Haven't tried it.

Trying to set up warranty and it insists I leave a review. I am just seasoning it now. Sorry but I can say good or bad about it right now.

Easy assembly seems decent

I haven't used the grille yet but assembly and overall quality seem pretty decent for the price point. The griddle itself is a solid one piece heavy weight cast iron assembly. Wheels seem appropriate for the weight of the unit. Time will tell. It comes with a decent lid but I recommend getting a cover for proper protection from the elements. Also, I did get a silicone grill cover that fits perfectly over the griddle area protecting it and keeping it sanitary when not in use.

Good griddle

I received this as an early Father's Day gift from my perfect wife and wonderful son. We had talked about purchasing a griddle for a long time, but I hadn't done my research yet to find the one I really wanted. Overall I'm very happy with it, but the build quality of the frame is lacking compared to the higher end Weber and Traeger versions. The lack of wind guards and uneven heating is a disappointment, but I should be able to overcome that with the surplus of cooking area that I'm unlikely to ever fill up completely.

Question:
How difficult is it to keep the carbon steel surface free from rust, pitting, discoloration? The latter is not really an issue, I currently own an ancient Viking gas griddle/oven range and have learned to deal with it. Thank you.Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Hi, thanks for writing in. Rusting is pretty easy to stay on top of if you keep up with seasoning the griddle surface and keep it covered between uses. If the surface rusts severely it can always be brought back in line with a griddle stone/scraper and reseasoning.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.

This item leaves our warehouse within 24 Hours

$49 Flat-Rate Shipping

Anything under $49 ships at one low price. If your order increases, your shipping stays the same!

30-Day Returns

Return all new, unused, and unassembled items in their original packaging, and we'll give you a full refund minus the cost of the original AND return shipping.

No Restocking Fee

Most companies charge a restocking fee. We just don't do business that way.
