I’ve been doing the whining as well. I think it’s paying off.

Looking to build an outdoor kitchen with a griddle included.

I'm interested in a Blackstone but am curious about how the grease trap off the back would work if its sitting flush in a counter or bar top. Seems like it would be a challenge to access.

Anyone have theirs built into countertop that can shine some light on how you installed it?

I have no experience with Blackstone but I love my Blaze. http://www.greatgrills.com/p/9352783...iddle-lte.html

Got one last weekend. Just need to set it up.

That's certainly a beaut.

I saw you mention upthread about including it in an outdoor kitchen. Any challenges cleaning it with your setup?

No, grease tray is super easy to empty. That’s why I went with this unit.

Tangential topic, But dealing with grease traps can be the worst. Among my top five worst experiences during a 6 month period working at McDonalds in the 1970s, was the night I had to empty the grease trap. This thing was like 30” long, 4” wide and 30” deep. It was full within 6 inches of the top and probably weighed over 100 lbs. The smell was about what you would expect from rancid grease. It had two handles on the 4” side. Me and another guy each grabbed a handle to carry it the 40 yards to the corral. We were hunched over, taking these tiny shuffle steps, with the grease slopping back and forth. My shoes were caked by the time we got to the corral. But at least I was making $2.70 an hour.

I got the 36” char griller. It has a front grease trap and about $100 less than blackstone. Came with a lid as well

The tray is a must. Also, fry up a pound of bacon first. Because bacon.

I’d probably look for one with a front trap. No countertop here but the black stone is slanted at the back so you’ll play hell getting it clean.

I have a subscription to ATK. I’ll see if I can dig up an article about it.

Nice. I bought the black stone seasoning … shit. It worked better than oil. I’d recommend it.

I bought one and used it once. There's just nothing I care to make on it, I can make smash burgers on my big cast iron skillet, and I dont have an army to feed for breakfast so it's not worth using it for that either. Steaks taste better on cast iron as well.

If anyone lives in the Springfield/Ozark area and wants to make me an offer let me know. It's the biggest version, and comes with a hardtop cover and an outdoor cover. I'll even throw in a grill scraper I bought for it.

I missed out on your firearms sale lo many years ago. Still stings.

I’m not your griddle huckleberry unfortunately.

This one looks promising.

I’ll give you about tree-fiddy.
