Why the Char-Griller Flat Iron® Griddle Stands Out

When it comes to outdoor cooking, not all griddles are created equal. Char-Griller Flat Iron Gas Griddles combine thoughtful design, powerful performance, and features you won't find on most competitor models making it the perfect tool for everything from breakfast to burgers. Let's break down what makes it different.

The Flat Iron flat-top griddles are designed to add convenience and versatility to your outdoor cooking experience, allowing you to easily cook everything from pancakes and burgers to stir-fries and fajitas.

Built-In Wind Guards: A Feature You Didn't Know You Needed

Griddle cooking is all about evenly distributed heat and consistent results, but many griddles struggle when outdoor conditions aren't perfect. The Char-Griller Flat Iron Griddle solves this problem with integrated wind guards around the burners and a full tray underneath that blocks wind from coming up under the burners. These simple but critical features block gusts of wind from disrupting your flame and heat distribution, delivering a more consistent cooking experience.

Many competitor griddles leave burners exposed, meaning inconsistent heat zones and lost cooking time every time a breeze kicks up. With Char-Griller's built-in wind protection, you get a stable cook surface, faster recovery times after flipping food, and more reliable results every time you fire up the griddle.

Understanding BTUs: Why Power Matters

BTU stands for British Thermal Unit, and it measures how much heat your griddle can produce. Higher BTUs mean your griddle heats up faster and maintain high temperatures needed for searing, frying, and more.

However, BTUs aren't everything. Combined with wind guards and a heavy-duty cooking surface, the Char-Griller Flat Iron ensures that heat stays where it's needed, giving you:

  • Faster preheat times.
  • Consistent searing.
  • Better fuel efficiency.

In short: Higher BTUs + smarter design = better backyard results.
