Blackstone Griddle

i got the 36 in for fathers day. I just finally set it up about 2 weeks ago.

man i loving it honestly. I have cooked burgers, breakfast and seared some sous vide steaks on it.

Clean up is easy and i prefer it over cleaning a couple pans any day.

There are a few flaws... the part where you scrape grease to is very shallow. First time using it, it came over side and hit my foot and burned me.

The hole where the grease drains to the grease catcher could have been designed much better.

Those small flaws wouldn't prevent me from buying it though.

I know I saw on here where someone had one. I am thinking about getting one for my birthday, but I only have room for the 28 inch version. How is it to clean? Do you spray PAM on the surface before using? Thanks.

Get one, they're awesome. I have one at my house, and one at our camp.

As long as you keep it well seasoned with oil, I've never had anything stick.

It is so much fun to cook on, and makes the best burgers hands down.

next thing i do is philly cheese steaks

going to thinly slice up some ribeyes

I just do a little before each time I use it. I scrub it good with some water and steel wool and then oil it up and season it. I haven't been cooking on it as often recently (like once a month) so I just re-season before each use.

If you're using it often I would say it's definitely not necessary.

I'd highly recommend the cover as the griddle will want to rust sitting outside

im reading the Campchef one is better. you can take the griddle of and put a great on for an propane grill.

Im getting myself one for christmas, so im doing ym research.

I've had one a few months and love it. Definitely get a cover for it. I seasoned mine following the directions, and it has been great. I put a thin layer of almond oil (very thick oil) and put the burners on full blast until it stops smoking. Did that twice the first time I set it up. Now just a little Pam or olive oil before cooking, then when I'm done I crank the heat up until any residue flakes off, then pour some water on it to steam it. Finish it off with a light coat of Pam on it and cover.

I do everything on it- makes great breakfast, hamburgers, chicken, even fried rice. This weekend I am hoping to get some Mahi Mahi or redfish filets and try them blackened on it. It makes cooking fun.

i bought a cover but with it being outside on my patio deck in Louisiana... i would think occasionally applying oil would keep it from drying and rusting

great thanks.

Get a (or a few) basting covers to be able to steam stuff and melt cheese on burgers

I bought the Blackstone cover for my 36. It was 29.89 on Amazon and came in yesterday.
Philly cheese steaks on on tomorrow's menu.
