I did omelettes this morning. Tomorrow, cheese steaks for lunch, shrimp and rice for dinner.

I want a monster black iron griddle to slide over my grill top. Something you could really sling some hash.

Them fajitas were top notch but there is no way the temperature was very high. I had it set on high but it didn’t seem all that hot.

Didn’t have a temp gauge to check it though.

Check to make sure all your burners were lit. I've read that can be a problem. I've also read that the regulator isn't great.

I’ll be buying my griddle in the next couple weeks. Can’t wait.

All the burners were lit. I will say the left two burners were hotter than the right two. I’ll have to buy a temp gauge.

I've had a little trouble getting mine to light consistently. I just replaced the regulator.

The top right corner isn’t even seasoned. It’s obviously not getting all that hot in that area.

I know when I first seasoned it the griddle was putting out some serious heat. 2nd time not so much. I’m trying again tonight with fried rice.

The most trouble I've had is that right burner.

Cheese steaks turned out well. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7a34709219.jpg

Get an IR thermometer for $15 on amazon. Make sure it has a range to at least 700 but you'll never hit that.

If you're not in/around at least 450 when you've got everything wide open for about 5 minutes, then you're having some issues. Adjust the air gates on the front of the bars to where you get the most steady blue flame possible (for me it was about 3/4 open).

And like I said - consider building a rig to block the sides off. You lose a ton of heat from the underside of the griddle, especially if you're in a breezy area. That's how I got into the 500+ range.

There's also a safety stop that sometimes kicks in if you have the bottle open or a burner on when you screw the regulator onto the propane. If you can't hear the burners pumping propane at full throat, there's something wrong. Turn everything off, disconnect everything, wait a couple of minutes and reconnect. It'll be fine.

And again - for some weird reason mine got much hotter once it was seasoned all across the griddle.

Yeah, it sounds like he's bypassed a regulator.

Take it off and shake the shit out of it. Make sure your bottle is all the way off. Reinstall the hose and then open the bottle slowly.

Is probably just shitty and weak

Buehler445 08-05-2018 11:20 AM

Yeah. It’s for if the product goes too fast like if a hose comes off or something.

We replaced the regulator this morning and have fired it up three times with no issues. I think the regulator is junk.

What regulator did you go with?
