Griddle Cover Riser OT

Hotch

When I got my Blackstone and put the cover on I knew I needed to do some thing. So I first used a couple of roasting pans, open side down. Later my great friend, Spring Chicken got himself a Blackstone. As I, he was a quandary about the cover also. But with a sharper mind than me, he went all creative and below is the results of his great work and knowledge.

A big thanks to Leroy, Spring Chicken. (Problem Solver)

Enjoy...

Now that's problem solving! Neat idea.

Ok, so what is it?  Inquiring minds, and fellow owners, want to know.

He took a couple of strips of aluminum and basically made 2 rails and 2 styles. Found the sweet spot for the pivot points so it will fold back on itself. 
This keeps the cover from making contact with the grilling surface. And with applying a thin film of oil after I cook, the cover will not get oily and damage the seasoning.
Damn thing works great!

That's much more inventive than me.  I use a beer can (empty of course).

I use milk jugs but good thinking

I use an inverted disposable aluminum steam pan. It' has worked great so far and I always have a ton of them around for comps.

Looks like I'll be headed to the Home Depot tomorrow. Great idea.

Indeed that is a really cool idea.  I love how it folds up for easy storage.

I like that, good solution!
