What customers say
Customers generally express a highly positive sentiment towards the Weber Slate GP Premium Griddle 36", often highlighting its exceptional build quality and robust construction as hallmarks of the Weber brand. Users frequently laud the expansive 36-inch cooking surface, which provides ample space for preparing large meals, making it ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. The griddle's performance is consistently praised for its powerful burners and remarkably even heat distribution, ensuring consistent cooking results across the entire surface, from delicate pancakes to searing steaks. Many appreciate the thoughtful design features, such as the efficient grease management system and convenient side tables, which enhance the overall cooking experience. The premium feel and durable materials contribute significantly to a sense of long-term investment. However, some common points of consideration emerge. The premium price point is occasionally mentioned, leading some to weigh its value against more budget-friendly options, though most conclude the quality justifies the cost. Its substantial size, while a benefit for cooking capacity, can be a drawback for those with limited storage space or seeking portability.

Despite these minor considerations, the overwhelming sentiment is one of satisfaction and enthusiasm, with many considering it a significant upgrade to their outdoor cooking arsenal, delivering a superior griddling experience.
Know before you buy
Cold-rolled steel is prized for its ability to heat evenly and retain temperature, which is essential for achieving a consistent sear across the entire 756-square-inch surface. Unlike some other materials, it becomes more non-stick as it is seasoned over time.
Yes, the four independent burners allow you to create distinct heat zones. You can sear proteins on one side while keeping vegetables warm or toasting buns on the other.
The system features a dedicated channel that directs grease and food debris toward a removable tray located at the front of the unit. This design makes it easy to slide the tray out and empty it without needing to reach around the back or sides of the griddle.
The lid is designed for versatile cooking, allowing you to trap heat for melting cheese on burgers or steaming vegetables. When not in use, it protects the griddle surface from the elements.
The griddle arrives in a large box and requires assembly of the frame, side tables, and shelves. While it is a straightforward process, the unit weighs 190 pounds, so it is highly recommended to have a second person assist with lifting and positioning.
No, the Weber Slate GP 36" is designed specifically for use with liquid propane tanks. It does not include a conversion kit for natural gas.
