I don't know what the other reviewers are talking about when they are upset that the griddle didn't come assembled. Really? You think they ship this thing in a box with its legs already on?
Anyway, as far as the griddle goes, it's awesome. It took me about an hour to season it for the first time. I rubbed on some shortening and put the burners on full blast (as directed). The oil/shortening helps give it the nice "grandma's cast iron" color and helps to provide a non-stick surface. The initial coloration of the grill is kind of greenish (I added some pictures above) but as you season the grill with the oil and scrape around on the top of the griddle during the seasoning process, all of that goes away and the nice dark black color comes through. This griddle is HUGE! Again look at the pictures that I've added and you'll see that even with 18 burgers and a couple dozen dogs, I've still got PLENTY of room left.
I love the griddle and would highly recommend to anyone.
Happy Grilling!!

I purchased this exact griddle at Lowes for $299. It did not come with any other accessories except the two built in side tables that easily attach/detach with a single screw that conveniently turns with your fingers. I found the burners to be adequate but not as even as I prefer. It cooks fairly evenly which is usually a problem with a griddle of this size so it is an improvement on most large griddles.
The square metal tubes that funnel the gas from the first lit burner to lite the next were not constructed or cut properly by the manufacturer so I had to bend and hack-saw because it forced the assembler to install the burners unlevel which diminishes performance. It CLEARLY was a flaw that the assembler at the manufacturer should have remedied. The cast iron griddle is very heavy and works great. It does have some imperfections (pits and welding bumps) that are not ideal for a smooth flat cooking service. Overall, I would still buy it unless I found a better rated and equally priced product by a competitor. I wouldn't pay more than the $299 that I paid for mine.

At first I was excited about my new cooking griddle. But when I took it out of the shipping crate I found it was not completely assembled. The fourth burner was laying in the box. It would not fit. Someone had tried to assemble it but could not. So in the true style of American Mfg. tradition they simply threw the whole mess into the box and shipped it anyway. Had I not had a life time of factory work under my belt I dare say it would have been shipped back so some other sucker would have to deal with it. I managed to rework the burner and replace the "jimmied" phillips head screw that holds the burner in place. I would not reccommend the purchase of this grill to any novice that dosen't have the tools or know how to deal with such sloppy, inferior workmanship. Al Baker, Bowling Green, Kentucky
