I moved mine from home to our camp and cook breakfast on it when we’re there. Keeps the kitchen clean and all the adults can hang out on the deck while the cooking takes place.
If you don’t like it that’s fine, we all like different things. Especially when they aren’t spending my money to do it.

Wiping down the counters isn’t that big of a deal and a vent hood and proper temperature control solves the smoke and smell issue.

I get the griddle thing.. I don't have one but I have an electric skillet that's great.. A friend has a Blackstone and the griddle is all rusted over.. People don't realize there is a clean up procedure that HAS TO BE DONE AFTER EVERY USE!!!

Yep
Keeping it clean and seasoned can be a challenge, but you just need to do it right after you’re done cooking

Probably great for frying crispy bacon, or other things that smoke up the kitchen.

Philly Cheesesteak - griddle
Fajitas - griddle
Caprese Flank Steak - griddle/grill
Bacon & Eggs for 10 - griddle
Burgers - griddle/grill

Sautéed Vegetables - griddle

Self proclaimed semi professional chef here. The black stone and grill together are my go to for most cooks. Great finisher on grilled things as you can really candy a sauce on a griddle. Great for way fewer dish creation. Stir fried rice, dishes using pre cooked pasta and starch, can get a nice even sear on par boiled potatoes. Cooks a lot fast. Outstanding for breakfast, panini type sandwiches. I’ve even mage jambalaya with rice already cooked in broth, 10 out of 10.

Let your friend have his pride and joy. Who the hell are you to tear that down? There are probably things that you like and are into that your friend thinks is dumb but I bet he doesn't try to tear you down for it.

They are great for cooking a lot of food.
It is superior at certain thing, hibachi is one of them.

It's super easy to put a griddle pan over a grill and get all of the same cooking abilities.
You can not add a flame to a griddle.

Was there a thread like this on the Big Green Egg?
Posted on 6/20/26 at 12:02 pm to Slippy
I don’t want to cook outside in the Louisiana summer.

Blackstone is great for when you want to blackened something and not smoke up your house or do a hibachi night or make a huge breakfast. But yeah I do most outdoor cooking on my egg. But I have a lot of useless outdoor cooking things like a pizza oven.

Bought the one that folds up a couple years ago and used it a few times to go camping then sold it. I didn’t get the hype. You have to really keep it oiled and rely on spices alone to season your food, you get no smoke or char like a pit gives.
I ended up getting a pellet smoker with WiFi instead, and use it twice a week at minimum. I like cooking low and slow anyway and not having to be standing over a griddle constantly.
And in the event I do want to cook steaks high and fast over flame, I have a basic Weber pit.
I guess it really depends what you wanna do. If you’re mostly cooking hibachi, breakfast, and smash burgers then a blackstone is for you.

Steaks are better on the blackstone.
Even better after sous vide. I use my griddle to sear several at a time. Also can cook asparagus or broccoli and caramelize onions at the same time.
Just one or two steaks, cast iron skillet
I use my griddle pretty regular, smash burgers being a favorite

That and no matter how much you season and cover it, moisture will find its way onto the cast iron. That’s the only downside for me and having to clean the shite out of it and reseason after every cook
Yep.
I’ve got one. Cooked on it all the time for about 2 months now it’s just sitting there rusting. Got tired of cleaning it and babying it and it still rusting between cooks. I haven’t used it in 2 years now. Need to throw the thing in the dumpster.
