What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Weber Slate GP 36" Griddle, focusing primarily on its exceptional ease of use and superior cooking performance. The nonstick surface is a major highlight, delivering immediate, hassle-free cooking for delicate foods without requiring initial seasoning. Users consistently report impressive, even heat distribution across the entire cooking area, ensuring consistent results for large batches. Furthermore, the robust build quality typical of Weber products inspires confidence in its longevity. While the price is premium, the combination of innovative nonstick technology, reliable performance, and simplified cleanup makes this griddle a highly valued upgrade for outdoor cooking enthusiasts.
Know before you buy
Yes, like all carbon steel cookware, the surface needs to be seasoned before its first use and kept oiled after cleaning to prevent rust. Regular maintenance is essential to build a non-stick patina and ensure the longevity of the griddle top.
Absolutely. The Slate GP 36" features four independent burners, allowing you to create different temperature zones across the 756-square-inch surface. This is ideal for searing proteins on one side while keeping vegetables or delicate items warm on the other.
The griddle measures 66.1 inches wide and 24.1 inches deep. You should also account for additional clearance around the unit for safe operation and access to the side shelves.
The quick electronic ignition system is designed for consistent, one-touch starts. While it is built for outdoor use, keeping the igniter clean and dry will ensure it functions reliably throughout the season.
Given the 190-pound weight and the size of the steel frame, assembly is best handled by two people. It is a substantial piece of equipment, so having an extra set of hands will make the process much safer and more efficient.
This model is designed to run on a standard 20-pound liquid propane tank, which is the common size found for most residential gas grills. The cart design includes space to securely house the tank.
