I don't know about a portable unit like this, (and personally I'm a little put off by the lack of a thermostat) but, I love working a flattop (the thing you see breakfast cooks working at diners) it's just a giant rectangle of nice, consistent even heat. Sure, there are some hot and cool spots, but you learn about those. They really excel at flat things, so doing brats on one isn't the best use of time unless you're going to slice them open. You also won't get that nice char or smoke flavor you get from open flame. The big flattops I'm used to didn't get very hot, so you may not get that sear that you do from rocket hot grill grates, but you may be able to get this up to a higher temp given it's lack of thermal control. What you do get is a nice crisp layer on the outside of your proteins. It's cooking cooler than a grill, but there is tons of contact area which is increased by the fact fats can't drip away so they transfer heat into the little nooks and crannies. This will allow different textures and flavors to develop than you get from an open flame. You also don't have to worry about veggies falling though. Breakfast items are where they shine. Pancakes, eggs, hash browns, bacon.
One issue I'd consider is this is going to take longer than an open-flame grill to heat up and for the heat to evenly spread throughout the plate.
Cleanup kind of depends on how it's setup. A griddle scraper is good to get all the stuck-on bits and excess lipids and I scrape after every item that gets cooked. I'm used to being able to pull the fat and bits into a trough at the front or side, but I don't know how this one is setup, though I'd be very surprised if it didn't have something like this. After you're done cooking, use some water to cool it down and soften the cooked-on food and scrape it with a pumice stone and you're good to go.
Despite my love for griddles/flattops, I personally would rather have a normal open-flame grill if I could only have one.
Hey, This looks awesome, and I like the idea of a griddle for veggies and smaller items, but can someone with a griddle give me the pros and cons, please? How hard is it to clean? What's going on with the fat/oil cleanup after burgers and brats? Does it sear as well as a regular grill? Is there any way to do indirect heat with a griddle effectively?
Note: I tried to post in the Q&A section, but it was too long.

Lots of out of stock in my area, and prices all over the place according to brickseek. I always have bad luck with walmart and brickseek, any tips without turning this into an hours long hunt?

I checked Walmart's website and it says no stock near my area. How accurate is it? I dont want to drive around from Walmart to Walmart. for this.
Its gonna be a hunt. I have two WM in my area. One has marked down all the summer/grills and not showing on BS. The other hasnt marked anything down yet.
The WM that has started marking stuff down, I was able to grab a 17in for $60.
They get cheaper, but they sell become much harder to find. It's really a crapshoot after the initial drops.
Agreed, but only because someone posts the first price drop so people run to grab them. It's a delicate game of waiting as long as possible to let the price drop vs buy the last one at your store before someone else does lol
