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 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.

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......

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.

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.

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.
experience is a freakin' awesome teacher....

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
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

Thanks. It's been a wild week but hope to get it cranked up soon.

Is this something I could leave out there on a deck with open sides? 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.

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’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.
I love my country, but don't trust my government.
