Great looking griddle and first cook!! Check out Todd Toven and CJ's First Cooking Show on YouTube for some good tips and recipes for griddles. CJ has a pizza slider on Kings Hawaiian rolls that I am gonna try once the weather clears.

Enjoy your new toy.

I've seen a video or two about this new Weber flat top, and looks like a solid unit. Don't you just love the feeling you get when you get a new cooker.

Nice cook and Happy Birthday!

Not too take anything away from the Weber and I have no idea what it goes for buttt.... Walmart still is selling the Blackstone 36" with hard cover for $279. That is a steal for a great, solid unit.

I did look at both units and chose the Weber. Cost is just one aspect. I would suggest you do your own research. I am not saying anything bad about Blackstone griddles, but I would not support running to Walmart, for anything….

Not disagreeing with you, I have both a camp chef griddle and a Blackstone and the Blackstone wins hands down. When I purchased either of them the Weber griddle was not even a rumor. If looking today it certainly would be in the mix of options.

Awesome gift... and the first meal looks incredible...

bacon is the best way to season a flat top

Sorry Chopsaw... but this is not true... You DO NOT want to season a new/refurbished griddle (or anything else) with bacon... The salt and cure in bacon is not good for a seasoning....
Always use oil/fat for the initial seasoning of a griddle...

The first minute or so of this video will explain
