Since we got a griddle (Grilla Primate) our Traeger and Vermont Castings LP get very little use. Griddles and sous vide make a mean pairing. Still times for the Traeger, VC grill has almost become a piece of yard art. One nice element of the Primate is you can set up 2/3 griddle and 1/3 grill or 100% grill or griddle. If we bought it first we would have never bought the others.
I spent years as a short-order cook. If I wanted to be standing over a griddle, I'd still be selling hot sandwiches.
You people and your blackstones - I don't get it.
