Just got it today, seasoned it 5x's and made some bacon. Easily rivals my smaller Blackstone. Cast Iron is thicker as well. Light oil, let it heat for 30 min, repeat, I don't think you can over season, but 5 x's produced a nice slick black top.
Took the leap to go from grill to griddle and I've thoroughly enjoyed it so far. Steak fajitas - easy and delicious. Teriyaki chicken w/ griddled pineapples, yum. Smash burgers are up next and its going to be fun to figure that out on a griddle. All the juices stay exactly where they should be instead of dripping through a grate. Highly recommend taking the journey.
This has been awesome! We have the half size but couldn’t get a lot done. With the full size we can do so much more. Make sure to buy the tools that go along with it. Plus it is nice to still have flexibility of the grill!
The full-size griddle is a wonderful upgrade. In fact, we installed it right away, and have cooked everything on it. Steaks are wonderfully & evenly charred. Breakfast is incredible, and very fast when you can cook 10 pancakes at a time.
We even stacked the standard grill grate over top the griddle, and baked pizza in the weber. It worked great!
The only caution - It gets VERY hot! I'd recommended only preheating the grill using only about 50% of the gas flow. (We have the natural gas model) Using 50% gas flow, the grill heats to about 450°F. Much hotter, and even Avocado oil will flame up!
10/10 recommended the full size griddle top. It's extremely versatile, and makes cooking fast, easy, and delicious.
I really wanted to give griddle cooking a try and I'm glad I did, added so much fun to my grill. I knew If I bought a standalone griddle and it wasn't high quality not only would it not last but probably have poor performance as well. I am so I went this route especially be able to use my Genesis 300 that I already had. Thank you, Weber, for all your products and high quality!
This is a nice way to get griddle cooking without having to add a whole new grill. Apart from cleaning my Genesis 300 series grill, the conversion was easy. I can also switch back and forth between my griddle and my original grates. Very satisfied with this solution.
THIS IS A GREAT GRIDDLE. MAKE SURE THAT YOUR GRILL IS LEVEL IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. HASH BROWNS ARE A SNAP, AND SMASH BURGERS ARE EASY AND AS GOOD AS EATING OUT! EASY TO CLEAN AND TAKE CARE OF. PRICEY BUT WORTH IT!
