My aging Weber grill finally met its demise last summer. And when I tell you my family I got the most of that grill, we got the absolute most out of that grill. But when it came to choose a replacement for this upcoming season, we decided to gamble with the flat-top griddle trend, and try out the Traeger Flatrock instead of a traditional grill.
A flat-top griddle, popularized by the likes of Blackstone, features a metal plate with no grill bars. They come in a variety of sizes and prices, with some being small enough for a countertop and others like the Traeger Flatrock ($899 at Home Depot) taking up as much space as a regular grill.
