯

[@bjbrunetti]

Reviews say top warps, just saw 3 in stock

[@TrueNorthDueSouth]

Saw a few of the same reviews. Honestly, this is made pretty well so I don’t know what in the world people are doing to warp the griddle! 😂 after a half dozen meals I can’t complain.
