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 still recommend going with the Covermates Ultima.
It's about $100 for the right size but holy crap they're amazing. I've had the one on smoker for probably 6-7 years in direct sunlight and elements all season. Worst I've seen is some fading and that's not even the ultima.
The ultima has the dyed poly so it shouldn't even fade and with the double seams and everything it's just damn near indestructable. I really like 'em but they are definitely on the pricier side.
I got the 60 inch model to give plenty of clearance for the side tables; you could maybe get away sizing down one but it didn't seem worth the 7 bucks to find out:

I’d try it but it’s $100 and most of the griddle will be under my roof anyways. At least out of the rain. [Reply]

I think just once. Then I cooked in oil for the next couple of uses and seasoned after every cleaning. It really seasons itself on the fly pretty well [Reply]

I have this problem as well. I think I'm going to spray the inside of the cover with Flex seal [Reply]
