Anyone here have the new Weber griddle?

[Happy Hapgood]

This guy is doing his 2nd and 3rd cook on one. I'm looking at them depending on cost.

I saw one folded on the shelf at Home Depot, across the isle from the Loco griddle. The Loco is a nice piece of equipment but I didn’t get that close a look at the Weber.

I put a griddle insert from steelmade in my weber gasser. Same result, more economical and no additional footprint. Couldn’t be happier with it.

I'm happy with my 36" Blackstone especially for the price

The reason his burgers became one with the grill is I didn't see an ounce of fat anywhere on the cooking surface. Pry some real lean (90/10).

He's not much of a flat top King in my book.

He ain't that great

He lost me at using nacho cheese soup instead of real shredded cheddar cheese.

I've never owned a griddle but this might be a first. I went to Weber's website and read the reviews. One customer said the instructions state that the griddle needs to be seasoned. This might explain why the burgers stuck in the video. I honestly wouldn't even consider cooking on a griddle without some oil first. Gonna be watching this item.

if its made in china junk like my LE red, I'd just go with something already on the market thats cheaper.

My most recent Weber purchase was a 26” kettle a couple years back. I was surprised and unhappy to see that Weber was now using hollow stamped nuts in the hardware bag instead of regular screws and nuts. Like, out of the $400 I paid for this grill, they couldn’t have put 20 more pennies towards better hardware? Definitely soured me a bit on new Weber stuff.

I've had a blackstone a few years thats been good. If i ever need a new one i would give the weber a look. I do agree I think Weber quality has slipped a little the last few years and would purchase with caution without seeing in person or lots of positive reviews. After using mine unless you have close counters or tables i recommend something with side tables on both sides. Having everything you need to cook in arms reach is key with the griddles.

Weber has lost me as a customer. The huge price increases, outsourcing, thin metals, way overpriced replacement parts and decline in customer service have made me go elsewhere.

I too went with SteelMade.

That would have been reason to return…

The thing looks flimsy to begin with. If I was to pop off and get a bigger griddle, I would seriously look at the LOCO thermostat controlled griddles.

Because of like 6 nuts?

Jack up prices and cheapen the product, gotta draw a line.

 

[SmokinAussie]

I kinda agree with Jeremy.

They gotta know.

"WTF are you selling me" kind a message.

Same here. I'm a fan of Weber but if you're going to increase the prices then the quality and hardware should AT LEAST remain the same.
