Flat Top Griddle | 3 Unexpected Ways to Get One

In recent years, the flat top griddle has skyrocketed in popularity. It’s easy to see why. With the ability to cook such a wide range of foods… The versatility you get is nearly unmatched!

We’re talking breakfast foods, vegetables, fish… And even classic barbecue staples like burgers and steaks. However, it’s not always a no-brainer to achieve one. Especially if you want one for your outdoor kitchen!

There’s only so much real estate you can work with… So a flat top griddle has to fit in with all your other appliances. Thankfully, there’s more than one way to get a griddle into your outdoor kitchen!

Let’s discuss.

Of course… The first and easiest way is to incorporate a built in flat top griddle. If you have room in your design, this may be the preferable option! You’ll get the most cooking real-estate… And a dedicated appliance for cooking on a flat top. However, this will be the most expensive option! You’ll also be taking up space in your design that could be used toward other appliances. Like the Coyote power burner!

The power burner is just as it sounds… A high-octane side burner. This is commonly used for large lobster or crab boils. However, it can also be used with a wok accessory. It can also be used with a teppanyaki attachment to create… Yes, a flat top griddle! You won’t get quite as much cooking area… But you will get far more cooking functionality!
