    Weber Slate Griddle Review: Built Like a Tank

    May 15, 2025
    Weber isn’t new to flat-top cooking. They’ve offered griddle inserts for their gas and charcoal grills and dabbled with a more bare-bones griddle, leaving us underwhelmed. With the Slate, Weber has come in guns blazing, targeting backyard cooks who want more than just a hot slab of steel. I’ve spent time cooking on the Slate…

    Weber Griddle 28” Review: How Does the New Weber Griddle Stack Up Against the Competition?

    May 4, 2023
    Since we wrote this review, Weber has come out with the Slate range of griddles. Available in 28″, 30″, and 36″ (which we review here), it’s a much more premium griddle.
