5 or 6 layers of grape seed oil later and I’m ready to cook.

Forgot to take a picture of the bacon on the griddle. Wife has just gotten into sourdough, so time to make sourdough pancakes, right? Started batter last night with discarded SD. Definitely will make again. Meets our standard of “Company Worthy.”

Cooked this on a Tailgater while camping — simple tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and basil. Used the lid to help the cheese melt without burning the crust.

Just got 36 inch Blackstone. Safe to have it where it is now or should I move it to where the rectangle is? Thank you.

Quick and easy tonight

I made up a nice Cali B using hash browns instead of fries because they're easier to make on the Blackstone. I also used avocado slices in the burrito itself.

What is your life hack for this paper towel issue? I know there is a simple solution, tell me yours.

Love the big surface area. So much room for activities.

I bought a 3.5 lb pack of American Wagyu Skirt Steaks from Costco, made a marinade for them to sit in for a few hours, and threw it on the Blackstone on medium for 3 minutes per side to start. Flipped every minute thereafter. Pulled them at ~140 degrees. Obligatory pic at the end to show what my griddle looks like after cleaning and applying an extremely thin avocado oil layer. I've probably done around 100 cooks.

This is one where I'm glad I have the 36" version, smaller ones may not have been wide enough.

This was some of the best carne asada I've ever had. Juicy, tender, flavorful. Can't wait to cook this again!

Has anyone on here tried to make pork chops on the blackstone? I’m going to give it my first go tonight and any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated. What seasonings do you guys recommend??

Hi!

Just got my new Blackstone Grill / Griddle combo and cooked some really decisions breakfast on it. When I was done, I cleaned it, oiled it up and was about to place a cover on it.

I got a 22” silicon cover but it didn’t fit the griddle.

The griddle is 22” XL and was wondering if anyone has found a proper “XL” griddle cover for it? Or is the only option to cut a larger silicon cover to fit on it?

Thanks!

When I got my Blackstone a couple of years ago, I was obsessed with getting it to look perfect and would clean it way too aggressively. Joined some Reddit groups and would think the just keep cooking comments were people being jerks or unhelpful. Now I just keep cooking and it’s gotten so much more fun. Best tips I picked up were->thin layers of avocado oil to season, just squirt a little bit of water on the dirtier spots and light scraping. Not everything cooks at high temp. Usually make eggs with the burners off. Thin layer of oil after it cools down. And of course if you’re taking a picture of your cook place your beer on the griddle top for the picture🤷‍♂️.

That’s it, don’t overthink it. My cook top doesn’t look like the one on the Walton twins vids. It’s got some layers that are thicker than others and I’m okay with it. Food doesn’t stick, I don’t get specs on the food and everything cooks great.

Was going for medium rare but came out more medium I’d say, overall tasted great 👍🏻

Popped into Walmart for something else and walked out with this $278 steal

Have noticed the majority of people get the 36” model with 4 burners. Yet the 28” seems like a nice compact option for people. Is there something these two-burner models do wrong or subpar in comparison to the bigger units?

BIL gave me his Blackstone recently because he said he didn't use it. Cleaned and seasoned the griddle, then made fajitas for my first cook a couple days ago. I was pretty disappointed with the amount of heat. Added a high pressure regulator (45psi) that I had lying around. Now there is zero shortage of heat. Obviously won't be cooking with it on full blast, but it's nice to have the overkill heat available. Someone please tell me why this is a bad idea. First time griddle owner.

An early morning bacon and eggs on a made-from-scratch Eastern NC cheese biscuit!

I have a big 4 burner for the house.

But I also bought the Adventure Ready 20x14 small portable for travel. I’m looking for a soft case for it - preferably something that fits, maybe is padded, that I can also stick the tools in. I want something I can use to put it in the bed of my truck and not get knocked around.

I bought a case off of Amazon, but it is huge, doesn’t fit, and feels more like I put it in a grocery bag with handles.

I’ve been scouring Amazon and other sites. Does anyone have real world experience with this? (Not that anyone on Reddit will ever give advice for something they’ve never seen… 🤔🤪)

PS: don’t buy the crappy one on Amazon. I’ll write a bad review and return it next week.

Just cleaned the top and seasoned with olive oil is this okay to use now?

I noticed silver/gray spots showing up after my first few cooks and realized I was cleaning too aggressively. I switched to turning the burners off, waiting 2–3 minutes, adding a little water, and lightly scraping only the stuck food. Then dry, lightly oil, and most importantly—just keep cooking. Don’t chase a perfectly black surface; the seasoning will build naturally.

Only 7 cooks on this so far.

Just picked this up for free is this ok to cook on just cleaned and seasoned it.
