Landrover Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 My wife and I were at Gander outdoor the other day. They were havingĀ a 25% off everything in the store. we were looking to replace our 15 yr old Weber Q grill. Ā Love that grill. I saw the Black Stone 17in griddle. We decided to give it a try. Cost was about $67.00 of course we had to get the griddle kit and and the carrying case. Total a little over $100,00 .TryingĀ it,Ā after a very easy seasoning process,Ā Ā I cooked so far 20 wings, sausage peppers and onions, and a full breakfast eggs, bacon, sausage and hash browns, things you canāt do with the Webber.Ā I am happy with the results. Easy clean up and stores nice with the carrying case The only negative, a lot of grease/oil to clean up. It should get better with more experience using it. Ā Ā Looks like we may semi retire our Webber. 1 Grant Ā 2022 GMC Denali 2500 HD 2019 Ā Elite 11š Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWRJRPE Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 We got the 22-inch double-burner Blackstone Griddle - it is a heavy and a bit overkill (with 2-burners you can cook breakfast for the entire campground).Ā The 17-inch single burner, still a bit heavy, is definitely a better choice.Ā Either way, Blackstone griddle is a versatile cooking machine.Ā We also got the hookup hose for our Oliver propane connections - no need to rely on those propane camp bottles, although we still use them from time to time.Ā And, we got the Blackstone table stand ($89) for easy leveling and eliminate the need for a portable cook table.Ā Although expensive, and heavy, the Blackstone stand makes the Blackstone experience better.Ā One last suggestion, using small disposable aluminum pans (or aluminum foil) to line your grease/oil catch trap makes cleanup easier.Ā You may want to visit the Blackstone website to checkout options for your new griddle.

I am probably going to get the 17-inch one. Ā But, I bought a Cobb grill and also a wok for it. Ā I think I am going to REALLY enjoy this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SeaDawg Posted December 8, 2019 Moderators Share Posted December 8, 2019 Nice griddle, Landrover. Nan, how do you like the Cobb wok? IĀ use my wok pan a lot at home. Our Ollie's Christmas gift arrived yesterday. 2 200 watt panels, to double the output of our existing twin 100s. Excited for that. Next year, maybe a Lagun table , if I can figure out a good mount place in the small dinette. I'd love to be able to raise the table to counter height when I am using the little table as a prep space, or dish drying space. š SherryĀ Ā 2008 Ram 1500 4 Ć 4 2008 Oliver Elite, Hull #12 Florida and Western North Carolina, or wherever the truck goes.... 400 watts solar.

Ā I only got the Cobb a short time ago, too. Ā I did buy the cook book for the Cobb, but I am not a fancy cook so do not think I will be using these receipts...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calypso Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 We bought a 22" Blackstone before we picked up our Ollie at the end of August. We then went for a 2 month shakedown trip up & down the Blue Ridge Parkway with a stop in Hotlanta for our annual physicals en route home to Pensacola. During the trip we used the grill extensively. There is nothing better than bacon in the morning, plus I have always wanted to work the griddle at a Waffle House. We probably ate more bacon, burgers, grilled sausage, etc during the 7 weeks prior to Hotlanta than last couple of years. The result was a 20 point increase in my cholesterol as my doctor not so subtly pointed out. Soo.... for Christmas we got Ollie a new 3qt Instant Pot last week. It makes great steel-cut oatmeal, but I bet it makes lousy camp toast. š 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
