Suburban Griddle

[kipkohl]

To those who have removed the regulator on their griddle to avoid the double regulator issue when running off the trailer’s pre-plumbed outlet, have you experienced a noticeable improvement in the griddle’s performance?

Not as much as I expected. I ended up giving the Suburban to a friend and purchased a 17" Blackstone. I am much happier now.

I think it helped mine a little bit. Or it may just be confirmation bias. If you have the pieces to put it back together just remove it and see how it works for you. Doesn't seem to hurt not having it.

In previous posts, the Blackstones seem to be universally praised

Thanks for the replies. I noted a while back that the trailer’s regulator is rated at 11wc and the griddle’s regulator is rated at 13wc, so I assumed the regulator on the griddle wasn’t really doing anything in this situation: JB’s and jimmarako’s replies seem to support this.
I’m not much of a griddle user, so I don’t think I’ll mess around with removing the regulator or replacing with a Blackstone at this time. Perhaps running it off an un-regulated 20lb bottle could improve the performance a little.
I appreciate the replies, thank you. This site has been a wealth of information for us.
