Oh yeah!  I simply did toast on mine last night for the kids.  Toasted PB&J. All done at the same time.  Stay outdoors.

Breakfast going to be on point for now on!

Congratulations!  You will find it to be a very nice cooking accessory.  Enjoy it.

I might suggest that you invest in the Blackstone Grill cover.  It's well built and does a good job of keeping your new toy ready for the next cook, not to mention protecting it from the weather.

The cover tends to sag into the 3-sided grill area, so I built a simple, folding frame from aluminum strips that I picked up at Lowe's.  It only takes a second or two to install and remove, and does an excellent job of raising the cover to allow the rain to run off.

I also sewed in a loop in the top center to use as both a means of lifting the cover and hanging it out of the way when I'm using the grill.  It also makes it easier to reinstall the cover on the grill.  My "loop" was nothing more than the buckle from an old belt.  

Here are a few photos showing what it looks like.

Have fun...

How about a heart attack breakfast sammie!  I cannot remember the name Jason gave these, but I'd eat it out of a hobos azz they were so good.

Spring, can you tell me more about the folding aluminum contraption. It looks more pleasing to the eye than my 5 gallon bucket. Thanks

I cannot take credit for these.  They were only cooked on my Blackstone.  These were from @theyolksonyou from Butt Blast.

Sure Moleman.

It's very simple to build with some aluminum flat bar from Lowes or Home Depot. A few hacksaw cuts and holes for the screws and you're finished.  Just jam it in the grill between the end walls.  Then put your grill cover on.

Here are some measurements for you.  Feel free to change them.  My first try was too long, so I cut them back some that fit and looked better.

Instructions for Blackstone Grill Cover Support

You will need: (available at Lowes or Home Depot)

2 ea 38½” X ¾” X ¼” Aluminum Flat Bar

3 ea   9¾” X ¾” X ¼” Aluminum Flat Bar

6 ea small machine screws with nuts

Construction/Assembly:

Drill screw holes on each end and center of long pieces, 

    and in the ends of the short pieces. 

 

Screw together all three cross members snuggly, but not tight

    so that the device folds together easily for storage.

 

Installation:

To install on the Blackstone Grill, simply jam each end between the

    side walls of the grill top, and drape the cover over it.

I counter-sunk my screws because I could, but whatever kind of machine screws you have on hand will work.  I also put some Lock-Nut on the nuts to keep them from coming loose.  Not necessary, but I had some Lock-Nut handy.

Here's a photo of the counter-sunk screw, and the entire thing collapsed for storage when I'm using the grill.

 Hope this helps.

The cover arrives tomorrow.  I actually watched your YouTube video for how to season the surface without even coming to this website. Does that make you internet famous now?  Haha.

And that frame you built is absolute genius.  Simple yet effective.  Love it

Not even Wagyu or Kobe beef out of your dad's freezer or fridge?

Depends.  Can I take it out raw then cook it, or is it cooked when I pull it out?

Almost done with the seasoning process.  Gotta do the green onion trick and then it's time for bacon in mass quantities!
