Traeger Flatrock Griddle Reviews, Prices & Specs

[RayClem]

My wife’s cousin with the hardware store ordered it for me. I haven’t seen them in stock anywhere, but he can get them straight from Weber.

Side note he’s had two Flatrocks in his store for 3 months and can’t sale them. Lots of folks interested but he no one has been willing to fork out the $8-900 when you can get others did have price or less. It’s not to say it’s not worth it. It’s a tank with lots of features. It’s a premium griddle and he just may not be in a premium market. He’s sold some Pros and Ironwoods, but I don’t think they are priced as as high above the competition as the Flatrock is. He will come over at some point and we will do Smashburgers or sown thing. He’s thinking of maybe stocking a few of these because the price point is better

I am certain the Flatrock is a great grill, but only time will tell if it is worth the price. Since I have been retired nearly 10 years, I do not know how much longer I will be alive and feel like cooking outdoors. Thus, a less expensive grill seemed to be a better option for me.

There’s probably not perfect tool for everyone. Just weigh all the factors best you can and make the right call for you. For me $800-900 just seemed like a lot for my first foray into griddling outdoors, but for those who can afford it and know they’ll use I can see the $4-500 extra being a negligible amount in the grand scheme of things.

I’ll let everyone know how the Weber goes. Heading out to eat for my birthday now and worked today so haven’t had a chance to assemble it yet. Plan on doing that and seasoning it before the weekend weather permitting.

The Weber is likely the best for the price point just like almost all their prime offerings. The larger griddle has a hinged lid which operates like a dream. First rate engineering.

Enjoy!

I bought the Blackstone portable for $179 so the Weber would be a huge upgrade to me!

I wanted the extra size with the extra wheels and nicer lid. I’m super tight on space though. Like pushing it to get the 28”. Oh well. Certain I worth the extra money just for any of the three and no brainer for all of them.

I love weber in general though. If I ever go with a bigger sized pellet I’m going to look hard at that Smokefire

I was at a friend of a friend’s house and he has the new Traeger griddle. I must say I’m impressed by how well it’s built, very solid and sturdy. I really like the front chute as well as the pull out drawer for easy access to the grease/waste bucket. Although it wasn’t in use and I didn’t cook on it, the owner said; he likes it and although he’s only cooked on it about a dozen times that everything has cooked great. He had a little harder time seasoning it than one he had stolen (Blackstone) off his covered porch. When I asked him if he noticed any big differences between the two. He said, other than price and the seasoning issue (couldn’t blame it said it could have been him) it cooks the same, it seems to cook a little hotter but contributes it to the thicker top and he has to get better acquainted with it. He also likes the lid, it’s sturdier than his other (he had a newer model) and fits better. He likes the big sturdy fold down side counters but he wished it had a shelf underneath it as well as the lp tank holder his other had. I asked him if it was worth the difference in the price, his response……. To him no, but his wife wanted it to “compliment his Timberline”!

In all honesty if I was younger and had the money I have now (not on the edge of retirement) heck yeah I would buy one! However I’m 61, semi retired and hoping to be able to travel a lot more than ever (I’ve traveled a lot already) and not have to worry about money anymore. I have recently reevaluated my life goals, I’ve put my needs before my wants drayage solutions los angeles for the everyday things and I’m content with the griddle I have.

Great and informative
