36" Blackstone - 07/24/18 02:27 AM

I got my new 36" Blackstone griddle today and I am anxious to get to cooking. Would love to know if any of y'all have one and what your favorite things to cook on it are.

I've been eyeing them pretty close but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Post up some cooks when you get started!

Re: 36" Blackstone - 07/24/18 02:58 AM

I have had one but just a few days. I seasoned it twice with lard then cooked some burgers on it. They turned out great. I cooked pancakes on it for the family Sunday morning and liked how I could knock out the entire batch at once. So far I love it.

Re: 36" Blackstone - 07/24/18 03:50 AM

Not meaning to Hi-Jack, but I have the 17" at camp, and it's giving me fits trying to get it seasoned. Any tips would be appreciated......

Re: 36" Blackstone - 07/24/18 05:38 AM

I’ve had one for about 6 months and I like it. I’ve mainly done breakfast on it. We’ll eat that for dinner occasionally too. It is nice to do almost all the breakfast at once. Pancakes, sausage, and fried eggs is what we usually have on it. Scrambled were ok but they try to run away from you. I’ve done shrimp and steak on it once. The shrimp turned out good and the steak wasn’t bad but I would rather have it done on the grill instead. Used some teriyaki sauce on the shrimp. I’ve been wanting to try the rice like at the habachi places. I found the yum yum sauce the other day. James it took about 6 or 7 times to get it seasoned good.

Re: 36" Blackstone - 07/24/18 10:34 AM

I've got a question about these...

The side deck on my cabin is going to be my grilling deck. It's just off the kitchen. It will be open on the sides and covered with a low roof about 7' to 9' high from lowest point to highest. I plan on having my little cast iron Lodge hibachi out there as well as my Akorn Kamado and I would like to put a smaller griddle like one of these Blackstones that you guys have. Is this something I could leave out there on a deck with open sides?

I would probably purchase some sort of slip on cover for it.

Re: 36" Blackstone - 07/24/18 03:20 PM

Definitely get the cover it’s cheap under $30 and seems to be well made. For seasoning turn burners on high and wait until it’s as hot as it gets. Squirt you some vegetable or olive oil on and using a wad of paper towels and some tongs spread all over even sides and outside. Watch it smoke. When it’s done smoking repeat. You can do it more but they say after twice you are good to go.

Re: 36" Blackstone - 07/24/18 03:58 PM

I went overkill and did1 cycle with grape seed oil (high smoke point) and then 3 seasoning cycles with olive oil (oil, smoke, cool...oil, smoke, cool..etc) and then cooked a pack of thick cut hickory bacon on it before burgers to use the bacon on.
definitely want a slip cover and be sure to use a light coat of oil before storing, especially in the humidity we often suffer.
Posted By: JBrown1975

Re: 36" Blackstone - 07/25/18 12:54 AM

I would make a tight fitting metal cover and put a heavy coat of grease or oil on it every time you are done with it.

This guy over on the egghead forum is making some real nice stainless covers for blackstones.

Re: 36" Blackstone - 07/25/18 01:29 AM

Crenshaw has posted what you need for a griddle cover. Just keep a jar of bacon grease, wipe it down, and put the top on.
Posted By: donia

Re: 36" Blackstone - 07/25/18 01:36 AM

blackstone makes a hard cover that looks a lot like that one on egghead (2 handles on top instead of side), but they are on backorder until sometime in september.

I cube squash, zucchini , mushrooms and onions for the 36" griddle. I cook steaks, burgers, hotdogs and have cooked lamb chops. All turn out great. I keep mine in the garage with the Blackstone cover on it and when I'm ready to cook I just give it a quick cleaning and have at it

Irish, I know they are making hard covers for the majority of the sizes now. I would probably look into one of those.

I have heard the slip covers can make them rust pretty good if you're going to store them for any length of time.

Re: 36" Blackstone - 07/31/18 02:36 AM

I have one. The food I have cooked in it turns out good.

Pros: able to cook lots of food at once.

Cons: having to clean it after each use, the oil drip system overflows when you pour water on it to clean it, it’s very hot to stand by and cook, seems like it’d be easy to get burned on especially for children walking by

Overall, Seems good for outdoor parties with lots of food to cook. May be a little too much trouble if you’re grilling a few hamburgers.

I’m thinking about buying a small grill to use for quicker family meals with less work involved.

I replaced the little drip pan with a 4" miniature galvanized bucket. I just hang the handle over the piece of angle iron and let it fill up. I also usually line it with heavy duty foil to make cleaning it easier. The grease will really get the camp fire going after dinner.

I also carefully drilled out the hole in the angle iron to make the hole bigger so if I am doing burgers and the fat has that jelly like stuff it wont clog up the hole.

Re: 36" Blackstone - 08/03/18 08:37 PM

Marshmud, I see you have the newest version. I bought one on sale for home for $199, a steal I thought. It’s the old version that has the drip rail on front and goes to a bucket on the right. It’s crap. Food falls off, grease drips down the leg and if you put it in a wood deck you will ruin it shortly. Then I saw the new model like marsh has so I had to get it for the lake. Night and day difference. I offered to sell my old one for $70 so I can buy another new model for home. Make sure you get the one with the grease trap on the back it makes it 100% better. If anyone wants to make me an offer in the old model, be careful you might own it.

What would it take to get your old one? You didn't exactly sell me on it with your description:) I've got a 17" model and have been thinking about getting a larger one.

Posted By: snakebit

Re: 36" Blackstone - 08/11/18 06:32 PM

I did not really keep up with the time but I waited a bit after putting on the asparagus and z&o. Should've put them on at the same time. But was probably a minute or two sear on all sides then a few minutes on each side covered to get the internal temp up to 135.

Darrylcom,

You can now buy a new top with the rear grease system to go on your old stand directly from Blackstone.
The 36" was 149.99 and comes with the drip bucket.

I have one at home and at the camp. Mine have the black cast iron tops (have a friend with a stainless version). After using and cleaning I put a little oil on it and put it in a large plastic bag. It keeps dust, pollen, bugs etc. off it. Oil will keep it from rusting.

No. If you decide to try it, keep it thoroughly cleaned, oiled and covered. I have been there and done that, just to much to bother with.

Then I use water and a bar mop to wipe it clean.
After that, I put on a light coat of oil and wipe it in with paper towels.
I use grilling tongs to hold the mop and paper towels so I do not burn myself.
Once the oil is on, I normally wait until I see some smoke come up and then shut off the burners.
Then after we eat, I go to retrieve the tools I used to cook with and put the hard cover that you can see hanging on the back of the griddle back on over the griddle surface.
I know it sounds like several steps, but it really only takes a minute or two.

Re: 36" Blackstone - 12/09/19 12:17 PM

The other night I did a griddled jambalaya.
I know it isn't the traditional way to cook it, but it was mighty fine eating.
I forgot to add the crushed tomatoes, oops.
Once it all got mixed in and cooked, I poured heavy whipping cream over the top while it was on the griddle and stirred it in right as I was taking it up.

I highly recommend them.
They are a lot of fun to cook on and the cleaning after each cook is not bad.

Absolutely.
I know a lot of people are and I am too for the most part. I haven't even had mine 2 years yet.
But I know I had to learn a lot of what I know from other people and never want to stop learning new recipes and different things to do on the griddle.
And hopefully I can help some others along.

I’ve got a pretty fair amount of wobble in the cooktop. I guess I could fix it with washers. Is this common with these things? Seems like it should sit level on the base and I shouldn’t have to use washers to shim it.

Not that I have heard of.
I know that on mine if i use too much watr while its hot to clean with then it will warp like a cookie sheet in the oven and rock then.
It may settle in some when you get it hot, but you might have to use some washers.
They would be wise to build in some adjustments, especially to get the grease to run off like it should.

You can cook them in the oven then crisp em up on the BStone. We do homemade pizza this way. Try Naan bread as well. Can’t go wrong!!

I don't have a blackstone but the only reason I don't is because all the mid level grills were bought up. They had really small ones or really decked out ones with the air fryers built in and all. With that said, I really like the design of the Blue Rhino. The top folds out for counter space. It has a shelf down low, and the whole deal can fold up and lay in your truck bed in no time. Pretty nifty design.

Well. Wife bought the naan. She dressed 3 with a garlic like Alfredo sauce. Don’t go too heavy on the sauce then dress like a pizza. Put on grill until desired crispness of crust (leave a 2-4 minutes for oven) then put in oven to melt the top half. 4th o e use deed sauce just like normal pizza.
Wish my Stone had a top and I wouldn’t need the oven.

Soft cover only, I wouldn't leave it out.
They are coming pretty standard now with a hood or hardcover but I wouldn't have anything less than that and would probably use the soft cover also.

In honor of fur getting himself a blackstone, I figured I’d post a picture of some wings I did tonight. Did some lemon pepper and some with an all purpose seasoning. I don’t post pictures much, but I cook on this thing 3-4 times a week.

Snakebit, tell us about the Parmesan crisps.just shredded cheese?
Posted By: snakebit

Re: 36" Blackstone - 09/25/20 11:34 AM

That is correct. Just sprinkle a little shredded parmesan out on the griddle top.
I should have done these a bit longer until they actually got crispier, but they were still good.

Some people will do something similar with Mexican blend cheese in substitution of taco shells in order to live that low carb life

Re: 36" Blackstone - 10/16/20 02:20 PM

Sometimes we just do a bunch of chicken cut into bite size pieces and drag out every sauce in the refrigerator to dip them in.

Last night, just some bacon and eggs from the griddle with cheese grits and my wife made homemade biscuits to go with some cane syrup from Todds in Headland that a neighbor gave me.
Egg tip on the griddle - if you are frying your eggs, go ahead and crack them all into a bowl and pour them all at once. It's hard to get an even cook if you crack several out there.

Snakebite, how about some cake batter pancakes. Buy a box of yellow cake mix and mix it up like the box says for a cake. Then just make pancakes on the griddle instead of a cake. I think you will like this!

Been thinking about this myself. I used to grill artichokes so I’m gonna try that on the blackstone. Also thinking about griddle chili, meatballs, steak fajita quesadillas. A go to recipe is chicken breast grilled topped with mushrooms, bacon, onion and a touch of bbq sauce and topped with cheese.

Dont know why I've never seen this thread before.
But, I have a 22 inch b.s. for 2 years,that came with a stand and with hood. Mainly to use with camper. I keep the stand on deck, never carry it camping.
Main thing I cook besides breakfast is conecuh sausage with peppers an onions. Of course smash burgers.
Little tip I've found, go to a junk store look for a lid from a electric skillet to use as a cover for the peppers/onions and for hashbrowns of course to help melt cheese.

I found these rolling through the store the other day and wanted to see how close I could make them to pork chops.
They turned out really good and they will be on the menu again.

Would you mind sharing how you do it?
Posted By: BONE

Re: 36" Blackstone - 07/15/21 11:59 AM

Step 1 slice tomatoe to your liking thin or thick
2 flour both sides
3 dip in egg/milk mixture
4 cornmeal/bread-crumb mixture both sides
Once griddle is hot and ready.
Then I add a little extra oil before putting on griddle,
Once on the griddle I leave a lil space in between them.
Then squirt a little extra oil in between, cook a couple minutes,
each side or until your liking of crispy.

Honestly not really…I scraped it good then tops a hand sander and just sanded it down and fished it off with pressure washing it. Took an hour or less. Looks much better as it was flaking and all before
