    anyone here build a flat top griddle?

    Well, i finally got around to finishing the griddle!  Last week i cut the drain chute, got it welded up and bolted on, and made a holder for the drain can.  Only thing left to do (besides cook on it some more) is to order an ignitor. Until then, i light it with one of those long nosed lighters...

    anyone here build a flat top griddle?

      Ask and receive EJ! The first picture is of the superstrut iron i added to lift the griddle to 1 1/4 above the cabinet. It worked great to mount the griddle since it already had "breather holes" for the exhaust fumes.  I put the aluminum piece in front to keep as much heat from coming out...

    anyone here build a flat top griddle?

    Well, good for me, but i'm afraid there won't be much of a build to show pix of.  I found a new (damaged in shipping) 36" Blackstone cooktop unit with a broken griddle top.  Going to pick it up this morning. According to the measurements, my griddle plate should bolt right on in place of the...

    anyone here build a flat top griddle?

    Thanks EJ.  Story of my life- wrong place, wrong time,  day late, dollar short! I will take pix, and post them as i go.  I hope to get started again in the next few days, once this holiday weekend is over, all the visiting and company is outta here and i get things back to normal. (i need a...

    anyone here build a flat top griddle?

    Well, i didn't get the auction griddle.  It went too high. ($812.50 !!!!!!-and it was rough!) So i'll be back as soon as i get everything together and start the build.   And ill take pix as i go, so if anybody else ever needs some ideas on how (or maybe how not to--lol) build one. Thanks...

    anyone here build a flat top griddle?

    Ej, thanks for the info.  I really appreciate it! But, i putting off buying any burners or anything just yet.  There is a gas griddle coming up at an auction in about a week and i'm gonna try and get it.  That would be much easier to do (switch to propane) than to completely build one from the...

    anyone here build a flat top griddle?

    EJ, my griddle is 18d x 36w.  I was thinking of running the 3 H-style burners side by side.  My thinking on this, 12 inch burners would would fit front to back with more room than i wanted to spare, but i had thought about putting them closer to the back because i won't be using the front few...

    anyone here build a flat top griddle?

    There is a place in Nashville, Tn., called KG Machine www.kgmachine.com that can make a griddle plate any size you want, any thickness.  I spoke with Chris there a time or two before i found mine, i was thinking of having them make one for me.  Very nice people!

    anyone here build a flat top griddle?

    EJ, thanks for all the input! fabricating a flue would be something i could do, no problem, and i will plan on it, thanks!  The back is aluminum so it cuts much easier than the rest of the cabinet which is stainless. It won't be placed against a wall, or used indoors at all, it's for an...

    anyone here build a flat top griddle?

    ok, heres the pix, for what it's worth hope this works remember, the cabinet is sitting upside down on the griddle.  the slotted panel is the back side of the griddle cabinet- (and aluminum if i need more openings for air flow-easily cut). The rest of the cabinet is stainless...

    anyone here build a flat top griddle?

    EJ, I just did some measuring, and if the burners are U-shaped (like in the drawing you linked), i think 12 inch (length) ones would work and give me a little play room to adjust them forward or back and side to side to get even coverage. Will the fact that i'm using propane have any bearing...
