Me and the mrs have decided to double the size of our outdoor kitchen area and add a pizza oven. But i'm getting rid of the huge gas bbq and getting a plancha grill instead...

does anyone use a plancha grill and what do you think of them??

So a plancha grill is the same as a griddle? Or is there a difference that I’m not seeing?

I,m no experts ,but a Plancha should get hot enough to put pots/frypans on
In a commercial kitchen scenario.
Thats what I assume about them
Blackstone on steriods

Nope a plancha is just a flat top grill, just like a blackstone. I posted a picture above. Yiu have to remember I’m in the UK not America and we may name things differently to you.

Not 100% as a griddle in the uk isn’t flat....it’s griddled, aka like a cattle grid...

Not sure what you call them in the US
 
Plancha is a flattop here, but I've only seen the name used in reference to restaurant equipment, so table-sized.
Blackstone is the big name in the portable type griddle you have there. Plenty of threads on those here by that name.
 
I'm in the contemplation stages of a large outdoor kitchen. I am thinking for my outdoor flat top griddle, or plancha as you call them, I'm going to go with a restaurant grade unit. The Blackstone's, camp chefs and what you show above are great for 3-5 years max. After that they are pretty wore out. I want something that will still perform and look great after 10 years. Just something to consider, may not apply to what your doing.

check out Sam the Cooking guy's channel. He uses what seems to be a high quality outdoor Plancha and it seems to get the job done. Looks expensive though.

Have to be honest the plancha above is on sale at 130bucks......restaurant grade is around 1k over here, I’ll stick with the one I posted and if it does last 2/3 yrs I can have 8 new ones compared to restaurant grade
 
Webstaurant Store is one of several commercial kitchen stores where you can shop online. This page is for their Teppanyaki grills. There are two models that are LP or gas. Looking over the site, most of the flat tops that are drop-in run on electricity.

You might consider a mix of LP and electricity to get the best outdoor setup.
