360° Griddle Outdoor Cooking Center (CGG-888)

A 22-inch round flat-top griddle cooking center with two 15,000 BTU burners (30,000 BTU total) and a vented stainless steel lid.

$350Approx. MSRP

Good for someone who wants an outdoor griddle centerpiece for entertaining, but not ideal if you're worried about grease mess or want a hinged, easy-to-manage lid.

Pros

  • Well-built and sturdy overall construction that most owners find attractive
  • 360-degree cooking surface is flexible for griddle, grill, and stir-fry style cooking
  • Easy to clean after use
  • Easy on the wallet ($350)
  • Built to last (carbon steel griddle top, stainless steel lid)

Watch-outs

  • Grease management is poor without extra accessories
  • Runs very hot (up to 700°F), which can be hard to moderate for delicate foods
  • Lid has no proper storage position while cooking
  • Tight cooking area (380 sq in) — small batches

Known niggles

  • Burner control knobs reported to wear out and need replacing after repeated seasons of use
  • No lip around the griddle edge, so grease can run off onto the patio or floor
  • Lid isn't hinged and has nowhere to rest, making it awkward to manage mid-cook
  • A minority of buyers report the unit stops working reliably within about 6 months
