Anyone have one? There will be a learning curve on cooking with it. Can’t wait to try it out!!

Not much of a learning curve hardest thing is keeping it clean. Invest in some grill bricks. There's a pretty long thread on them here.

I have a griddle that covers 2 burners on my camp chef. The learning curve is very small. It makes awesome eggs and bacon. Once it’s broken in, it’s great for blackening fish.

Start with bacon as the first thing to touch it. shite loads of bacon. Enough bacon for the whole neighborhood. Just tons of bacon.

Best way to season it really well.

Great for breakfast, bacon, sausage, French toast. Also fajitas with onions and peppers, tortilla warmer. Hamburgers, fried rice, blackened fish. Very good and quick for large groups. Can be a 2 person job with different foods needing to be flipped etc.

Also buy a flat thin metal putty spreader or whatever it’s called. It’s about 8 inches wide. After you cook burgers, bacon or fajitas you can scrape the residue off to keep it from burning and smoking and charring the next batch you will cook.

The learning curve will be your temp settings and identifying the hot/cold spots, if you're cooking delicate things on there where temp and time are critical.

It's a good idea to have a couple of these grill scrapers:


But this is better for scraping:


Online or local restaurant supply are both good sources.


For cleaning, forget the grill bricks. This is all you need to clean a flat top griddle:

Stainless Steel Scrubber


Bucket of soapy water

Getting a Blackstone for father’s day. Family of 4, should I get the 28” or 36” griddle?

My mother in law got me a 22" or 24" Blackstone for Christmas. Was skeptical.

Love it. I assume they are similar. If they are....

No learning curve. Just season it.

I seasoned mine with vegetable oil. Then cooked bacon on it. Then burgers. After that the thing was practically non stick.

Def recommend good scraper and spatula like others posted.

Can do anything on it now. My family loves when I do hibachi rice on it.
