Blackstone types griddles really shine at breakfast time. I used the crap out of the 36 inch one I have at the lake this weekend. Pound of bacon on there and a dozen french toast.

Get one of these for eggs, you guys will thank me latter.



Chicken, steak, and shrimp fajitas on it tonight.




Get a carrying bag, have one for my 22 inch, love it.

Well, I've cooked on this thing about 6 times now. Did breakfast a couple times, fried rice, fried noodles for sweet/sour pork, burgers and mushrooms and onions for a steak topper. Love this thing! Nothing sticks and it takes about 2 minutes to scrape clean while it's hot, then give it a light coat of canola before I put it to bed. Highly recommend!

Has anyone seen a black stone with a side burner? Sure would be handy for a lot of things.

I like mine buddy.

I have the 28" "Adventure Ready" model. Legs fold up so it is somewhat portable. Take it camping when we do the annual Jellystone trip.

Love it for breakfast, burgers, steaks, basically anything. Done everything from wild turkey, asparagus, green beans, venison, to reverse searing a tri-tip I pulled off the Traeger. Real versatile. East to clean. Kinda bulky though.

Said I'd get rid of my propane grill, but haven't yet.

I love waking up early on a weekend and dumping a pile of hashbrowns, eggs and bacon on it and feeding the family. Or having friends over and doing a bunch of dogs, brats, burgers, and veggies.

They make a rig to do pizzas on it. My brother has that and loves it.

Don't think it's technically "cast" iron but you treat it the same.

Blackened Tbones and green beans

A friend has one a lot like Flicker Shad's. She made burgers and fried potatoes and they were great. Next time I brought duck and she made a stir fry with her garden veggies...that was fantastic. She's religious about cleaning and oiling/seasoning the griddle

Hers also has an air fryer

Thanks

When I do a reverse sear steak I sear it on the Blackstone. It does it perfectly

First cook should be a huge pile of onions. There are some pretty good videos on why onions.

I have the Adventure 22. It is the perfect size for us and I like that it has a detachable stand. We use it mostly for breakfast. You can make a lot of good food fast on one. Mine will be frying up eggs, bacon, sausage, HBs, etc tomorrow morning in a parking lot at Jack Trice stadium!

Since we got our Pit Boss 17" in early July, we have cooked virtually every meal and honestly had a blast doing it. Steaks of all types, thicknesses, and sizes were done to perfection using a probe thermometer. My wife bones out chicken thighs and we put them on a hot griddle skin side down so the skin get nice and crisp. I make the smashed potatoes in bulk so we always have some leftover for breakfast or whatever the next meal may be. I "toast" the potato skins a little before smashing them and it adds to the flavor. I always use real butter with the potatoes mixed with a little avocado oil so the butter does not burn. We've made pizza, shrimp, Naan Bread, stir frys of all kinds, Bratwurst, and every breakfast combination I can come up with. Everything has been great and very easily done.

We bought the smaller griddle because it is just the two of us plus it fits in one of the outside compartments of our motorhome. We just got back from a week-long trip up on the shores of Lake Superior and we did not even take our gas grill. We bought a big, thick Ribeye for Sunday, our 40th Anniversary, and it was done perfectly using the probe thermometer.

For clean-up I scrape off the big chunks then give it a couple squirts of water, moving the boiling water across the hot griddle using the scraper. I usually do that twice. Then I move all the water, etc. into the grease trap and let the griddle dry good. A light coat of oil and it's done. I have never had anything stick while cooking.

I have a large gas grill I have used to cook on year round for several years. It needs some replacement burners, etc. The cost of fixing up the old grill is higher than the cost of buying a larger, covered griddle for strictly home use, so the gas grill is going out for the scrappers this weekend. I have grilled a lot and very successfully for decades, but there's nothing I can't do with the griddle. It has been more fun making better food than I ever imagined it would be.

"May your griddle never cool!"
