Because it has a griddle element, this folding flat-top grill and griddle are versatile and useful for making outdoor breakfasts. This allows you to use the rig capacity to make whole meals on a single griddle while simultaneously cooking various dishes at various temperatures. You don’t need to worry about the Blackstone grill being underpowered because its four gas burners each produce 15,000 BTUs, for a total of 60,000.
A fuel gauge (that measures the weight of the tank) keeps you current on when it’s time to swap propane tanks. The temperature can be set and maintained without needing to tend to the fire. The pellets come in various flavors to add an aroma to your food.
The greater distance from the grill burners to the bottom of the Steelmade Flat Top also creates much more even heating for more consistent cooking and better tasting food. The thermal images below highlight the clear difference that makes the Steelmade Flat Top the superior performer. Also, check out what else the griddle has to offer in terms of storage space or shelves; these add value for money to any individual griddle and can make your cooking tasks a lot easier.
The four burners put out around 15,000 BTUs of heat, which equals a total of 60,000 BTUs for the entire cooktop. The control knobs are easy to adjust, and the surface Expert Grill Combo Grills maintains its temperature for restaurant-worthy sears. Fueled by propane gas, this grill requires a 20-pound propane tank you hook up under the left side shelf.
The Flatrock also has a recessed griddle, while others like the Camp Chef or the one from Weber, have elevated griddles. But an elevated griddle exposes the burners to the elements and makes it easier for the wind to blow them out if it’s gusty. And while you can’t look to see if the burners are lit, there are light-up indicators on the front of the grill to tell you whether the flame is on. As for carbon steel, it is a lightweight, budget-friendly option if you’re searching for a flat-top gas grill material that won’t break the bank.

The ceramic sear burner and side burner ensure restaurant-quality cooking, plus you can see what you’re grilling – without losing heat – through the appliance-grade viewing window.
I put slices of bread all across the surface and found no significant hot spot issues. Those burners also provide a lot of control, as you’d expect from a company that made its name with very accurate pellet grills. I even tried turning one side to high and leaving the other side turned off, and the side that wasn’t heated remained cool enough to touch with my bare hand after 10 minutes of preheating. Lowe’s memorial day sale is nothing short of impressive this year, especially when it comes to grills.
Following the vented lid, our favorite part of this griddle is the 360-degree grease pan that surrounds the 22-inch cooking surface. This means that no matter where oils splatter, the tray will catch them. The only con about this model is that there isn’t a handle to grip to move it around. This round griddle saves space while still providing everything you need and more.
