Another perk of this outdoor cooking device is that it keeps smoke and strong food smells in the fresh air instead of your kitchen. When shopping for a griddle, you’ll find a range of sizes suitable for small patios and serving large groups. There are a couple other non-cooking-related features that are nice bonuses.
To bring to tailgates and other on-the-go cookouts, remove the griddle top and the tank, collapse the legs, then put it all into your vehicle. Built-in WiFIRE technology allows you to control your grill with the Traeger app, meaning you can manage long smokes without spending all day outside. This all-in-one Expert Grill Combo Grills tool grills, smokes, bakes, roasts, braises and BBQs. We love Traeger so much that we gave them top spot as the best pellet grill after tons of review. Prepare for tailgate season with a portable grill that packs into a bag. Take the guesswork out of smoking meats with a high-tech Wi-Fi enabled pellet grill.
The porcelain-coated cooktop and the fully enclosed grease management system make this griddle stand apart from the crowd. While they’ve been selling griddles since 2005, they’ve enjoyed the huge resurgence in this style of outdoor cooking. Finally, the griddle top on the Flatrock is made of carbon steel, a cooking material we are big fans of at Epi. It’s more durable than things like enameled cast iron, and releases more easily than stainless steel. The best flat-top portable griddle combo is one with powerful independent burners, an easy grease management system, and outstanding grilling performance.
We appreciate touches like the hex head screws at the corners, which let you level the griddle’s surface on an uneven patio, deck, or lawn. At this size, it’s important to get the grease draining in the right direction. Each of the six burners cranks out 12,000 BTUs with chunky dials that help adjust the temperature from sear down to a simmer, so you can add a pot to boil water or a skillet to reduce a pan sauce. By now you’ve probably heard all about the benefits of the pellet grill. Use it to grill, smoke, sear, roast and bake with a single appliance.

The answer comes down to how much you enjoy cooking outdoors and for a crowd. You can cook a steak over your gas or charcoal grill, for instance, and use a flat-top grill for eggs, pancakes, and home fries to make a farmer’s breakfast. The Steelmade Flat Top for Outdoor Grill provides much more even heating versus competing dedicated flat top grills.
It still uses 4 stainless steel burners with matchless ignition for ease of use and features two wheels instead of four to allow for transportation to and from a given storage area. Thanks to three horseshoe burners you get incredibly even temperatures across the entire cooktop. I’ve tested a lot of griddles and never used a griddle that didn’t have hot and cold spots.
