I just ordered one based on your recommendation. I can see that I will be using it a lot.
Hey James, thanks for taking the time to check this out.
You are going to be sizzling up some awesome food real soon.
Actually cooking burgers on ours tonight!
Thank you for doing this review Joe! Very cool watching one of my buddies cooking on the ol' flattop! Cheers!!
+Ballistic BBQ Right On Greg. As soon as I saw your video I knew I had to lay down some cash and get me one.
It's been a blast to cook on, with many cooks in mind.
This is well made, bravo!
That Greg has Mad skills! Joe, you're on your way to being a griddle Master!
+BolognaRingRanch Greg has it going on for sure.
I am on my way somewhere, that's a given…
Thanks for watching BolognaBoy.
Great video Joe! I would order one, but I'm one of the few that own the original Ballistic Griddle, and I'm not ever parting with it! They are fantastic, and really open up a new world for cooking on the Weber Kettle! See ya soon brother!
+Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine Hey Rus, thanks for poppin' in.
I have been looking at flat tops for a while, and when Greg had this new one out I had to be sure to join the griddle party.
Have a super weekend!
Fantastic review Joe, that is one serious piece of gear! You sure demonstrated that over and over....nice food, sir! Good to see you again too, thanks for sharing! Thumbs up for sure.
+Rivet Gardener Greetings Rivet, thanks for giving this a look.
Have to say that I am very impressed with the Ballistic Griddle, it turns out some great grub.
Nice to be back in front of the camera too, hopefully more to videos soon.
Great review Joe McCool! You really threw everything at it, Greg has a winner here for sure. I ordered mine and can't wait to try it out.
+Tom's Test Kitchen Hey Tom, thanks for stopping in and checking out this review.
Indeed, I tried out a lot of different stuff to get a feel for it and the Ballistic Griddle cooked everything tossed on it.
You are going to dig this one!
That looks like a really high quality product. I'm a sucker for griddles.
That burger looks amazing Joe and those eggs turned out so good. Nice review of Greg's griddle. I'm thinking fajitas right now LOL
+FitAnge S Hi Angie, great to see you & thanks for taking a look.
Fajitas! Now you are talking!
You have a wonderful weekend over on your side of the planet!!
My man! Very nice review, you got new subscriber. The griddle is really good.
+Crazy Russian Thanks man, I appreciate your viewing and commenting.
This Ballistic Griddle is a nice addition to the Weber Kettle.
Ahhhhh !!! Killing me ! That looks so yum!!! Liked :)
+SASitTUBE The taste parade never ends!
Thank you so much for watching!
Definitely GEAR!!!! Great review Joe. You've got that baby seasoned up real nice. I love mine
+Smokes A Rollin These things are great Russ!
Have a super weekend dude!
Great accurate assessment of a great product Joe! Definitely must have Weber enhancement. I've had mine about a year, Webers for 30+ and love the Craycort cast iron! Craycort even makes "mirror" grill inserts so the grill inserts maintain same lines, yes I have those too. BTW your Midnight Expresso is amazing, also suggested by Greg at BBBQ.
Thanks for taking a look at this review.
The griddle gets a decent workout around here, did some thick cut pork chops two weeks ago and they turned out fantastic.
Super to hear that you are enjoying the Midnight Espresso!
Thanks for the great review, looks awesome!
Subscribed :)
Thank you for taking a look and leaving a comment.
Have a great summer.
That's definitely cool! Love the idea of griddling on the grill. I do cooking videos, too. Looking forward to following your channel!
+Joanie Simon Hi Joanie, thank you for checking out this video, glad you found my channel!
Definitely going to go check your channel out. Have a great weekend!
great review, think I might ask for this on fathers day
+doublejbbq Thanks DoubleJ, this was a fun one to do, and the eats were great as well.
Nice idea, a great Fanter's Day gift indeed!
Good review Tango. Looks like Greg has a winner there.
+Rashley's BorderQue Thank you, I appreciate your watching and commenting.
Yes indeed, the Ballistic Griddle is a quality item, looking forward to many more cooks!
Joe, I loved this review. First, I love your wood/coal stove. I cooked on one of those for years! Griddle cooking is new to me as well. I like the lip, as I am not graceful. :) Enjoyed the review. TFS :)
+Tess Cooks 4u Hello Tess - thank you so much for checking out this review.
The lip on the back of the griddle is a must for me as well, not a 'neat' cook at all here.
Been using Weber for 20+ years the Craycort with or without Ballistic griddle is amazing. Great review, I concur! Try Greg's tomahawk rib eye too, unbelievable on the griddle. First time griddle user myself my friend.
Thanks for stopping in and checking out this video.
Ya can't top a Weber for a great grill and the Craycort & Ballistic Griddle just add to the fun.
Hey Joe!…. awesome review for the Ballistic Griddle. Greg has a winner with this. At a 1/4" thick….that thing is heavy metal for sure. The thing about Stainless Steel is,… it gets hot and holds heat!
I like Your setup with the fire bricks! You Rock!….. Keeping it Metal!!!! \m/ \m/
+Heavy Metal Bar-B-Que Rock On!
You are right about the Ballistic Griddle being a piece of heavy metal - damn sturdy.
The fire brick works great with this, keeps the coals in place, holds the heat and when the oil drips on it there are no flare ups. The first time I did not use them and did have a little flare up.
Have a super weekend dude!
Awesome review! Great Griddle!
+Cheryl K (CherylsHomeCooking) Thank you Cheryl!
Have a great week.
Great review, Joe! I've never "griddled" before either. I've heard nothing but good things about this product. I already have the Craycort grates (love 'em) so I guess I need to purchase one of these griddles.
+Greg McCutchan Hey Greg, good to see ya here, thanks.
If you have the Craycort grills, you know about their quality already. Now they team up with Greg for the Ballistic Griddle and the quality is right up front.
You will totally dig this!
Looks like a great griddle Joe, I don't have a Balistic Griddle but love the brand I do have.
+Louisiana Cajun Recipes (007bondjb) Thanks JB.
Good thing that Ballistic Griddle came alone or I might still be a non-griddler!
I got my Craycort grill yesterday and I am waiting with baited breath for my Ballistic Griddle. I have a Kettle Q which was Okay, but this rocks. Looks like you broke this in good! Rock On Tango Joe!
+The Root Boy Cooks ! Right On Sal, thanks for taking a look.
The Craycort is a great system and Greg's Ballitic Griddle is a grand addition. You are going to really dig cooking on this.
Can't wait to see what you sizzle up!
New to your channel, T-Roy hooked me up.
Loved the okra fry.
Greetings Scott, thank you for stopping by.
Oh yeah, when we can get okra around here we snap them up!
Thanks for the tip of leveling the Weber. I wouldn't have done this before oiling the griddle.
Thanks Mike.
This was by trial and error, the yard here is not the most level.
I am definitely loving the ballistic griddle, might just have to order 2 for the weber. I love griddle cooking myself. I have worked in greasy spoons and 5 star restaurants. so I am good with it. I think the first thing I cook will be.................. pancakes.
+Galen Long AH - Pancakes! Perfect.
Do not know why it took me so long to get into griddle cooking.
Thanks for watching Galen.
Mine is on its way, can't wait to use it!!
How have you been enjoying the Ballistic Griddle?
I love it, will be using it a lot more this summer!
Excellent!
This video got the ol' wheels turnin', Joe! I'd better get with the program & order a Ballistic griddle soon!
+SmokeyGoodness Get on that MrSmokeyGoodnessGuy!
Looks like this is one instance where I got the 'Gear' before you did.
The Ballistic Griddle is damn well made, I can see many cooks heading its way real soon.
Awesome review and the griddle is very nice quality. I am going to order one and also the Craycort cast iron grates
Thank you very much.
Very pleased with this set up. I have had the Craycort cast iron set up for a few years, great unit.
The Ballistic Griddle was a great upgrade, dig using this.
Let me know how you like yours after a few cooks.
Thanks will do.
great review on that. you were really getting into it. I'll take some okra for sure
+No Hippie BBQ & Cooking Hey Lyle, I'll griddle up a heap of okra again soon. Had guests that day and all of them had not enjoyed okra before and said these were great. The magic of oil, kosher salt and Ballistic Griddle.
Thanks for watching, I appreciate your taking part in the fun.
so how did they cook
Johnsonville right here in Pa. Nice cook Joe.
Thanks LumberJack!
Used it again this past weekend, more great sizzling.
That's awesome love video's nice gear, you are awesome as well.
+Vanessa Harris Thank you very much Vanessa!
Hope that all is well with you!
Thanks for asking.
Thanks !
You're welcome.
Thank you for stopping in.
Great review Joe, so stinkin happy for Greg and his griddle...wonder if that thing will fit in mah air fryer?? hehe
+Booger500us Introducing the ActiGriddle, new from BoogerProductions!
This was fun and tasty, the Ballistic Griddle cooks up a storm!
hahaha you crack me up son
+Booger500us My life's ambition!
Kickass review, and its definitely gear.. Did you get it to fit without the craycourt in there? Cheers Joe!!
+This is Whats for Dinner Greetings Chad.
Indeed, this is a unit that should be part of everyone's gear. The BallisticGriddle will sit on the standard grill when the bars run left to right so the tab in the back sits down. It is heavy enough so it will not move around. Of course, it is designed for the Craycort cast iron, where it fits like a glove.
Thanks for watching man.
I must admit I've never fried an egg on a griddle either! Nice review!!! :-)
+Laurice's Kitchen Hi Laurice, thank you for stopping in.
Now that I have some griddle experience I can foresee many fun and tasty cooks.
This is a great piece of gear.
How do u remove the griddle when ur done using it, u can't lift it right off it would be too hot. How can I remove it and not get burned
When the griddle is hot, you can rotate the entire cast iron part and the griddle cools off in the opposite side.
You can also lift if off with a heavy pair of gloves. I keep some welding gloves around for moving hot BBQ items.
nice review
Thank you very much.
Nice review, but you forgot to show the griddle on the stock grates (you said you would in the video).
Good catch, I did miss that.
Looks like I will have to film an update.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Just found you, where have you been for all my life....lol...Great review Bro. Sub'd, will watch your previous vids and look forward to your new ones.
The Real JoeyB Dallas Fort Worth Texas
Hey Joey, thanks for taking a look.
Have a great weekend down in the Lone Star State!
I LIKE IT! I noticed about the oil moving over clearing the edge.... I wonder if a 2.0 version, if would be worth it to have just a slight lip at the center edge running across so it can keep things like the oil out of the fire and causing an unexpected flair up.
On the other hand..... flair ups happen anyway! :D
+GRUBDUDE Hey GrubDude, thanks for stopping by.
Cool idea about a perhaps a 'drain' of sorts, though I did manage to take care of any flare up problems by using the fire bricks to hold the charcoal bed under the Ballistic Griddle. Any oil that flowed over the front edge hit the bricks and vaporized.
+GRUBDUDE I usually keep the bulk of the charcoal against the inner wall of the kettle. The griddle really soaks up the heat so that's all you really need. If oil drips off of the front edge, there is nothing there to ignite it. The tolerances are so tight on the back (curved) side, it isn't an issue at all.
+Ballistic BBQ - GENIUS TECHNIQUE. :D
I don't have a BBQ grill in my arsenal but if I did I would want one of those griddles for sure!
+Richard Blaine Something tells me you are a griddle master already Richard.
Totally enjoying the Ballistic Griddle, many more sizzling cooks to come.
Thanks for stopping by!
Tango Joe
Well, maybe a little bit on those indoor grills I use but that is about it!
+Richard Blaine Indoors or out, you can cook up a storm!
Tango Joe
I take that as a great compliment from you brother! Thanks!
+Richard Blaine If you have a Gas cooktop in your house check out Little Griddle inc, I've got one & it works great on my BBQ grill or my cook top inside
Hey Joe I ordered my Ballistic Griddle over two weeks ago and nothing yet, they were out at the time though. Greg is the one who got me into BBQing years ago on my old channel of the same nameI love Rib Tips :-) That Asparagus looks great :-) Those peppers look excellent :-) e have the same exact Weber Kettle BBQ :-) I'm guess I'm going opposite as I will get the Craycort grill next :-) How long did it take to get your Ballistic Griddle? Dual zone heat :-) I hope to get mine soon :-) Great review on that "GEAR" :-) A "BIG" thumbs up :-) Have a great upcoming weekend :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!!
+MrMegaFredZeppelin MegeFred in the house! Great of you to stop in dude!
First off, I pulled the trigger on mine the day Greg's video posted so I think I may have been close to first in line. Got mine quick. I can imagine there could be a delay if the orders poured in.
You are going to dig it and it will be worth the wait.
Let your imagination go nuts, toss all sorts of stuff on the Ballistic Griddle.
Pancakes and Jimmy Dean are next on my menu.
Tango Joe Have a great weekend Joe :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!
Just got mine, how do you clean this thing??
I just pour some water on the hot surface and scrape it down.
It will keep some stains, but that is the 'seasoning' of the steel.
Mine works amazing after this much time.
Cheers.
Man oh man, Tango Joe .... makes me wish I had a Weber Grill.... Awesome!! ;-)
+BillGoudy Something tells me Bill that you would have this Griddle sizzling up over an open fire in no time.
Thanks for watching!
I was wondering about that... I wonder if I can make it work over the campfire... ??
+BillGoudy If anyone can, it's Bill Goudy!
Won't fit my gear, but looks like it cooks up some nice food.
+ArmadilloPepper.com The Ballistic Griddle sure did cook up some fine grub.
Thank you for watching this review, I totally appreciate it!
+ArmadilloPepper.com We're coming out with different sizes for kamados as well as rectangular versions for gassers. Hopefully they'll hit the market very soon.
Good to know. The rectangular is what we would need.
Anyone know where this thing is made, China, USA, Canada?
Craycort is based in Germany, though the griddle is farmed out to China.
Cooked up more griddle burgers this weekend, perfect crust.
Hey man, do you put the griddle on WITHOUT the Craycort sections under it or just leave em in place?
Greetings! Thank you for stopping by.
The Ballistic Griddle fits in the Craycort after you remove the two inserts.
Still cooking with this, always a great burger.
Thanks & subscribed!@@tangojoe9694
Any time. Merry Christmas.
Is that a Shirley Fabrication smoker in the back ground?
Yes indeed, it's a 24X65 cabinet model.
You in the Shirley Cooker Family?
+Tango Joe no sir, I am on a pro bbq competition team and follow Shirley Fab on Facebook and love their builds. Great videos by the way.
When the Cabinet Cooker was finished I went down to Alabama to pick ip up and tow it home.
The Shirley Team is a great bunch of folks, a real class act.
Burger looks tasty
Thank you so much!
Going to have to griddle you up some burgers real soon!
How do you clean it ????
After cooking on it I just scrape with a spatula.
A couple of times I have hit it with steel wool. Seasons up like a regular griddle nicely.
Thank you for watching.
Why not just get a piece of stainless steel metal and place it on your bbq.
did they taste good
Everything we have cooked on the Ballistic Griddle has been great.
Burgers like from a great burger joint.
Please note when it's a comical. It is common curtsy
+Gregg Ferrara Hello Gregg, thanks for watching.
Some parts of this video may be comical, but I am serious, this is a good piece of gear.
I love the griddles I have....this thing will replace them one day
+White Thunder BBQ Hey Nate, thanks for taking a look.
Since this is the first griddle I have owned, all I can say is it is great to start off with one that is so well made.
Sizzle On!
+Tango Joe yeah looks much nicer (thicker) than the ones I have. you're going to have to get yourself some egg rings or better yet pepper rings to cook the eggs in!
+White Thunder BBQ Indeed, this Ballistic Griddle is very heavy duty.
I hear you on the rings. I have a video up using the pepper rings too, very tasty.
I love your videos! Keep doing what you're doing! I make food videos too, my latest one was actually a grilling recipe ;) You should check it out!
Brooke
Thank you Brooke.
I will head on over and take a look.
Too hot for eggs.
You can use less coals, or have the coals under one half to control the heat to fry eggs.
We have done breakfast on this, bacon, eggs and matchstick home fries. Nothing like frying bacon outside to wake the neighbors.
Thank you for watching, and for leaving a comment. Have a great weekend.
Christ!! Everything cooked on a griddle looks so greasy. All the demos are focusing on the most unhealthy food. The fact is this thing can be used to cook veggies, etc.
Greetings Renee, thank you very much for taking the time to watch this video and leave a comment about how you feel.
No need to call me Christ, I am just a regular guy who enjoys burgers.
Yes, it is a fact that the Ballistic Griddle can be used to cook vegetables, which we do quite often, and does a darn fine job too.
The Ballistic Griddle is also great for cooking flapjacks, eggs, fried rice, grilled cheese sandwiches, spicy shrimp, hash brown potatoes, quesadillas, toad in the hole, welsh cakes, tamagoyaki, polenta cakes, scallops, griddled halloumi, crepes, lefse, carne asada, fried corn, naan bread, fritters, mofongo.
As you can see, a griddle is one versatile cooking utensil.
Have a wonderful & well seasoned 2020!
