Built-In Gas Griddles

The modern outdoor kitchen is no longer limited to a freestanding grill but incorporates spectacular new appliances like built-in griddles, rotisserie kits, BBQ pizza ovens, and ceramic egg grills, to mention a few. Each of these new and exciting categories brings a fun twist to the capabilities of cooking a meal outside.

Built-in griddles are a serious contender for the most critical outdoor appliance of all. Many grill masters claim that the advent of Blackstone and luxury griddle brands like Evo has taken this product mainstream and provided even more versatility than a regular grill. In fact, many serious grillers say it's worth ditching the traditional built-in grill for a griddle because it gives you so much more cooking capability. The griddle opens the door to meals that a traditional grill could only have dreamed of.

More Versatile: It's great for breakfast, lunch, and dinner—not just traditional BBQ. It allows you to cook delicate items like fish or small veggies that might fall through grill grates.

Better Flavor: Food cooks in its juices (instead of dripping through), enhancing flavor and moisture.

Easier to Clean: No open grates mean less charred residue buildup. Grease channels and collection trays simplify cleaning, and there are no flare-ups from dripping fat.

Reduces Appliances: Griddles can do what traditional grills do, but try to cook an egg on a regular grill. Get a griddle, and you don't need a grill.

Safer for Beginners: Lower flame exposure reduces the risk of burns or flare-ups. There is no need to manage indirect/direct heat zones like with grills.
