New Mojoe Griddle- I Need Unbiased Product Review
- Thread starter Camadile
- Start date
The discada @$249. including shipping includes the burner assembly. Under accessories, the disc alone is $85. Unless I am missing something, that is a huge difference. Also I could not determine the disc thickness. Overall I would prefer a thick flat surface.

WOW! You guys have been busy! I step away from the computer for a little while and look what happens! This is like the mother of all focus groups. I would probably have to pay a marketing company $20 grand to get this kind of consumer input.
Thank you all very much.
In my next few posts, I'll try to answer most of your questions and comments.
BTW, I'm uploading a new Mojoe video right now that I think all of you will get a kick out of.

Cam, you've probably noticed most of us around here are pretty shy and withdrawn, but we can occasionally come out of our shells for a good cause! ;D

Many of you have suggested that I offer an 18" griddle and I may just do that. Just to make it clear, the Mojoe Griddle works just as well on an 18" Weber as it does on a 22".
The three mounting bars welded to the bottom of the griddle are 8" long so that the griddle can be mounted on heat sources with smaller rims than the 22" diameter of the standard Weber. These heat sources include single burner propane stoves such as a deep fat turkey fryer burner or the standard two burner Camp Chef style stove as well as the 18" Weber. The Mojoe Griddle performs very well on highly centralized heat sources such as these because it is made with 1/4" hot rolled steel plate. This material is highly efficient in transferring heat from the center heat source out to the rim edge. Cast iron can't do that nearly as well.
Secondly, even a small reduction in griddle diameter drastically reduces the cooking surface area and one of my main selling points is a large cooking surface not available from anyone else. The 24" Mojoe Griddle has pi sq. ft. (3.1416 sq. ft.) of cooking surface. That's 452 square inches. An 18" diameter griddle would have only 254 sq. inches, a reduction in surface area of 44%!
Also, any bigger than 24", the Mojoe Griddle will not be able to be carried vertically (using one handle) because it will scrape the ground. The weight will also increase as the square of the radius. I think I am already at the upper limit as to the weight (35 lbs) that most people will comfortably carry.
A smaller griddle will probably be in the future because, from your comments, there is a market for it.

I like the 20 grand comment!
Seriously, for an electric smoker forum, this is by far (or most probably) the most active for a company run forum and although your griddle is not a smoker item, we do like stuff that deals with meat, heat, and eat. And most of own own equipment besides an electric smoker. And we have opinions and like to share.
Enjoy and happy smoking (girdling)!

Shipping costs:
Yes, they are significant and yes they will hold back some sales. Right now, I'm using an off-the-shelf double walled box 24" x 24" x 6" high. Because of the height, I'm using a lot of Styrofoam packing materials inside the box. Believe it or not, my total cost of packing materials is about $15. Shipping weight is 44 pounds.

New Mojoe Video: "The World's Fourth Largest Pancake"
OK, I promised you a new video and I just finished uploading it to YouTube. My son had a crazy idea for a viral video- He said why don't you make the world's largest pancake? I instantly thought it was a great idea but I thought "The World's Fourth Largest Pancake" would be more fun! So I set it up and we did it.
I haven't even had a chance to put a thumbnail image on it but I thought you guys should be honored by being the first viewers. Enjoy!

Hey Tony:
I had this diabolical plan in my head. Perform two epic fails before pulling out the the pizza spatula and nailing it. I actually did do two lame failures using normal spatulas (the video is still in the can) but for brevity I decided to leave them out.
I did nail the flip on the first try with the pizza spatula and I'm actually very proud of that. As you saw, there was a lot of pressure to do it right with all the people watching (plus I was out of pancake mix)!

Ha! I probably would have dumped half of it on the ground, even with the pizza spatula! Good job under pressure!
