Well you guys got me with your scrumptious breakfast and burger stories!!!

I ordered the 17" Blackstone Griddle from Wally World...$74 plus $4.44 for the governor shipped to my door. Delivery scheduled for Friday!!! Looking forward to getting it seasoned up and using on my deck. Then cooking those breakfasts at the CG with the aroma of bacon and potatoes/onions wafting through the air perking up the proboscis of the other campers!!!

Thanks,
Mike

Dear Mike,
I read your post and I didn't see any ribeyes or large pork chops so I used your credit card on Amazon and remedied the situation. They will be here the day after our Blackstone.
Your best friend,
Jeter (woof woof)

I bought the Blackstone "combination" Grill AND Griddle for around $210. last Fall. The darn stand itself is pretty heavy, but the grill and the griddle fit on it so easily. The thing has a cast iron burner for the grill, which will get hotter than hell if you want it to. And, the electric lighter works for BOTH units - and works flawlessly. Just m2cw.... love it!

Picked up a 17" from Walmart today for $74. Just have to figure out the connection to my hose.

Will stop by Ace tomorrow to get the right size brass fitting.

Bought one off Amazon for $59 last month. Used it about 5 times now. My first impressions: more commercial grade than I would have expected. Knobs and griddle surface are well engineered. It took several meals to really 'season' the cooking surface. It's definitely a grill contender with burger patties, veggies, sausages, and breakfast items. Purchased a dome cover and spatula kit to complete the ensemble. Last week, I made Philly cheese steaks on the griddle with absolute success.

The only thing I find that Blackstone can't compete with are the searing marks from a traditional open flame grill especially on something like a 1 inch thick cut ribeye. For me, it's not a grill replacement. It is, however, a versatile appliance that makes opens up more breakfast, lunch, and dinner ideas. A satisfying $59 spent.

My thoughts exactly. It is a super versatile cooking method that makes a lot of things really easy and kind of opens up possibilities that are hard using pots and pans on a stove. Now, my ribeyes, they will be on a grill. A flattop can cook them, and I've eaten lots of them from one, but just aren't the same as cooked over a fire.

Blackstone also makes a grill top for the 28" and 36" units. Take the griddle off, put the grill on, and cook your steaks the old fashioned way! I haven't gotten the grill top for either of mine, simply because i can't figure out an easy way of storing it...

One of the things I really like about the Blackstone griddle is that all the mess stays on top and you just clean "stuff" into the grease trap. The burners and area underneath with the H burners stays nice and clean. I would be afraid that putting a grill over the burners and using it to grill things with an open grate would degrade (and really dirty up) the inside of the very clean burner area. I think it's a cool idea and a way for them to maximize the versatility of the unit (thanks for the heads up - I was unaware) but I think I'm just going to have a dedicated grill.

I modified my 36" top. Welded a 3/4" lip all the way around the front, as well as around the drip edge. I drilled out the drip edge hole, and welded in a 3/4" black pipe nipple, and now I hang a grease bucket under it. Keeps any grease from draining down the leg and onto the patio. I don't have to worry about it being perfectly level either - the grease/fluids can't over-run the low drain channel edge now.
