Let's talk flat top griddles

I will say the best burger I’ve ever churned out was a smash burger on a blackstone rather than over gas or charcoal. Get that right and it’s worth it by itself.

Side note: look up roasted Pablanos. That will up a man’s burger game.

I like a nice charcoal flavor from the grill on beef, but beef when it's cooked in it's own fat is superior IMO

I love flat tops, can make some fine food with them

If you are only cooking for one, take your cast iron skillet and put it on your gas grill to get the grease splatters out of your kitchen. Works for bacon also.

Infrared thermometer is recommended for checking temperatures. They are useful anyway.

If you're cooking for two, the $70 griddle that goes over the gas grill works pretty well for a cheap way to go.

I used to only cook meat over gas or charcoal but now I sous vide a lot of meat and finish it on the cast iron.
