[SoCalDave]

Looking at these to add to the bbq.
The first one went down in price and is only $50 now

I ordered that first one last week and have used it 3-4 times already on my NG Weber. I doesn't get quite as hot as I would like and definitely will not sear meat due to the burners being so far away from the pan. Don't get me wrong it did perform pretty damn good for what I have prepared (last night was bacon wrapped dogs with peppers/onions) but it is small and takes a long time to get up to temperature. I'll just keep in for our camping trips as it will be handy for those early morning breakfast over the fire.

Like others I just ordered the 36" from Walmart and will pick it up on my way home today. Looking forward to cooking on it this weekend.

Just put that in my cart and picking it up on the way home today.

MAGA (Make America Griddle Again)

Picked one up this morning also.
Happy grilling!

Wonder when Dave's commission check from Blackstone arrives???

 

[Nordie]

Well shit...going to need another adapter.

The natural gas kit is also female. Is that NPT? I might have something here at the house, and can I pipe dope it?

They make a teflon tape for gas.

Yes, appears to be 1/2" NPT. Did the conversion kit come with a flare or NPT connection? A NPT to flare nipple is extremely common and readily available.

They also make gas dope as well. I prefer the dope myself.

Yeah, not really a fan of the teflon gas stuff.

So it is NPT, the kit is a flare I do believe. After I posted on here, I read the instructions on the orfices and they recommended a certain type of dope for high temp, would I use the same type? I mean I know at the valve it's not hot, but maybe it's gas resistant?

 

[ka0tyk]

Yeah it’s been probably 8 years but I remember using some type of goop in a can for gas lines at the depot, not any type of regular Teflon tape. After I was done I let it dry, turned on the main and sprayed it all with soapy water to check for leaks.

 

[WhatExit?]

Teflon tape for gas lines is yellow I believe; white for non-gas pipe

 

[boatdoc55]

Teflon tape for gas lines is yellow I believe; white fir non-gas pipe

Yep

 

[Flying_Lavey]

Yes. Same for the dope.

BTW, it's really fun to see people's face when you're checking for leaks with a lighter.

just installed mine and finished the seasoning process. SIL just went to Superior for some fish and filets that ARE STILL ON SALE FOR $6:99LB and some veggies to go with it. Can taste it already.
Took part of the railing out as I had no where else to put it and this area was dormant. Already ordered the NG kit to tap into the rest of the cooking tools.

Blue Rhino...on sale at Lowes right now for 299 I believe. No complaints with mine....

Dont be a buncha girls using dope......lol...If I use white or green dope practically daily.....on 40+ pounds street pressure....you'll be fine with inches water column....most areas are 1/2 to 1/3 lb of gas past the regulator. Just soap test all threads.

Looks good. Watch the heat coming out the side of the Blackstone doesn't affect your island (not sure what material it's made of).

Really have to watch what I put on the two side shelves attached to the Griddle as the heat pours out the sides. Almost melted a plastic squirt bottle and a plastic olive oil bottle

The wind deflectors on the sides should work well to deflect the heat away from items on the sides

We'll see how they come out....gonna still do seasoned potatoes on the grill though....many beers deep right now....weather was perfect....been a chill day. Tacos on the griddle manana with my parents rollin up......fuck this quarantine shit!!

 

[Lunatic Fringe]

We did the Jack Daniels steaks last night.
Really good flavor.

 

[DILLIGAF]

I think I am going to order the 17" one for the trailer while on the road. Who wants to mess up the kitchen and you can do a lot of other stuff on it. Hash browns,eggs and bacon/sausage sounds good....

that is what we do. I am adding the Blackstone stand to give me back a table outside

I looked at Neils today (Lunatic Fringe) as I was at his house. He invited me to do the JD steaks and I couldn't make it. I missed out!!!!! I am going FT for about 5 years just traveling around in the 5th wheel. I think the 17" will be perfect. I think you get the two burners with the 22 but its only me and occasionally a grandson or two. For me cooking breakfast on this is something I am looking forward to.

You happy with the quality of it? Does it come with the top or do you need to order that on the small one? I am also going to get the optional propane connector as I will use a bigger tank.

happy with the quality. no metal top, but came with canvas top.
i got the propane connector and quick disconnect and it goes right to the propane on the trailer.

I just bought his one for our toy hauler. Just put it together last nigh. The stand folds up and separates from the grill.

Robot or human?

I just ordered the same for the 5th wheel. I really only wanted the 17" but wanted a stand, hood and adapter hose so it made sense to just order the 22" package.

I have the 22" also.. I turn out some big meals on that lil thing. Good choice!

That thing is cool....looks like a must for camping. Shit....I'd probably go Mexican style and haul my big one camping with me anyways....

Did some stir-fry tonight...no complaints

 

[ka0tyk]

Another day. Another griddle. Homemade salsa roasting everything on the griddle. Then gonna toss in a blender real quick with some oil lime juice and cilantro.

Then fajita time.

 

[Hardly Satisfied]

Finally found one at Walmart 36” with Lid $297

 

[WhatExit?]

I admit that this Blackstone Griddle has changed our grilling lives for the better... Being able to do most everything on this griddle is outstanding - no need to split the cooking between the kitchen and outside.

Best purchase I made this year for sure

 

[snowhammer]

I found the packaging was quite amazing.

I took my grill out piece by piece and assembled it with ample space. I went to put all of the cardboard and foam back in the original box and could hardly make it fit. That was after I took out all of the pieces for this monster of a grill.

The packaging is definitely good, also smells like harbor freight. My only issue with unboxing mine, (this is probably on the shipping company) was the top edges of the actual griddle had some gouges. I used my cordless grinder with a 80 grit flapper and cleaned them up. The gouges were seriously sharp and could cut you open. Other then that no big deal.

 

[Hardly Satisfied]

Just finished putting mine together now time to season it
