Got a 36 inch griddle on the way. What are your tips, tricks and go to recipes for the outdoor griddle? Looking forward to using this thing when it comes in.

I love mine. I like to do venison smash burgers. And toasted breakfast sandwiches and burritos.

Tacos. Made tacos for everyone at work last week.

Lots of good stuff here

I love cooking breakfast on mine. Scrambled eggs and pancakes.

There is a ton of griddle content on YouTube and Facebook.

This guy's channel is really good.

Also, make sure to do a good job seasoning the top and keeping it oiled and covered. The few extra minutes of care will pay off.

I used this video as a guide:

Quesadillas, pizzas, smash burgers, breakfast (pancakes/bacon/etc) are the usual go to items

I cook on ours almost exclusively when we're camping. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Get several large spatulas. They work well for moving things around and keeping eggs where you want them.

I cook a pound of bacon first every trip. Not too hot. Let the fat cook in.

My #1 tip: Clean it when you're finished. Don't wait until later or tomorrow. Get a good metal scraper.

Chicken fried rice with a hibachi show.

Don't hit any human mouths. The dogs are the real winners.

Love mine. I actually downsized from the 36 to the 24 camping black stone. Made burgers yesterday. You can make a heck of a breakfast on those. My biggest fault is not using it enough which occasionally allows it to rust a little.

Don't use too much oil when seasoning. It doesn't take much, and overdoing it will create thick spots where the seasoning doesn't hold. Much better to do several very fine coats

Do these offer anything more than does a nice sized cast iron skillet on a gas stove? Seems like a nightmare to clean.
