Anyone have one of these outdoor (or indoor, I don't care how you use it) griddles like the Blackstone? Basically, it's a propane fired steel griddle in various sizes - I have a 36". If you've ever been to a hibachi restaurant where they cook in front of you, basically one of those.
This is a place for sharing. What do you have, what do you like to cook on it?
I broke mine in this weekend with some fried rice, KC strip, and mixed veggies. It wasn't perfect, but it was damn good.
I'm thinking about doing some smashburgers this weekend, or maybe a big breakfast - bacon, french toast, hash browns. [Reply]
I'll agree with Red, that's a nice rig. That being said, I miss my metal spatula, it broke but it was about a 40 year old hand me down. Gonna half to pick another one up but I preferd the thinner blade.

Thanks. Does Amazon run deals on these? Your model looks to be $325 right now. [Reply]

They're normally $250-$299. I got mine on a Prime Day deal for $199. Price appears to be up right now because even Blackstone is out of stock on several models. [Reply]

How hard are they to clean? Does the grease and shit just come off the front or that hole in the back wall?
If you get it while it's hot (like while your protein rests), it's really easy to clean. Just some hot water, a scraper for anything stuck on, and re-season.
That hole in the back leads to a grease trap. We just pull that out and rinse it, then pop it in the dishwasher. The trap is pretty big, so it's good for like shrimp tails and whatnot, too. [Reply]

The version you're likely to find at Wal-Mart right now is slightly different. They have a grease trap on the right side and a channel in the front. So the larger pieces on that setup are a little more difficult to deal with but I prefer having that front channel to get grease into while I'm cooking.
He has the updated model that's been out for a month or so. For me personally that model would be a bit of a pain in the ass because the back of mine us up against the rail on my deck so the 'old' version was the way to go. I'd have to slide it out everytime I wanted to get to that grease trap. So depending on where you intend to set yours up, you may want to try to find the style with the right side grease catch and front channel. [Reply]
