Just got mine assembled and first coat of flaxseed oil applied and bonded. Cooling down now.  My hot area is a good size circle dead center.  Pretty much was running at 500.  The sides are cooler and in general the front runs hotter than back.  This is going to be fun.   

Yeah that sounds about right. I think my hot spot is more of an oval , but the edges are definitely cooler.  

I can't wait to see some of your cooks!! I need to get some recipe inspiration. I'm in a fried rice, fajita and breakfast over and over cycle. I

I will most likely be canceling my order. Was ordered on the 17th and it has still not started the shipping process. Cover should arrive today though.
Looks like I will search for a new supplier again.

I happened to notice they were $254 on Amazon today in US (with Prime).  Not sure if that helps our Canadian brethren.

Thanks @SmokeyPitt , I looked and they wont ship to Canada.

Man, I hope you find someone with better service for you!  

AlbertaEgger

@Thatgrimguy , I have one more place to try, I just contacted them again, after that I think I will look at other options. I just found this available in Canada. Just seeing if it is stocked or not. Its a bit more.

Why is it is difficult to ship to Canada? I know it's customs, fees, etc. but why do you guys make it hard on yourselves? Seems like NAFTA would have made things easier years ago.

AlbertaEgger

it is becoming quite frustrating @DoubleEgger , trust me. And its not usually an issue at all. But this griddle is becoming a real PITA to find anyone that will ship. And I think the current supplier that I ordered from is beating around the bush and they do not actually have one they can ship me. I could be wrong, but they are not to helpful as to where or why they have not shipped it yet.  Might have to look into the Chuckwagon that I found above. 

Thatgrimguy

@AlbertaEgger That Chuckwagon unit looks nice. Looks very similar to the blackstone.

Looks great.  Did you only light the 2 left burners?  Also, what was your approx griddle temp?

Bustersdad

Yes, only 2 left burners...do not need all 4 burners for smaller cooks.  Temp was roughly 375

Amazon is weird.  I swear it was $254 yesterday.  They must have sold them all that were sold by Amazon. 

If you go here:

Look to the right at "Other sellers" and one is Amazon for $254, but ships in 2-4 weeks.

I just paid $184 on Amazon.   It was 254 plus I got 70 off for signing up for the credit card.  Pretty sweet price I think. They are out of stock but should ship in two weeks.  What other accessories should I get? 

AlbertaEgger
