Our take on the Char-Griller Flat Iron 4-Burner Gas Griddle

The Char-Griller Flat Iron is a freestanding four-burner gas griddle with a 775 sq. in. cold-rolled steel top and an enclosed lid. Its four independently controlled burners let you run different heat zones at once, and the folding cart, side shelf and wheels make it easier to move and store than fixed built-in griddles. It suits backyard cooks who want smash burgers, breakfasts and stir-fries for a crowd without a charcoal setup. Against rivals like Blackstone and Pit Boss, it offers a lid and a large cooking area, but owners report uneven heating and a heavier, more assembly-heavy build.

Questions and answers

Does the Char-Griller Flat Iron 4-Burner need seasoning?
Yes. The steel griddle top ships with a protective coating and needs to be cleaned and seasoned with oil before first use, then re-oiled after cooks.
How does it compare with a Blackstone griddle?
It offers a similar four-burner layout and a larger cooking area than many Blackstone models, plus an enclosed lid. Owners report more uneven heating than some rivals.
Can it be moved or stored easily?
The cart folds and has wheels, but at 118 lbs assembled it is heavy. It rolls on a flat surface but is not a portable griddle to carry.
Does it have a lid and side shelf?
Yes. It comes with an enclosed lid, a side shelf and a warming rack, plus a grease tray.
Is there a thermometer or side burner?
No. It has no built-in thermometer and no side burner, so you need a separate probe or infrared thermometer to check surface heat.
What can you cook on it?
Smash burgers, pancakes, eggs, stir-fries, fajitas and vegetables. The four zones let you keep food warm while cooking on another area.
