My gas grill gets north of 600F when running full blast, and the convenience for me is hard to beat. I love charcoal, but it’s just more of a pain.
I wonder if I could find a steel or stone to fit inside my gas grill for pizza. |

I've never understood the 'gas is way easier' argument. Sure - if you're running home for lunch and want to grill hot dogs, do that. But if you're talking about the difference between a 30 minute cook and a 40 minute cook (when you're probably doing prep somewhere in there anyway), I just don't get it.

I was pretty upset I missed the Prime Day deal for one of these. I've been watching them for a long time now and have been waiting for a good price. I'm hoping now that grilling season is winding down I'll have another shot at a good price.

Buddy has pretty much the one in the OP. Camp Chef I think. We’ve used it for years at tailgates for burgers, Philly cheesesteaks, Italian beef sandwiches, breakfast, etc. they are nice

It fries up quick. If you have pig semen on your hands it don't really matter does it?

I had the blackstone and had a lot of fun with it but there were a few negatives. Mine only lasted a couple of season before it needed the burners replaced and I also didn't care for the fact that when it got up to temp and then you added 4 or 5 pounds of meat, the blackstone would drop 150 degrees. The unit I have now cost more but its a commercial unit from a restaurant supply . it cost $600 but I am confident it will last many years because of much better quality burners and it is stainless steel. the cook top is about twice as thick as the blackstone and has a much better way of draining grease. it doesn't have near the temp drops due to the thicker cook top that holds heat better. We use ours 2 to 3 times a week and on the weekends we have pool parties and do big fajita cooks. We have a pavilion on our back deck by the pool with a bar, 2 smoker, the griddle and a gas grill. We use the griddle and smokers the most and the gas grill the least. We cook and eat our dinner outside 5 -6 days a week. Also a restaurant supply is a good place to get big spatulas made for use with a griddle and scrapers to clean the top. I could never find the right tools at department stores and the restaurant supply is really cheap and better quality.

I know this will be dependent on heat settings. Does this thing burn through tanks like crazy?

My local supercenter says they have limited stock. I’m going to go check here in a couple hours. Still wanting one after yesterday so it’s no longer an impulse buy right?

But the flip side is that I think Camp Chef still uses cast iron and Blackstone uses cold rolled steel. At least I'm pretty sure Camp Chef still uses cast iron. I've not noticed a real disadvantage to the steel at all but some people are die-hard cast-iron folks.
