Grills & Griddles

Both gas and charcoal grills work well for beginners, depending on your background. If you’re new to outdoor cooking, gas grills are likely more accessible because they’re similar to a gas stovetop. However, if you have friends or family who grill with charcoal, then the classic charcoal setup is familiar and beginner-friendly. 

Yes, you can use a griddle on a gas grill, such as a cast-iron or carbon pan. However, it won’t heat up as fast as a dedicated griddle or offer as much cooking space. If you plan on cooking with a griddle often, go with a dedicated unit. 

If you don’t have a lot of space, you’ll want to pick a grill or griddle with a smaller footprint. Check out our selection of two-burner and three-burner grills and griddles to see what works best for your setup. Many people with small balconies or patios choose our Bistro Pro Collection, which includes tabletop grills and combo appliances.

Griddles are famous for their incredible versatility. Griddles can cook eggs, bacon, and pancakes for breakfast, sear steaks and veggies for dinner, and even make dessert. While grills are known for the classic char marks, griddles can be better for a consistent, even sear thanks to their flat surface.

The size of your griddle depends on your needs and preferences. If you’re cooking for yourself or your family, our Performance Series™ 28” 2-burner griddle delivers for you and your crew. Have a lot of hungry mouths to feed? Our Performance Series™ 36” 4-burner griddle serves a crowd with 700 sq. in. of cooking space.
