@Tuberoller as promised, here is the first cook on the griddle
Placed the griddle over 1 chimney worth of coals and the temp climbed up to 400 within few minutes. The IR thermometer is very helpful when using something like this for the first time. It helps tell what temp the griddle is running, but also helps identify cooler spots for moving things when fully cooked.

I like the griddle temp to be around 375 degrees; it's the perfect temp for variety of food. When it reached 400, I placed the burgers and sliced mushrooms. I figured the temp will drop a little once the cold food hits it

Added onions and peppers

And thinly sliced Ribeyes

The griddle pairs well with the Performer, since the Performer cart is perfect for having ingredients near by :)

Added smoked Provolone cheese to the burgers

And tomatoes

And the cooking was done, onto assembling the sandwiches

Placed a pepper ring on the burger and filled with onions and mushrooms

Topped it with the thinly sliced Ribeye

And then the grilled tomatoes

And the Big Philly Burger was ready :)

I was really impressed with the griddle. It cooked evenly and cleaned up easily.

I think the thickness of it helped in maintaining even temp and prevented food from getting scorched. It was definitely worth the money and fun to cook on. I'm definitely going to use it often :)
Looks great! It's funny I just posted on your other post to grill up some burgers...then I saw this. :D
I want a Philly cheese now. Looks good!
Sauce
ok, just showed the wife the grill in the other thread and these cook pics and she says save 25 clams a week and order one.
that is a great cook
Wow, great first cook on the griddle! The burger alone would have been a great post, but on the griddle, with the steak A+ all the way!
That looks fantastic. Good stuff. I bet if tasted as good as it looked.
Looks good. I received mine this week and am planning cheesesteaks tonight.
Thank you All!! :)
