- Does the lid make it usable as a covered cooker?
- Yes. The enclosed lid holds heat and steam, so you can melt cheese, finish thicker foods and keep cooked items warm. It is not a sealed oven, so it will not bake like a grill with a tight chamber.
- How many people can it cook for?
- The 28-inch surface with three burners handles a family meal in one pass, such as burgers plus onions, or a full breakfast of eggs, bacon and pancakes. Larger crowds may need two rounds.
- What do I need to run it?
- A standard propane tank and a level outdoor spot. It is a cart-style griddle, so plan for storage space and a cover for wet weather.
- How do I keep the top from rusting?
- Season the steel with cooking oil before first use and re-oil after cleaning. Keep the lid closed and use a cover when it sits outside.
- Is it better than a gas grill?
- It is better for flat-top foods like smash burgers, breakfasts and fried rice. A gas grill still wins for steaks with grill marks and for rotisserie-style cooking.
