Blackstone griddle

[Dicky]

Owned this a week and cooked 3 meals on it so far. Chicken fajitas Friday (Don’t mind my retired buddy, He has a magical power that ensures his eyes are always closed in pictures) and Smash burgers today! I absolutely love this thing!

Glad you are enjoying it buddy.

We have a 36". Haven't used the gas grill since we bought it. Lots of smash burgers. Steaks and hibachi dinner are also winners

I forgot to take pics again but I cooked something that I haven't eaten in 30 years. Bacon flavored Spam. (Of course 30 years ago they didn't have different flavors.) It was pretty tasty.

Are you still liking that blackstone?

I’ve had mine for a little over a year. When the weather is nice, I cook on it 2-3 times a week.
It’s just so damn easy to cook a really good meal with minimal effort.

I did this last week with Cajun seasoning for fajitas.
It didn’t suck.

Been slacking and haven’t cooked on ours in about a month.

Yep, Haven’t really taken more pics. Just did burger and hot Italian sausage on it Saturday.

I've been curious for a while. I always start cheap when it comes to this stuff. I figure if I can have fun and turn out great grub on the bare bones units, I'll feel spoiled when I upgrade. Got one of the new two burner 28" Char-Broil units last week. It was on sale at their site and with 10% off and free shipping it was $161 to my door. The stand is predictably shïtty, but the cook top is solid with a decent lip for wind protection. Since laying four layers of polymerized canola on it I've used it every day. Hash Sunday morning, a scramble on Monday. There is a local burger place that does potatoes on their flat top with nacho cheese and sour cream. I pretty much nailed those last night. Tonight will be smash burgers. I'm making a stainless lid for it today or tomorrow to keep the cottonwood fuzz off of it.
This was after just the seasoning. It's pretty much black corner to corner already. I have about a five foot overhang at this spot on the deck, so it should be fine living here.

If you’re having problems with dirt and bugs getting on your griddle surface, even with a hood and cover, look at getting a silicone griddle cover. I ordered this one from Amazon. They run the gamut from really cheap to stupid expensive. The one I ordered was upper middle in the price range ($35). It does a great job of keeping the griddle surface clean.

I thought about getting one. The biggest problem I'm having now is something getting into the grease trap. I've found it on the ground and the foil liner chewed up several times. I've seen a couple cats around here. I assumed it was them. Early Saturday morning I went outside and saw a big raccoon running through the yard. I think that's the culprit. I'm going to set my live trap this weekend.

Coons like cashews. Just be sure to not set till just b4 dusk or some other kind of tree rat might get to them first.

I put the grease trap inside, under the hood, when I’m finished cooking.
I’ve had possums and coons in my smoker before. Had to fence in the base with chicken wire. A pissed off coon covered with grease is no fun.

I did think about doing that but just didn't go back out and do it.

Kids got me the “on the go” little one. Wish I had the larger one, but it does have the room to cook for 6. I just can’t keep multiple dishes on at once.

Bought a 25lb to portable LP tank converter off Amazon and haven’t looked back. The thing is an absolute joy to use.

Do you cook with the hood down?

Do you cook with the hood down?

Right, should be open unless melting cheese real quick.

A western NC favorite, Hunter's brand Livermush for breakfast.

Do you cook with the hood down?

Not usually. Can’t remember why I was holding the top at that time.
