Tennessee Pride....man that takes me back to the 80's and getting ready for school and the "Country Boy Eddie" morning show would be on TV with ol' Eddie hawking that sausage. Got a Blackstone for Christmas and have been going through your videos to prep myself. Thank you for the tutorials!
You did it again, Neil. Great griddle, great breakfast and great presentation. And, as always, great camera work, Amy. You two have got it going on. Congratulations to your daughter on her cheerleading win!
I've had mine a few weeks weeks now and love it. My first few cooks have been in 50deg rainy weather with no problems in maintaining temps. I'm looking forward to summer cooks.
Great video, Neal. Congratulations to your daughter! Breakfast looks great and we learned that we probably are cooking our bacon too high. We didn't think it would crisp up on a lower temp.
Just to help other new owners: I did season one layer of avacado oil on my new Slate but I doubt it needed it. Did a couple cooks since then and the griddle has been very non-stick. Even the scrambled eggs had no issues whatsoever. I do believe it's preseasoned enough. That being said - I really wanted to wash it before use so I put some soapy water on and scrubbed. That is why I decided to season it once - in case that soap removed some seasoning. Hope that helps!
Fantastic MID-NITE CHOW RUN. Great job Neil and Amy you two do awesome videos and recipes and have a great time together. Keep up the great videos and recipes, we appreciate the work you all do around there. Fred.
Great looking breakfast! Hash Browns, Pancakes! How about a video of the perfect griddle. This one has the best griddle, this is the best heat distribution, the best grease catch placement etc
I’ve got to stop watching your videos at night. Dang it now I’m hungry again. Breakfast is my favorite meal. Great griddle cook as usual. Super video. Thanks.
I like your conclusion that even though there are some hot spots on the top, once you load it up with food it seems to even out. That seems to be the same thing that happens on my Evo. Good video, and I stand by my prior comments that your hashbrowns always kick my hash brown's fannies! Nice work Neal.
Great video and awesome cooking as always. Now let's do a comparison between the Webber Slate Griddle + Camp Chef + Blackstone. Big Ups to you guys from Weymouth Massachusetts.
Excellent breakfast Neal! I totally could tell the middle runs hotter as you mentioned. It's so evident when you flipped the bacon. Really a great review as always!
I thought about the traeger but im gonna go with the weber slate 3 burner. The 4 is massive. The traeger after all the stuff you ll need was like 1200 bux. A lil too steep
Yup, I'm sold on getting a slate! I was already looking at it and watched your review video and this one. I'm very impressed compared to the first one they put out.
Same here brother. Just ordered one up @ Ace Hardware. If you order it from Ace, not only will they assemble it, but if you live fairly close to the store, they will deliver it for free.
@@BigLob2 that's exactly what they did for me. I've had mine for about a month and love it! Easiest griddle I've ever cooked on and pretty easy to clean.
Your vid’s are the best. Thanks for the time you commit to help us make an informed decision. Your reviews are swaying me to the Traeger. Really disappointed in the hot zones of the Slate. I love the lower temps of the Slate but coming from a BS, I’m due for more of a zones and even cook.
Nice review II like the demonstration of the hot spots. I've seen before the slicing of sausage from the tube. Really nice idea. I am a Jimmy Deans fan.
been looking at these. I will buy before blackstone. Just apreffrnce. Probably not a lot of diff between most of them. Definitely season all before use and after cleaning. Great Video!
Love your videos. Speaking for myself, the best way I found to make my hash-browns was to either bake in foil or slow boil my whole potatoes ahead of time (planning...I know) cool them, refrigerate for a couple of hours, peel and shred them. Sounds like a lot of work but not so much. Then either use them or freeze for later. Cooked and perfectly crispy every time.
I'm a little bit new at the griddling and I do love my outdoor 36-in griddle and my indoor 21 inch griddle. One day I'm going to have to try making multiple items at one time like this. So far while I am new at it I have been only cooking a whole surface full of one item at a time. As a single guy it doesn't really matter too much sometimes, but I definitely would love to make a whole breakfast at once or some whole meal at once instead of making them item by item.
Great video. I love my 36 inch slate, I am about to do my 3rd cook on it. Weber gets stock on the 36 but it doesn't last. I suggest anyone who wants a 36 to call them, don't use the website. I ordered mine on April 12th, they had 5 in stock and the website said out of stock. I have seen the slightly high spot you reference, but when I actually cook it does not show up in my food. I have filled it with bacon from edge to edge twice, I even had bacon on either side of the grease trap.. Only those pieces and the front right corner were low After 2 cooks I feel good enough about the temperature and the knobs that I don't even care about my IR thermometer. Thank you for your service to our country and your service to us cooks :)
I have the 36” slate also. Love it so far cooks very even. What dial setting are you using mostly? I’m finding a little higher than in between low and medium is my sweet spot so far.
I feel the same way. Personally I sand a brand new preseasoned pan until smooth and season with flaxseed oil until I'm happy and reseason every time I use it.
Great page & content! Looking at buying the Slate, trying to decide between the 30 or 36”. 30” would be about the same surface area as my 4 burner Weber grill, but the 36 is tempting. Subscribed!
Well I appreciate that...I would say this..if you can afford the price and space...100 36in burner...just like in real-estate....space is hard to find...may not need it everyday...but when you do...its nice to have
Thanks for the video...pretty much made my decision for me. I currently have a 36 BS that while the cooking surface is still in great shape the rest of it is falling apart, peeling, rusting etc. Plus i dont care for the rear grease trap. Was considering the Halo 4burner but now I think the Weber Slate looks like a better choice. I will say not being able to use the lid while cooking is disappointing at this price point.
Great breakfast cook review! I read between the lines on your first review and got one. Love the build and the features. I seasoned with just one thin coat of grape seed oil then cooked a bunch of onions with avocado oil covering the whole surface. The onions did cook even. I am also getting the hot spot in the middle but turning down the middle burner lower than the rest mitigates. Just did big breakfast and my sausage was cooked even as were the two hashbrown piles. Low temp cooking is easy to achieve (320), and I am already able to ramp up and down temps and dial in even though this is my first griddle. Already so nonstick I have trouble flipping my OE eggs because they slide around so easy. After higher heat for hashbrowns I turned to low and did scrambled eggs with no sticking and no browning which is great because several in family do not want any browning on eggs. The surface of this griddle is primo. As good as my premium smooth American cast iron and French carbon steel skillets. I am thinking the wind protection may be one reasons why the Slate has a little less even heat than the old 28" model. However, living in Nebraska wind protection is important. Had a stiff breeze this morning and no issues getting plenty of even heat.
Great looking hashbrowns Neil. We have never been thick pancake people. We love a thin sourdough flat Jack's. Looks like the weber is a keeper. I still enjoy my original camp chef griddle. There is no better was to cook bacon.
I just ordered the 36 inch Slate . Its on backorder but i cannot wait to get it . Ive been a lifeling Blackstone guy but the looks of the Slate has pulled me in lol . Great video brother guys !!
Hash Browns-Shred raw potatoes with a box grater, microwave on high to jump start the potatoes cooking. While hot, stir in bacon grease, salt & pepper to taste. Put on buttered griddle. As you flip them, re-butter the griddle to help them brown.
Is the Weber worth the significant increase in cost over the Blackstone? I’m not an expert on Blackstone griddles, but it looks like the Weber costs several hundred bucks more than a comparable one from Blackstone. I assume that you’re using your oven to keep all of that food warm. If you ever want a recommendation for a high quality chafing dish like the ones hotels use at their buffet breakfasts, I can do that. I got one on Bezos’ website a few years ago and definitely a heavy duty, commercial product and it wasn’t crazy expensive. It would easily hold everything you cooked here. Since the heat is coming from steam underneath the pan, you never have to worry about your food drying out. It runs on Sterno cans, so you can use it anywhere, which is convenient.
Looks amazing grill. But if you had the choice of other Weber grills like the Family Q, Genesis etc or Slate what would be the better for a Family of 3. Thanks.
Thats a tuff one...one is gas...one is a gas griddle...if you only could have one...the gas grill and buy a griddle insert....that way you get best of both worlds...and more functional
thanks so much for this video. I have enjoyed watching you channel and I like your honesty about Weber's claim that this is an "End to end even heat griddle". Please let me know what griddle that you have tested has the most even end-to-end heating
I have had my Weber 4 burner 36 inch for about 9-10 months, version 1 not the new one. My hot spot is the far right side which seems easier to manage the griddle temp than it is with yours being the hot spot in the middle because it is effecting both left and right. Both version 1 and 2 are keepers in my book. can't see myself ever cooking on a Blackstone as long as weber is out there. Have you seen the price of the Blackstone Pro Series? Over a $1,000 on the Pizza Oven and Griddles closer to $1500! Crazy
I said I thought Weber missed the mark on this one, but perhaps not as much as I thought. Actually seeing the cook may have changed my mind. The ability to stay fairly low temps is phenomenal. Hot spots seemed to not be too far off once food hits the surface. The only negative I can really see if the dumb temperature dial. Go Army.
Trying to decide between this and the Traeger Flatrock for my first griddle. Would love to hear your honest opinion on the best one. Also, it seems there is some marketing terms being used surrounding the “slate” that it is rust resistant. Is it really any different than other brands?
I’ve done a lot of research and looked at the grills in person. Without a doubt, Weber 36 inch slate is the way to go. The extra room with it end tables and all the accessories make it an incredibly efficient cooking experience. I ordered mine at Ace Hardware. They will assemble and if you live close enough to the store, within 10 miles, they will deliver for free.
Thank you for this great vid. I'm retiring from the Air Force next month after 27 years and my family is coming out to celebrate, so I'm thankful to have a griddle to cook for 15 people. Question: what is that beveled scraper you used?
I’m in a tuff pickle y’all. I can’t decide on whether to buy the new weber slate griddle or the new Traeger griddle. I don’t like how the Traeger needs an electrical source but not sure if that should be a deal breaker. Please help
Great video! If your new fresh potato hash brown method includes a salad spinner, make sure you give me credit for it… Cheers (from a newly retired Pepperidge Farmer) !!!
So what’s do ya think, is the upgrade worth the price difference vs the previous version? Does the edge to edge on previous model overcome the nice extras/shelves on the Slate?
would you consider reviewing the walmart expert grill griddle. I have one and I think its great but I would love to know your opinion. just looking out for the budget minded backyard cooker.
Unfortunately I have not used that...it would be wrong for me to comment....However....I think i would like a half size or the crafted insert like you mentioned more....only gripe I have is....you have to use the whole thing....I like the idea of searing a steak on one side and sauteing mushrooms and onions on the other...kinda thing
What does "slate" mean? Is it coated? And will it rust? Also, curious you are using steel implements to clean the surface. Is this a regular cold steel surface?
Thats a lot to answer...Weber.com will have all that... Will it rust...only time will tell...i have done an update and it did not rust so far...yes metal tools...always....its not coated...its steel...just baked at a high temp...as a consequence...its created a rust resistant griddle surface.....
Do you think this 30 is enough for my family of 4 ( two small kids ) and time to time parties for Smash Burgers.. seems like i might use this griddle the most for breakfast for my family and maybe tacos for family/party
Just started watching your videos, had to subscribe. Love your channel. What would be your recommendation for a griddle under $1k? Been looking for several weeks now and would like your thought’s. My main thing would be an even cooking surface.
under 1k puts just about all brands in the game...for me its been traeger since day one....its my favorite....weber is right up there....but like all....all griddles have goods and bads....Halo is a good one too....
With all the griddles you use, do you make "maps" of each one to remember hot/cool zones for later? Also, you need a large funnel and glass jar with lid to store that bacon grease in the fridge... "If you don't have bacon grease, how can you make delicious fried chicken livers." (My rendition of Pink Floyd's "The Wall".) LoL
Good video guys,, congratulations to your daughter ! You are making me hungry. It's time here in Montana , I can use my Blackstone any day now. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA......

Those pancakes came out looking perfect on that griddle!
We had a restaurant with a couple of flat tops. Even the institutional brands don't evenly heat. You just learn to cook around the hot spots. LOL
You did it again, Neil. Great griddle, great breakfast and great presentation. And, as always, great camera work, Amy. You two have got it going on. Congratulations to your daughter on her cheerleading win!
TY
Love this griddle. I think I have used it like 20 times in 3 weeks lol.
I'm impressed with this first cook. No sticking and generally even cooking throughout, start to finish. Great job again, you guys!
Ty
Great job Neil. It was very interesting in seeing you make breakfast on your griddle using the different techniques.
I wish Weber made this quality of griddle with their initial try. I might still have a Weber.
What a great Dad!
I've had mine a few weeks weeks now and love it. My first few cooks have been in 50deg rainy weather with no problems in maintaining temps. I'm looking forward to summer cooks.
Great video, Neal. Congratulations to your daughter! Breakfast looks great and we learned that we probably are cooking our bacon too high. We didn't think it would crisp up on a lower temp.
Very impressed with heat on the weber low was low and you cooked everything to perfection.
Glad you enjoyed it
My black stone looks 20 years old despite being a year old and my Weber looks new despite being 10. The longevity alone is worth it to me.
Just to help other new owners: I did season one layer of avacado oil on my new Slate but I doubt it needed it. Did a couple cooks since then and the griddle has been very non-stick. Even the scrambled eggs had no issues whatsoever. I do believe it's preseasoned enough.

Always enjoy the videos! I’m holding out (very impatiently) for the 36”. Look forward to seeing your next cook!
Camp chef comes out soon
Don't have to hold out. Blackstone already has one.
Thanks for a great review. Just went out to Ace and picked up the 30 inch. So it will be parked next to the LSG Pellet and a Weber Genesis.
Great backyard for sure..love the combo...cheers
@@TheFlatTopKing thanks Shipmate
Great griddle instruction again, of course then the great cooking.
Have loved this griddle so far, has been great to cook with. Does exactly what I want it to do 😃
I plan on getting one next week. Love the vids.
Thank you! Sounds like, looks like this is a pretty good griddle!
Wow. Once it got cooking that was actually surprisingly even.
The edge to edge even heating is still a lot better than some of the other griddles
Absolutely

Great presentation Weber makes a great product and your video clearly demonstrates that 👍🏼
I have learned a ton watching your channel and I have the 36-inch Slate ordered at my local Ace. First griddle for me!
hey thats awesome...congrats
Excellent. Thank you!!
Impressed with the surface and accessories. Now I’m starving!🤤🤤
Great video thanks for your input and sharing your knowledge. Looking fwd to the hash browns instruction video! Nicely done mate!

Thanks for the video...pretty much made my decision for me. I currently have a 36 BS that while the cooking surface is still in great shape the rest of it is falling apart, peeling, rusting etc. Plus i dont care for the rear grease trap.

Yeah...not a fan of that....if interested in a few weeks Camp Chef comes out with theres..hahaha just one more to them mix
I really shouldn't watch these videos on an empty stomach ;-) Great fun to watch.
Great breakfast cook review! I read between the lines on your first review and got one. Love the build and the features. I seasoned with just one thin coat of grape seed oil then cooked a bunch of onions with avocado oil covering the whole surface. The onions did cook even.

After higher heat for hashbrowns I turned to low and did scrambled eggs with no sticking and no browning which is great because several in family do not want any browning on eggs. The surface of this griddle is primo. As good as my premium smooth American cast iron and French carbon steel skillets. I am thinking the wind protection may be one reasons why the Slate has a little less even heat than the old 28" model. However, living in Nebraska wind protection is important. Had a stiff breeze this morning and no issues getting plenty of even heat.
great comment...thanks
Great looking hashbrowns Neil. We have never been thick pancake people. We love a thin sourdough flat Jack's. Looks like the weber is a keeper. I still enjoy my original camp chef griddle. There is no better was to cook bacon.

Awesome bud...hope you enjoy...cant imagine you wont...
Looks amazing and healthy!
Excellent information and tips.
Didn't the griddle insert into the traditional Weber do pretty well (better) vs. this Slate grill?
I hope so, I got the insert as a gift and trying to decide to keep it or upgrade to a stand alone unit.
Hash Browns-Shred raw potatoes with a box grater, microwave on high to jump start the potatoes cooking. While hot, stir in bacon grease, salt & pepper to taste. Put on buttered griddle. As you flip them, re-butter the griddle to help them brown.
Definitely looks 🔥 nice job with the new griddle Neal! Cheers 🍻

Is the Weber worth the significant increase in cost over the Blackstone? I’m not an expert on Blackstone griddles, but it looks like the Weber costs several hundred bucks more than a comparable one from Blackstone.
I assume that you’re using your oven to keep all of that food warm. If you ever want a recommendation for a high quality chafing dish like the ones hotels use at their buffet breakfasts, I can do that. I got one on Bezos’ website a few years ago and definitely a heavy duty, commercial product and it wasn’t crazy expensive. It would easily hold everything you cooked here.

Easily the Traeger flatrock from watching his past videos.
The first weber was amazing at that..but ultimately the Traeger has the best so far...
I have had my Weber 4 burner 36 inch for about 9-10 months, version 1 not the new one. My hot spot is the far right side which seems easier to manage the griddle temp than it is with yours being the hot spot in the middle because it is effecting both left and right. Both version 1 and 2 are keepers in my book. can't see myself ever cooking on a Blackstone as long as weber is out there.
Have you seen the price of the Blackstone Pro Series? Over a $1,000 on the Pizza Oven and Griddles closer to $1500! Crazy
i have....dont understand it...not any information about it anywhere either...like the silent surprise for the wealthy
Congrats "Cheerdad !" Makes me wanna do a big breakfast again soon - I think I will
Have you tried the Brabura flat top griddle? It looks incredible!
I could buy a car for how much they cost.
Love the videos.
Go NAVY!
THANKS for feeding us!
Debating between this and the Traeger flat rock. What is your pick if you can only have one?
Weber slate 36 inch… All the way
Great job, good cook, looks banging.
One killer looking breakfast

I guess I am lucky, my new Blackstone is within 10 degrees edge to edge but it does get very hot so I have to be careful.
Just need a 17” travel version!

You can get a base model without the useless thermometer. It's $649 I believe

Do you think this 30 is enough for my family of 4 ( two small kids ) and time to time parties for Smash Burgers.. seems like i might use this griddle the most for breakfast for my family and maybe tacos for family/party
I honestly do...My family is 4....same problem here...
What are you spreading on griddle in between hashbrowns and pancakes
Excellent review Brotha 🫡
Shoot now I want Breakfast for Dinner!! Nice addition to your arsenal, Cheers Y’all 👊🏼😎🤙🏼
Is avocado your preferred oil seasoning
What were you wiping on the griddle plate between items?
it looked like a stick of butter.
Just started watching your videos, had to subscribe. Love your channel. What would be your recommendation for a griddle under $1k? Been looking for several weeks now and would like your thought’s. My main thing would be an even cooking surface.
under 1k puts just about all brands in the game...for me its been traeger since day one....its my favorite....weber is right up there....but like all....all griddles have goods and bads....Halo is a good one too....
@ Awesome, thank you for your response. Weber was one of the ones at the top of my list.
Also, the toast test, brilliant idea. Genius… 😬
With all the griddles you use, do you make "maps" of each one to remember hot/cool zones for later? Also, you need a large funnel and glass jar with lid to store that bacon grease in the fridge... "If you don't have bacon grease, how can you make delicious fried chicken livers." (My rendition of Pink Floyd's "The Wall".) LoL
Looks nice, but I really hate the location lf the grease trap hole.
Very Nice.
Good video guys,, congratulations to your daughter ! You are making me hungry. It's time here in Montana , I can use my Blackstone any day now. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA......
Side note….what program do y’all use to edit videos?
