I have had this griddle for almost a year. All around I’d say it performs well, however the top flexes on it every time I use it making it very hard to use. I have had quite a few different griddles and never had this issue. All in all I’d say it’s pretty disappointing, and I would not recommend.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear the griddle top is warping every time you use it. Our Care Team will reach out to check on this for you. Please look for an outreach email from us soon. Thank you!
I received this griddle in February 2026 and prepared a number of different meals. What I like most about my 30" griddle is the enlarged surface area for cooking.
Really enjoy cooking with all my Weber grills such as the 22 in 26 in and my WSM. But the 30 in Weber Slate griddle is becoming my favorite so quick and easy whether making breakfast or lunch. Still going to show my other Weber grills lots of love, but this griddle is in my opinion a must have.
Quality of the materials that you use to assemble to griddle is horrible. Makes me wonder how horrible the components must be.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Your feedback means a lot to us and we are very sorry to hear about the damaged parts that arrived with your new Slate 30'' Rust Resistant Griddle. We will be sure to make this right. Please look for an outreach from us soon. Thank you!
The cook top is amazing, a little heat to prepare it and burn off anything from the factory and that was all the preparation needed to get cooking (after assembly of course, which only took maybe 30 minutes). Once ready the options for meals exploded, marinate/season pretty much any cut of meat you want, cube or slice it for perfectly seared pieces of meat. Throw a little butter/oil on and all the veggies you have in stock. There's dozens of meals right there. Add some rice and sauce and make any protien/veggie combo into a stir fry. Smash your burgers, Toast your breads. I went with the 30" top and it has plenty of room for me to place heat resistant dishes on the off/low portions of the cook top, place the food I want to keep warm in them and then easily transfer them to the table when ready. Warm weather is going to see this in use 3 to 4 days a week regularly.
I chose the Weber Slate after weeks of research into outdoor griddles. When I made the purchase, I believed the Slate was where the curves cross on a cost/quality chart. When my Slate finally arrived, I was not disappointed. It was packed better than anything I have ever received. Assembly took some time, but the design is well thought-out and very, very sturdy. The final result not only looks great, it performs great as well. I am very pleased with the evenness of heating across the griddle surface and the cooking results I have gotten. Low-temperature control is especially impressive, as I was able to make the most perfect, golden-brown pancakes I’ve ever made on my first attempt on the Slate. I highly recommend this griddle!
