extraordinarily video mate!... great detail, you cover all!

[@SidebandSamurai]

Brilliant video. Thank you for all your hard work

[@jayboogie27]

Super helpful! Well produced. Thanks for sharing!

[@tammieramsey1021]

Thank you so much for doing this video. I'm new to this and this was extremely helpful

[@waynec3121]

David and the rest of your crew I appreciate your testing .Some of these brands I was unaware of , was Impressed with Grilla Primate being a flattop and gas grill.

[@robertspeakman8107]

Absolutely, you have done all the great testing and answered. All my questions on your video. You've done an excellent job on the video and you have a great voice. This answered every question I had before I buy a new riddle. Slice girl thanks so much

[@colbypenman9811]

Love it, very thorough and helpful for me to make a decision. Thank you

[@Wasur1959]

Very helpful thank you , It answered the questions I had about the Loco that I needed before purchase. It earned you a sub!

[@SmokedReb]

These have really taken outdoor cooking by storm. I have yet to get one so this was the perfect video to watch. Thanks!!

[@kevinsmith5318]

This is a thorough, well done video. Much appreciated!

[@kenstrickland5465]

Thanks for the hard work and honest opinion.

[@Dyshof]

Fantastic information! By a real person and not a robot voice! Thank you so much!

[@ksulivings]

Great recap- nice work -have the Weber and love it. Low temp control , can get high temps for smash, and easy clean up

[@GrillMarkCo]

Y’all bring amazing tests to these videos. Absolutely love your content.

[@TheBarbecueLab]

Thanks! We even had a couple of tests that hit the cutting room floor, because at some point 30+ minutes in a single video on griddles is probably enough.

[@rekondaddy8109]

Thank you for doing this. You are answering all of my questions.

[@markwilkins9048]

This was the review I have been searching for. Thank you so much.

[@mikeneill6400]

Great content as always! Is there a similar showdown for gas’s grills?

[@randyng-a-fook1695]

This video was awesome. Keep up the greatness.

[@cat5dookie1]

What a great review! Well thought out and experience tested over 1 year. I was amazed to see the fajitas on each one.

[@grcerosa]

Great job as always, and I love that white griddle with digital knobs😊

[@AndrewSledge]

Yall do such great work. Another fantastic review.

[@TheBarbecueLab]

Thanks for the kind words Andrew. All the best!

[@waltwins]

This was an incredible video fam, very informative and well stated! We love all things griddle cooking for sure, and appreciate the honesty! Smashed the like button! GRIDDLE ON FAM!🔥🔥 (Also, the Ultimate has a 4 burner that is also portable, I’m sure you knew, just wanted to point it out!😂🤙).

[@dennisl.7613]

I bought the full size griddle insert for my 4 burner Weber Genesis and it’s great. 😊

[@randytellez2451]

Excellent video. I hadn't done any research on anything and assumed a Blackstone was sort of a cult fav to everyone and was considering only that brand. This vid has made me give a closer look at options now. Thank you

[@eonstot]

This was excellent. Thank you! Had already been strongly considering a Primate. Had heard some complaints about it running too hot- did you find that to be true at all?

[@mikeechan4411]

Great review! Thank you for taking the time to do this, very helpful!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

After extensive knowledge with most of these as well...I completely agree.....really nice work...

[@SOU3120]

Great video and amazing job doing all the work to get this done! I've had a 36 inch Blackstone (plain Jane model) for a few years and absolutely love it but have seen several KZbin griddlers out here getting sponsored to prop up the Pit Boss Ultimate. I admit it intrigued me but the more research I've done on it the more its confirmed my worries about the longevity of the ceramic coating. Not that anyone asked, but the thing that kills me about the Traeger (aside from the price) is the handle cut outs on the side. I saw you use Meat Church seasonings, as do I, and I've watched Matt on his channel cook on the Flatrock and rake food through the handle cut outs time and time again. The Weber really surprised me in this shootout, as did the Camp Chef. Again great job and thank you so much for all the work you put into this! This is the first video I've watched of yours and I'm now a subscriber!

[@christopherearls921]

heck of a review!! thank you!!

[@chrism8812]

awesome review. thank you for doing it. I agree- Traeger or weber will be my choice.

[@rocketman4822]

Freaking fantastic video! Answered all my questions!

[@brandonbert9972]

Great video! No BS, in depth, and good videography. Keep up the excellent reviews

[@TheBarbecueLab]

Thanks BrandonBert!

[@ants8632]

This is my favorite youtube channel for reviews. Thank you

[@TheBarbecueLab]

So very kind of you. We thank you for watching!

[@keiths8800]

Awesome review. I have been a Blackstone user for 4 years and absolutely love it. I recommend a griddle everybody due to the variety of things that you can cook. I do have a 26” charcoal Weber for the times when I want to smoke meat. During those 4 years, my Weber gas grill simply rotted away. Buy what you can afford with the features you want. Nicely done.

[@camdives]

Very well done review, it's much appreciated as I am looking to upgrade from a two burner table top griddle to one that is worthy of a full time position on the deck. The Traeger and Gorilla Grills are the most interesting ones for me and it is great to see your results.

[@fresh80able]

Great video! Thanks for that and you deserve my subscription. What would have been nice is a temperature comparison on the side shelves. On some takes of your video I had a feeling that there is some imminent plastic melting

[@JohnDoe-df2zz]

Nice comparison video. I own two models of Blackstone and have enjoyed both of them. That Grilla Grill is very attractive and if I had to do it all again I'd have to take a closer look at that. I tend to use my indoor flat top most mornings just because I don't have to travel outside to cook breakfast but it has a feature similar to the PitBoss with a coated griddle top. Ive found that no matter what the surface coating is, it is eventually going to fail so I'd rule that feature out from the start and stick with the plain steel of most of the other versions.

[@mattyounis5636]

Great video really enjoyed it

[@jbird8112101]

Really great review. This is the only video you need to watch. It’s really goes into detail about everything. Great job.

[@FeelingLOL]

got a flat rock 2 months ago and i love it.

[@danielwilliamson1577]

I love the look of the Grilla Grills, it looks extremely high end but the griddle looks so small. They need a version 2 where they better utilize the space in the grill to have a larger griddle cooking surface.

[@donbender1930]

Fantastic informative video. Got question. I now use Grill Grates and love the grilling marks. Can I use them on a flat top when cooking STEAKS.

[@jcsftwre]

You two helped me to decide what one I'll be buying!

[@TheBarbecueLab]

Yay! Which way did you decide to go?

[@melaniemack8531]

This is such a great vid!! I love how you point out every detail that some of us wouldn't even think about at the time of shopping. Great work. thank you

[@TheBarbecueLab]

Thanks for watching, and best wishes on your purchase!

[@michaeldelrossi4487]

Great Video, we just bought the Weber 28" Flat Top Grill and we will put it to the Test this weekend hopefully, if it doesn't rain!

[@grcerosa]

Yes, impressive on the attention to detail testing of the eight griddle’s 👏👏👏👏

[@JT-nr9je]

Excellent format & presentation. The bread test was spot on and opened my eyes as I was a bit skeptical about the “strip” style burner designs. I’ll continue to use my griddle/Weber grill combo as I continue to contemplate a flat top purchase😊

[@jedwards4256]

This was an impressive review of the grills and provided me a lot to think about before purchasing one

[@leolife02]

Awesome review. Thanks for putting it together

[@TheBarbecueLab]

Thanks for watching!

[@mattcaplis3045]

Just picked up the Traeger flatrock and assembled it. Can't wait to use it. Nice comparison video btw!

[@pakviroti3616]

I really appreciate this griddle comparison. I currently own (for around 5 years) a Blackstone 36" griddle with the rear grease trap and the surround shelf accessory. While I have been very happy with it, it is time to pass it on and downsize my griddle. I would like to say, that while griddles are a great tool to have and many things can be prepared on them, they are not an acceptable replacement/substitute for a grill. Gas or charcoal. There are some things that just require a grill.

[@simpleman08s]

Long but absolutely the best comparison video ever , thank you

[@shawneeb54]

Great review, I've seen many this is awesome. Thank you

[@TheBarbecueLab]

Thanks for watching! I’m glad to hear you liked it.

[@stephengillum3269]

Hi mate. Love the video. Im currently stuck between a couple griddles. One is beefmaster with a 4mm thick solid steel plate, the other is char griller flat iron Premium with a cast iron plate. What would you recommend out of those two ?

[@dbbaker8]

You answered all my questions. I use a Blackstone portable model 2 burner very happy for my uses. I do plan to get a stay at home model and still like the out come with Blackstone. Your test was very through with lots of insight.

[@TheBarbecueLab]

Thanks for watching!

[@Jpott69]

I love my Traeger flatrock coming from a Pitboss

[@brettmiller8868]

I have owned a black stone and a Traeger and hands down I love the Traeger. I did a lot of research on them prior to pulling the trigger on Traeger and I cannot say enough good about it.

[@krisa8649]

I like the ones that have the tank under the griddle vs shelf.

[@tillgrob2035]

The HALO is convertible to NG with a conversion kit. Also, you can cook with the lid closed which is a huge advantage.

[@randyshaffer7257]

Great video been looking into the primate due to the fit for outdoor kitchens

[@RH-zt9ph]

We agree on the Grilla Primate, I have both size griddles and most often use the 3/4 size griddle and 1 grill at the same time which allows a great variety of options to cook multiple items in different ways together.

[@Dust4Vomit]

When going full griddle, do you find the surface area to be limiting for larger meals (for 12+ people)? I like the versatility, but want to make sure I can cook for a big group.

[@yvonnesavage8554]

Well, you hit the mark on your reviews. It was great to get the pro's and cons' of all the different manufacturers. Now to choose!

[@brianmiranda5915]

Greatest Review of grills I've seen.I have the Grilla Grills Primate with the 2/3 griddle as well. This grill has two shelves underneath for items you need while cooking. Also, has a towel and paper towel rack along with 4 tool hangers. I would have liked to see you choose the 36 inch regular Blackstone to compare instead. I choose the Primate as it is 3 Grills in one.

[@adrianlouviere7650]

Very nice review. Thank you.

[@VitalYFZ]

Great video, very informative! I hadn't even heard of some of these so it was good to get eyes and a review of them.

[@TheBarbecueLab]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

[@srthiago01]

Really good content, thanks.

[@jameslester6785]

Awesome review! I use the Pit Boss 5 burner ultimate griddle. I have well over 300 cooks. I would add don't buy the Pit Boss for the ceramic coating because it will eventually wear off as mine did. On the plus side, Pit Boss is very good with their warranty. They are sending me a new top but they seem to have supply chain issues as it has taken over 3 months for them to finally send the new one.

[@jessecolvin66]

I have the Traeger Flat Rock, and I personally suggest using a separate propane gauge. The concept of the lights showing you the levels is awesome and I really enjoyed it, until I didn't... The lights were showing me just under half a tank used when I started up some french toast, just to have the burners turn off minutes in, leaving me to scramble my way into the kitchen to finish the cook. A second thing about the light I noticed is that it is EXCEPTIONALLY BRIGHT! It is awkwardly blinding from the corner of the eye. But other then the light I fully agree with your choice of the Traeger being overall. Great video!

[@toddharper-ok]

Thanks for all the effort y’all put into the videos. They really are a cut above. I have the pit boss 4 burner ultimate and just had to have the top replaced due to rust under 2 years. Even with diligent cleaning. Overall I’m quite disappointed with the griddle, but I’m happy with Pit Boss customer service. It was one call and done. Now days that kind of service is hard to come by.

[@justorganizemylife]

I was wondering about the Customer support with these griddles. I can tell you from experience, Blackstone stands by their products. Can't speak for the others. Glad to hear Pit Boss is good too!

[@madweazl]

I just got rid of our 36" Blackstone with air fryers (used those twice in 2 years) in favor of the Weber 36". I don't ever fold the shelves down so that wasnt a concern. Of note, the Weber gets way hotter (if the black stone was on high for something like smashburgers, the Weber is on medium). The side trays and lid stay much cooler on the Weber which was a nice surprise. Happy so far.

[@rickp2176]

Can you guys review the Chargriller Flat Iron 4 burner 36" Griddle(model #8036) thank you👍

[@koriburgess1239]

I really appreciate your review! I am a 36" blackstone griddle woman and you nailed it at 30:00-30:30. That's exactly what I desired in my outdoor cooking experience. Thanks for your reviews. I'm so INCREDIBLY HAPPY with my Blackstone 36" but I can see how each person gets exactly what they desire in their griddle.

[@TheBarbecueLab]

So glad to hear that you found the right cooker for you Kori! Thanks for watching, and keep cooking!

[@petexian]

Surprising results, I’m really glad you did the wind test. Wind has always been a big challenge, even with a griddle.

[@TheBarbecueLab]

I’m with you there Pete. Wind has been a big challenge for us, and Melissa gets credit for devising that test.

[@alexhafko5667]

I have a 17 inch blackstone tabletop griddle and that thing literally wont cook with any sort of breeze. With the huge gap between the plate and burner, the wind kills a lot of heat transfer. So having a wind test with sustained wind was a fantastic idea.

[@MrCinnamonboy]

​@@alexhafko5667 I believe they sell wind guards

[@mikec7445]

Great job on reviewing. I have a BS and keep it outside year round. It’s become a big pile of rust. Looking to buy all stainless with a stainless steel top

[@gosman949]

One area that you didn't look at: some of the lids can be closed while griddling and some you cannot. The ones that can, like the Halo would be an advantage. Also, some of the griddles cannot maintain low temperatures for the things like eggs which need about 300 degrees.

[@bjaminf113]

Yes!! This! ^^^^^^^^

[@Luketa1978]

the only one I know for sure is the Halo. i dont know about the others

[@gosman949]

@@Luketa1978 yep, having a functional lid adds to the functionality of a griddle.

[@albundy3929]

I believe our boss ultimate allows for 10-15 minutes of closed lid.

[@royceaguilar3506]

No closed lid on the Treager, but it doesn’t need the lid closed. It cooks eggs, steaks etc quick and the temp control is great.

[@browncoaster]

Can you review after market griddles that can be placed on top of a gas grill? I have a spare gas grill and would like to get a griddle top for it. Also need to compliment you on the quality of your content and your video production. The quality of each continues to increase with each new video of yours that I see.

[@markramsey8717]

Wouldn't mind knowing just how hot the side shelves and bottom shelf get after 15 to 30 minutes of use. I have heard of things melting on some griddles.

[@eugenepanek3098]

I have the camp chef FTG600 I built a cabinet with concrete countertops 😊

[@tvm2209]

Great video boss! Quick note- for some reason all the time stamps in the video disappeared.

[@DocRickJr]

Would love to see a review of the Char Griller Flat Iron Premium griddle and the Member's Mark 4 burner griddle! Thanks for the great review!!

[@michaelbitter7682]

Loved the approach you took to this detailed comparison video. The pacing was spot on and I didn't feel like you rushed over anything as well as linger too long on other things. Glad Traeger was your overall choice as this is the one I am leaning towards... has features but most importantly has an even cooking temp across the surface.

[@bartpowers9972]

Pretty hard to beat simple Weber every time😊

[@Tieknee]

1 great video. I normally can't get past 6 - 8 minutes in one. I know the Recteq Smokestone wasn't out when you did this comparison, but I'd love to see your take on it. Great job!

[@texdentist]

Great review. Very comprehensive with the most needed information. One thing I find as a relative newcomer to griddling is that most reviews pay a lot of attention to "Evenness" of the cook surface. I understand that under a few circumstances, that might be practical, I find that I rarely cook where I want the same temperature over the whole griddle. I suppose if I was cooking 20 smashburgers, that would be a good thing. But usually, I want hotter and cooler spots for cooking different foods and to park food and keep it warm. I think with experience anyone could learn their particular cook surface and use uneven heating to their advantage. I have a Blackstone and it is indeed hotter in the middle. But I am happy to have the cooler edges to park things, toast bread, cook eggs, etc. Great review!

[@micahroberts3564]

With all due respect. That makes no sense. You want a completely even cooking surface. Then you can turn some burners up, and others down. Hot spots are ALWAYS a negative that we learn to deal with

Great review!

[@clevelandfrancois7070]

Lots of good honest info. Will have a better idea of what's in the market and how they perform.

[@TheBBQKEEPER]

Thank you again for your videos. Do you have any infortion or video coming soon regarding the new Weber Slate that is coming out soon. I have watched a few videos talking about not rusting and do not need to season. I have not yet purchased a griddle yet, waiting to see what is coming up next. Appreciate any information or advice you can share. Thanks!

[@KCswede]

I use a 24x17 cast iron griddle on my gas grill. Way cheaper than another appliance and works great.

[@adamthompson8432]

Dude this video was epic!

[@TheBarbecueLab]

Thanks Adam! All the best

[@20111111jorg]

Great review! I changed from a grill to griddle about 5 years ago and never looked back. Mine is a Blackstone and I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned Though I'm not sure I'd buy one again if it wore out.

[@ederler1129]

I think it’s really important to see which griddle maintains low temperatures without getting too hot or having to turn the burner off. How accurate are the temperature knobs on that Loco griddle? Thanks for the great reviews!

[@Bigheadedwon]

I love the idea of the temp knobs. But the results from the bread test were about the worst. So I’d say it seems like more of a gimmick than anything at this point.

[@fjfoley]

Thank you. Great information.

[@TheBarbecueLab]

Thanks for watching Francis!

[@justorganizemylife]

Thanks for the comprehensive comparison. I'm curious about why you chose the Blackstone with the air fryers in this comparison instead of a more comparable model to the others. We own an Adventure Ready Blackstone with a huge air fryer. Its been a game changer for us, and now we would like to purchase one for everday use at home. This info was very helpful and gave us food for thought. Thanks!

[@johnblackwell4541]

Best review I've seen so far.

[@TheBarbecueLab]

Thanks for watching!

[@ADavis-ik4qr]

My Camp Chef flattop griddle also has grill grates, so it can serve as a bbq grill by simply removing the flattop.

[@ChaserTiponi]

Now that was in depth man. I bought a 297 dollar Blackstone at WalMart and having a blast on it. Had it about a month. Cooking breakfast for half dozen people means meat is on with pancakes or bread or potatoes then when all that is done and plated clear the grease and cook the eggs in just a couple minutes. Its hard to imagine a griddle so perfect you could do all that at once! For 3 adults and my 4 Grandkids. Need a bit of food for that Brady Bunch😜

[@amalfi460]

I chose the Traeger and love it

[@davidvoth7218]

Great video! We don't have a lot of space on our patio. So have to make the decision if we would rather keep our Traeger smoker, or get a Weber griddle. Since we bought our Weber Grill a year ago we have only used our smoker once, so leaning toward selling it and buying a griddle.

[@user-rt3mn2bd5e]

Great comparisons with good details. Any thoughts about the char-griller? Curious to see how the "budget" flat top would stand in the mix.

[@jasonbecker4997]

I have seen several of these videos and never see the Chargriller included. They must not send them out for free. 😁 I actually bought the chargriller anyway. I really like it, use it all the time, and don’t have any complaints. Of course it’s also my first griddle so I don’t really know what I’m talking about, but using it always makes me smile.

[@Rickbee]

just picked up the Traeger unit and i also had a weird setup with the propane sensor but then i ran it then put the tank on the hook and it's working now. I also feel like the enamel issue with the pitboss is from you using metal utensils that's what made me not want it.
