Gonna try some German potatoes and onions this weekend, along with some dry aged ribeyes I have on hand (the steaks will go on the grill).

Looks like he's starting with a new griddle, right? No, I didn't soap and water it, I just started seasoning. Maybe I should have! :LOL:

Also looked like he used enough oil for four griddles! WAAAAY too much oil.

My cover came in yesterday and I put a milk jug under it. We got some good rain this morning and it worked perfect. Thanks FMB.

I learned the hard way. I just built a hard cover this weekend with some plywood and 2x2 furring strips. It's not pretty, but it's functional, and $20 in product was a lot better than $100-$150 I was seeing online for the metal ones built for it.

Count me in.

How did the ribeyes turn out? Very curious to know what you thought compared to how you usually do ribeyes.

We didn't end up doing the steaks. Bit those would have been grilled anyway.

Yay!!!!

:doh!: I need to learn how to read I guess. Just automatically assumed griddle instead of grill when I read it the first time.

I would be interested in how a ribeye or kc strip turns out on the griddle, if you ever do one that way.

Smashburgers for lunch. Got the trusty flooring trowel and wallpaper scraper out. Butchered the first patty before I remembered the parchment paper. Wife said these were the best burgers I've made her.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...044b484c6f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e1124106fb.jpg

Nice. Finished dish?

Ugh!! I already smashed on the food, my bad lol.

Best damn grilled onions. They really set those tacos to a different level. I love the griddle, no regulatior issues. Grill got hot as ****.

That would be great for a tailgate. Would also keep you warm.

Philly cheesesteak will be my next go to meal on the griddle.

These look awesome. I think I have been inspired to get a grill griddle topper now though.

I’ve used this several times since I bought it earlier this month. We’ve had breakfast twice, Philly cheesesteaks, hibachi, fajitas, and burgers/brats.

Ease of use and the large size make it awesome.

Gonna have to try this. Fried cheese pizza.

I made this for lunch today in a skillet.

It’s really good. Mine looked like a fire hot mess so I didn’t take a picture. I also made enough of a mess the wife might co-sign a griddle purchase.

I ordered the 28" Blackstone and it should be here any day now. I didn't think me and the wife need a 36" and the 28" takes up less space so it will fit end to end with the regular grill on the deck.

I did some the other night . My wife says they were the best steaks either one of us has ever made, any way.

My wife bought me a pancake shitter today.

I'm doing breakfast this weekend.

:rockon:

Never heard it called that but that is the most pragmatic name one could come up with.

So just thinking out loud here.

Fiesta cheese as the base and grilled chicken/steak, pico, lettuce and taco sauce. You could probably fold it into a badass taco but at worst you toss some refried beans on the shell first and make it a tostada.

The first thing I made on my 28" was an onion volcano. It wasn't a very good one though so I'm going to have to work on that. Then I cooked fillet's(cubed them as they cooked), vegies and heated up the noodles. It was to easy and to good.

We're going to need a video if you're making something as cool sounding as a food volcano.

Let’s get this party started. Time to turn up fam

Turnt up for Sunday breakfast. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fb12004057.jpg

We use a Blackstone often outside, but since it's getting colder I picked up a Pro series Steelmade USA griddle top for our oven.

I love this thing. Since it's thick, we can even use our pots on top.

I missed this one. Thanks Sauto. I just may have to put one of these on my Christmas list.

I Don't use my Blackstone. If you don't use it a lot it rusts up and then it's a pain in ass to clean when you do want to use it.

I bought one of those. Had to return it. It was melting the face of our oven.

Good to know!

Tell me more, I don't want to **** up our oven.

My newish stove has a built in one one top. I love the thing. Use it daily.

They said they'd never seen it before, but the face of the stove where the clock and temp settings are blistered and partly melted from the heat generated.

I will keep an eye on it. Thanks for the heads-up FMB.

Joined the crowd finally.

Should have done it 3 years ago.

Like everything else, FMB was right on the money.

Propane is the devil's work...

What did you end up getting?

Black stone 36”. Thing will make some heat.

I still love mine. And I have a relative who just got one of the portables, and he'll be breaking that in this summer/fall, as he's already got tickets to some multi-day festivals.

I've been on the fence for years. Only thing that's held me back is I think the only thing I'd probably use it for is breakfast. It would make breakfast a lot easier but hard to justify the space on my deck for just that. If I'm cooking outside, meats taste better grilled or smoked and I'm not a big veggie person.

I just showed my wife this thread, and talked her into getting me one Fathers Day :)

I’m pumped!

You sir are a wizard!

My whining caused my wife to use our trillions of amazon points for one. :D

I got the 28" blackstone the other day. I love it. I have made smashburgers first, then have done hibachi, cheesesteak and omelets so far. The rain hasn't been kind but I'm having a good time with it so far.

We're building an outdoor kitchen and I ordered the 30" Blaze built-in. Never had a griddle before. Can't wait!
http://www.greatgrills.com/p/9352783...iddle-lte.html

Finally snagged one after finding a good deal for one with a lid.

I’ve been wanting to get one of these for a while now. I may have to bite the bullet and do it.

Mmmm. Hash browns cooked with bacon grease.

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.

We have a tailgater blackstone that we take on the RV and love. So much so I wanted a griddle for our larger regular grill sitting at home. Looked around and actually purchased this and could not be happier!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I wont take $3.50, but I'd take $350. It goes for around $400 new without all the accessories I have and like I said I've only used it once. It'll also come seasoned and ready to go.

MTG what did you do about your patio situation in your back yard?

Are you referring to the crooked post holding up the corner of my 2 story deck?

I've done nothing yet, I really need to get on that. If you wanna come replace it I'll give you my Blackstone!

Yeah the crooked post, maybe you can make a project out of this in the Spring.

I have my own griller though a simple Weber Charcoal Grill. Seems to work as good as the ones with all the bells and whistles.

I've got one of these. Bought it for my screened in back porch but I've only used it a couple times.

I sent you a PM.

So the Meat Church channel I subscribe to started peddling Loco Griddles. It looks like the grease trap is up front. It looks they have thermostat controlled burners too.

Looks pretty good but I can't vouch for anything.

Also, I like doing this on the griddle. I make a shitload and eat the leftovers FOR-E-VER. :)

Much appreciated!

I actually showed my with the Blaze model IA_Chiefs_Fan posted upstream and was expecting a hearty **** you but she seemed open to it. My guess is because it "looks" better but I'd still like to explore a less expensive option because I haven't disclosed my plans for a 2 tap kegerator to her yet haha.

On a somewhat related matter, my Memphis Grills built-in pellet grill is my favorite appliance or grill I've ever purchased. It holds temp so perfectly, the flavor is amazing, and it's super easy to clean. We even do frozen pizzas on it. Mike at GreatGrills.com was super helpful when I was planning my outdoor kitchen. I think he's just a one man shop and he worked hard for me before and after the sale. The price seems to have gone up about 25% in the past year though. Still a great value of you can swing it.

If she's into the aesthetic check the loco one.

It doesn't look like a less expensive option, though LOL. I'd be interested to get some real life reviews on it. Not that I'll be in the market, but whatever.

Camp Trails drains down to a like spigot in the left front corner. Should be able to rig something up to catch it.
