Griddles and flat top grills have exploded in popularity in recent years - and for good reason!

These cookers provide the ultimate versatility in your outdoor kitchen.  On the same cooking surface, you can sear a restaurant quality steak, sauté veggies, or cook a pancake and bacon breakfast.

A built-in griddle can hold it's own as the centerpiece of your outdoor kitchen - or it can be a perfect complimentary piece to your grill or outdoor pizza oven.

We carry all of the top built-in griddle brands on the market!  Each of the griddles we carry offer excellent consistency and heat distribution for an outstanding cooking experience.

Griddle vs Flat Top Grill - What's the Difference?

You might be wondering what the difference is between a griddle and flat top grill - after all, they seem quite similar and cook food in the same way as one another.

Adding to the confusion, even some manufacturers use the terms interchangeably even though they are technically slightly different from one another.

The main difference between the two is burner shape.  Flat top grills use circular shaped burners whereas griddles use linear or U-shaped burners.

Functionally, there is not a huge difference - hence the reason why many customers and folks in the industry mix the two terms.

Griddle Fuel Types

The most common fuel types for griddle cooking are natural gas and propane - which make sense because often times, a built-in griddle will be installed next to a grill that runs on the same fuel type.

However, you can also find electric griddles, which use electricity to heat electric heating elements similar to those you'd find in an oven or an electric grill.

Why Built-In Griddles?

You just can't beat a fully integrated built-in outdoor kitchen.  Having your griddle set into a countertop means you'll have the ultimate convenience and practicality when you cook.

Griddles provide a particularly sleek look because the cooking surface often sits at a similar height to your countertops, so from afar it truly gives off an integrated look.

How Much Do Built-In Griddles Cost?

Generally speaking, an entry level built-in griddle will cost around $1,500 and a flat top from luxury brands can cost $5,000 or more.
