What we liked

  • + Four independently controlled burners give four heat zones on a 36-inch Omnivore plate with built-in wind guards.
  • + Electric push-button ignition, rear grease management and caster wheels are listed for simple use and movement.
  • + Built-in hood protects the surface between cooks, and folding plus extendable side shelves add prep space.

Trade-offs

  • - A 36-inch griddle takes a lot of patio space and needs its own propane supply.
  • - A flat-top does not give grill marks or smoke flavor, so it complements rather than replaces a grill.
