Current Model G Electric Griddle

The top of the electric grill market: a full-size cart grill reaching 700°F on 120 V, with two independent heat zones, two included meat probes and sockets for four, and Wi-Fi control. 330 sq in of primary grate plus a 92 sq in warming rack. It replaces the original Model G alongside the cheaper Model G+, and it is the only electric that matches a gas grill's searing temperature.

The Slate 30 is Weber's answer to the mid-size Blackstone, and its whole pitch is lower maintenance: the carbon-steel cooktop is case-hardened and pre-seasoned at the factory, and owners consistently report it shrugs off the surface rust that plagues bare-steel Blackstones left outside. Reviewers and owners also praise how evenly it heats edge to edge — three burners under 540 sq in with far fewer cold corners than the 4-burner Blackstone 36 — and the front-corner grease trap is easier to manage than rear-scrape systems. The build is classic Weber: heavy, rigid cart, good casters, and a 5-year warranty versus Blackstone's 1 year. The honest trade-offs: at $649 it costs roughly twice as much as a Blackstone 28 with similar cooking area, the digital temp display is reserved for the $799 premium trim, rust resistance is explicitly excluded from the cooktop warranty, and you still need to season and oil it like any griddle. If you griddle weekly and hate rust babysitting, the Slate is worth the premium; occasional smash-burger cooks will get 90% of the experience from a Blackstone for half the price.

Halo splits each of its two burners into two controllable zones, so a 480 sq in plate runs four temperatures rather than two — the reason the Elite line exists. The cooktop is inset below the surrounding frame to shelter the flame from wind, and a stainless lid lets it cook closed. Halo is now a Worthington Enterprises brand and sells direct from halocooks.com.

This is the griddle Camp Chef used to sell as the Flat Top Grill 600 — same 604 sq in and 48,000 BTU across four burners, renamed Gridiron 36 in the 2026 line. Camp Chef's distinguishing move is that the round grill grates lift out of the flat top, so the same unit runs as a griddle or as a conventional grate grill. Camp Chef sells it through dealers rather than direct.

Pit Boss's answer to the two things people dislike about griddles. First, the cooktop is coated in a non-stick armored ceramic that ships ready to cook and resists rust, so there is no seasoning ritual. Second, the 89 lb top lifts off the cart entirely and becomes a tabletop griddle for a campsite. 647 sq in and 46,000 BTU across four burners.

The four-zone 36-inch Iron Forged, Blackstone's current volume flagship and the direct successor to the Original 36 already in the catalog at $297. Same 768 sq in plate area, but with the Omnivore heat-spreading plate, a hood, an extendable side shelf and the rail accessory system. Against the Culinary 36 at $1,099 it gives up the cabinet base, the pull-out tank drawer and the stainless trim.
