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]

No more than any 4-burner gas grill would if you were using all 4 burners.
The regulator is a standard .5 PSI gas grill regulator so its fuel consumption is pretty much exactly the same. It puts the heat into the steel instead of ambient air.
Now if you do the mod with the 5 and 10 PSI regulators, yeah - you'll tear through fuel. And you're past the unit's operational guidelines so you're also burning fuel less efficiently (the air gates into the bars are only going to open as much as they'd need to efficiently run .5 PSI). So if you start pumping 3-4 PSI into those bars, you'll get more heat but you'll be running really rich and really inefficiently because even with wide open air gates at the front of the bars, there's only so much air that can be drawn through the opening.

My local Wal Mart had four in stock and now they have three. They’re priced at $247. I bought a five piece set of a scraper, two spatulas, and two squirt bottles. Now I need a cover and a few other things. [Reply]

Did you get a cover or anything? Would suggest you set something on the griddle to prop up the cover, especially when it rains. Found out yesterday the cover isn't especially waterproof, and water will pool in the griddle unless there's something creating a runoff slope. [Reply]

That's what I got, and it's pretty heavy duty. Just make sure you prop it up so rain runs off rather than pooling on the steel. I'm just using a milk jug right now. [Reply]
