How did I know you’d end up with a Flatrock
I’d take a Weber too. Either one.How did I know you’d end up with a Flatrock
Pretty happy with my Weber so far, but I do wish it had a snazzy name. Not sure why they just called it the 28” griddle. Pretty boring.I’d take a Weber too. Either one.
I do think I’ll like the wide shelves. Although they do take up real estate. I’m no griddle expert but I’ve cook a little bit on a Camp Chef.
Weber rarely does anything too flashy they make things that look very basic and unassuming but simply work very well. I have several Weber products and they are generally simple yet brilliant. I’d be surprised if you don’t produce first rate product with the 28” griddle. Maybe you can name it something catchy. I know several people who name their cookers.Pretty happy with my Weber so far, but I do wish it had a snazzy name. Not sure why they just called it the 28” griddle. Pretty boring.
The grease trap seems like it’s in a weird place to me on the Flatrock. How’s that going?I’d take a Weber too. Either one.

No issue. The camp chef had a trough across the entire front which worked ok too. I suppose I don’t have to scrape everything all the way across the griddle during cleanup. Just 3/4 of the way. it’s a big griddle surface.The grease trap seems like it’s in a weird place to me on the Flatrock. How’s that going?
You need to very aggressively scrape the surface and then deglaze with water. I’d say the seasoning is not thick and durable enough. It’s that simple. Steel is pretty much the same. It’s carbon steel. What kinda of oil did you use? How many thin coats? Did you make sure it was screaming hot when seasoning?Trouble in paradise. I pulled my cover off about 30 minutes ago to take a look and it looked like this on my griddle surface. Not a drop of water on the top of the cover or the flat top though. I scrape it all off and lightly coat with oil after every single cook
Avocado. Screaming hot. I took my scraper to it hard and got it up. Cleaned it up and am reasoning. Fingers crossedYou need to very aggressively scrape the surface and then deglaze with water.

Not that uncommon of an issue.
