    As a 5 year griddle guy, this is great advice for the new gridlers. Extra tank does not cost much, but if it runs out when you are cooking, you fail, period. ALWAYS have a second tank ready to go. Probably the best advice ever for gridlers.

    Just purchased a griddle yesterday very excited to get started. I cook exclusively with cast iron and or carbon steel on the charcoal grill. Instead of the towels I use the a stainless steel mesh scrubber to remove left over bits stuck to the cooking surface. Highly recommend using this instead clean up is much easier and way more efficient, it also keeps the cooking surface free from any fabric threads that may come off onto your cooking surface. Nice video thank you !

    Nice video and good tips. The scraper is #1, I rarely use two spatulas. When making smash burgers, I put the spatula down on the meat and press with the scraper that way I don’t bend my spatula. Also on the Camp Chef griddle, you can get the cheap Dollar Tree all-metal scrapers with the curved metal handle and hang them on the side of the griddle as wind blocks (a must in Texas!).

    I am new to this and not a cook whatsoever. My wife is. I learned how to use my Traeger Timberline 1300 and internal temp cooking was the key or game changer. I have wanted a flat top grill and found you on This channel. I have watched a ton of your videos and bought your must haves. Just getting started but looking forward to this journey. You were my inspiration to go ahead and do this. Thank you for this video and all of the others. I have learned so much to date and still watching! Bought the 36" Blackstone pro series because of your video comparison. This weekend I am going to try a big breakfast cook.

    I bought a diamond plate cover on Amazon for my Camp Chef which fits perfectly, plus it has a hook on each side which hooks easily to the back of the griddle. I always have it hooked when grilling which works as a perfect backsplash. Guess I better get some squirt bottles to complete my set-up. Thanks for the content.

      I just bought the same thing to put on a 36 that someone gave me. I already had a small 22 that came from Walmart and had the stand, lid and everything. I cleaned up the 36, re-seasoned it, bought an igniter and some replacement burners. I absolutely love the extra room. Now, I'm stoked about the new year and all the grilling I'll be able to do. Only issue with the 36, and its a minor one, is the cooktop is slightly warped. Looking for help on TH-cam for that now. I've mastered breakfast, cheeseburgers, stir fry, salmon and scallops and the occasional steak and pork chop. I feel like I've only scratched the surface. 2022 is going to be epic!

    A few things I added to my arsenal are a folding camp table, a canvas tool bag(I used a Husky) and a small cutting board/knife set(Cooking essentials from Dollar General $6.00) that actually fits in the bag. The two pouches on the outside of the bag hold the squirt bottles well and there is ample space inside for spatulas, tongs, spices ect.

    As a rookie griddle cook, this video ticked ALL the boxes. As I'm sure you know, you can spend HOURS tumbling down the rabbit hole of accessories and still not have what you really need. Loved all of your recommendations, especially the details about rounded corners on spatulas and the utility of getting a good scrapper. Thanks for all the great advice!

    Great video and excellent tips. One small caveat though. Are far as instant read thermometers, there can be only one. You have to go with a Thermapen. And I think this week they are running a Father's Day special on the classic for $59. As a long time BBQ guy and short time flat top grill guy, I can't recommend them enough.

    Love my Blackstone and this was great content. I have everything less the “serving tray”. Never thought of that so I’m making several trips back and forth. One item I’d add to this list are small spray bottles. I keep Avo and EVO oil in mine and I’m able to mist the cook top for stir fry, after cleaning and seasoning, etc…. I use that all the time. Its a convenient way to prep the cook surface.

    That is a really good set of must haves. You have me convinced to get the dome system that you recommend because it comes with the rack for multi temperature cooking/warming. The scraper is another tool I think I will pick up. I have been using a spatula I have which has a chisel tip on it but it's not as wide. I do appreciate your experience and thank you for your service.

    I have several rectangular galvanized breakfast in bed/serving type trays I use for transporting supplies out to my grill. Always been happy with that purchase. Oh, for those using bacon grease or lard or tallow a stainless grease pot made with a handle and pour spout (dollar general has them right now for $6.50) would be great to warm up the fats to pourable consistency. Great ideas though. I'm looking for a camp stove for canning and figured I may as well utilize their other uses the rest of the season. I already have a grill, so a several burner griddle would be a nice addition.

    I got a scraper like the one you have when I first got my griddle. Worked fine, but then I found the Blackstone cleaning kit on sale and the scrapper in there has a handle on it. REALLY like the handled scraper much better.

    • @TheFlatTopKing
      @TheFlatTopKing  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great to hear. I always say what ever works the best for you. I used the Blackstone spatulas this week and despised them. No bend, heavy and too wide. BUT i did like the idea of the longer handle scraper. Especially when using water to release the food.

    I got my first griddle a few weeks ago after watching your review of the Weber 28” Griddle. I liked how even the temps were. It’s just me and my wife I’m cooking for. It was affordable and is the right size for my patio. I used to make smash burgers on my big green egg with a little griddle but I’m 74 with some heart disease and with my less than optimal energy level the process of preparing the egg and getting it up to temperature was a bit too cumbersome. And since the place where I bought it (Ace Hardware) assembled and delivered it, I got it. I made smash burgers on brioche buns last night and my wife, who is recovering from some serious medical issues and doesn’t eat much, said they were very good and ate the whole thing. I’m going to try making some keto pancakes next. Thank you for all your videos, keep up the good work. I’m sure the Lord has a hand in it.

    As always Brother, great vid. Easy to follow, packed with useful information, along with the answers for why you like or prefer a piece of gear. Grilling with a flat top is a learning experiance, it's fun, it is relaxing, and you get to eat your success, ( and sometimes your failures, that way there is no evidence). I loved the content, must haves are a great selection, then there are the because I want them items. According to my Wife I have a lot of just because items. lol Thank you for sharing your expertise with us.

    @Flat Top King - To control the heat on the side shelves, I bough scrapers at the dollar store (3 for each side) that work as heat shields. They are similar to your scraper you love, but they are curled over on one side for a handle. They hang right on the lip of the flat top. They work great. I have a Blackstone, but it looks like they would work on a Camp Chef also. I wish I could post a picture of them.

    Totally agree about instant read thermometer. Must have. It’s the single most important item to get good grilling results. That said, when you measure, pick up the food using tongs and go in sideways. If you go in through the top while it’s still on the grill, it’s way too easy to push it in too far and get the thermometer tip too close to the grill itself. Then your temperature reading is not correct (high).

    Winco 16 scraper can’t be beat. It’s what fast food restaurant use on flattops. It’s hands down best scraper. I removed the side tables and pushed into grill cubby surrounded by stone and concrete countertops to prevent extreme heat. Though even concrete gets hot.
