Royal Gourmet PD1300 Portable Propane Gas Grill Griddle for Outdoor Patio Grilling, Includes PVC Cover, 3-Burner Tabletop Griddle for On-the-Go Grilling and Outdoor Adventures, Silver

Excellent portable gas griddle.

I bought this flat top last summer and it did a great job. I considered spending more for something that had a cart but I bought a big bbq mat for underneath it and just use a portable table. It's easy to clean the top just slides off.

Decided 3 Days before We left for a 2 Week Vacation in our RV We wanted a Portable Griddle in addition to the Standard Portable Grill we already had to more easily grill Scallops, Shrimp, Veggies, etc. Ordered this Grill and received 2nd day. Assembled it quickly but didn't have a 20 lb. Propane Tank to Test it out before we left. When we arrived at our Destination, we purchased a Tank. When I attempted to light it, it would not ignite. Being Older, I've had quite a few grills in my time and knew after 30 minutes I had a problem with the griddle. I called Joseph with Royal Gourmet. I truly appreciated his honesty! He told me they had received some griddles recently that had problems with either the Burners and/or the Regulators. Not many Companies are this Honest! They will give you the "Run Around" and maybe offer a suggestion, i. e., "Maybe you crimped the cord and you can get a regulator at a local Hardware Store and try that"! NOPE! Joseph apologized and at first said he would send me a new regulator as that had been the most recent problems. Then he said He would just send me both the Burner and the Regulator. Although somewhere the Regulator got left off the Service Order, the entire Burner arrived at our Campground via Fedex or UPS (Forget Which as We ordered several things during our Vacation). Having been in both the Corporate World and having had a Small Business, I realize Problems occur. But they way Joseph handled this on behalf of Royal Gourmet was exemplary! I want a Large Griddle for our Deck to supplement our conventional Grill. Guess where I'm going to Buy it? BTW, the Griddle now performs wonderfully! Piece of cake to put little Feet on Griddle. And if you set it on an unlevel surface, the Feet "Screw In" so you can adjust as necessary. Griddle Cooking Top is HEAVY As it Should Be! Cast Iron. I seasoned mine. Don't know if it was necessary but did it anyhow! Three Burners and can vary the Heat from Warm to Hot Individually! Great Product! Very good Price! And outstanding Customer Service!

So our grill arrived in 2 days. Well protected in the box with Styrofoam and cardboard corners. Assembly was straight forward. After placing the griddle on top I noticed the front left standoff was not going all the way down causing a wooble. The stainless flame guard on the bottom side of the griddle was resting on the stainless lip in front of the burners preventing it from going all the way down. Using a pair of channel locks I gently adjusted the lip and the standoff went down. Next I noticed the front bezel that holds the flame adjustment knobs was loose on the left top. Taking the griddle back off and turning it over I discovered a screw and nut were missing. I went back and checked the box and packaging but no luck. I found one in my garage inventory that fit and worked. The next issue was I purchased some Coleman one pound gas bottles only to find they do not fit. The hose only excepts a 20 pound tank. We purchased this grill to take tailgating at our daughters college 2.5 hours away. Not wanting to lug a 20 lb tank all that way. I found an adapter on Amazon that allows it to accept the one pound bottle. Today adapter arrived so we tested the griddle. Made some french toast and a few eggs. Griddle worked fine cleanup was easy. Saturday we will put it to the test doing the tailgating thing.

I wanted to use this griddle before writing a review and almost a full month of constant use confirmed my purchase. Customer Service was EXCELLENT when I ran into a small problem with the cooking bed. Set-up was so simple I couldn't believe how quickly I was able to be up and running.I haven't had any problems with sticking that one or two people mentioned because I watched a couple of You tube videos on how to season the griddle top before using it the first time. I think THIS IS A MUST! I have been cooking on it almost daily since it arrived. I even set a pot on one of the burners and steamed corn while cooking hamburgers on the other two. Yes a little of the grease can go outside the grease catcher but from my YouTube viewing almost all of them seem to have this same problem. Just remember to empty it and you should be fine.Last weekend I had a small gathering of 12 people in my backyard and was able to cook burgers made to order side by side and everyone remarked on how quickly it all went. Once you get the hang of things you learn to use the lower cooking spots to your advantage to keep somethings warm while cooking others (also what occurs with most griddles). As you continue to use it the seasoning from prior use seems to add flavor to new meals as you cook. Clean up is a breeze by just sprinkling a little water on it and wiping with paper towels then finishing with a little cooking oil. I especially wanted a counter top version that was easy to move so I could use it while camping. No cooking over a hot stove for me this summer and based on the convenience I may never go back to using my kitchen stove top. Best money you will ever spend!!

The shape of our 2nd floor deck, combined with all of the stuff on it left little room for a 4 or 5 burner Blackstone. But I definitely wanted something that worked well and would fit. After a ton of research, we decided on this.It works great, looks good, and after we paired this with the Royal Gourmet PD2300L Hard cover and a GRIDMANN 36 x 24 Inches Stainless Steel Kitchen Prep Table with Backsplash & Under Shelf, it was perfect! It heats up quickly, is easy to clean and store and the price was excellent.

I have a Blackstone, sure it's great ,but I love my portable grill great for camping or just using it on my porch
