How do you use your Blackstone Griddle?

Wylecyot

I see a lot of you own a Blackstone, and am curious what you cook on it?  How does it supplement what you are doing on your BGE?  I found a 28 inch unit for $99.  The price is hard to beat, but I'm debating on whether this is truly a good buy for me?

Thanks in advance!

Zero regrets even with 3 eggs. I also take this camping with the MM. Go for it, you will love it.

I have had mine since Christmas and I love it. Breakfast, fajitas (chicken, steak or shrimp), smashburgers, philly cheese steak sandwiches, shrimp fried rice, beef and brocolli, fried bologna sandwiches, chicken breasts, quesadillas...

and thats been a month. I use it when I'm in a rush or the weather is bad and I don't want to sit out by the grill. Basically it's my propane grill. I have 2 Large BGEs and I still use the crap out of this thing. 

I also love love the fact I can fold it up and throw it in my SUV quick.

Had mine for 5 days and have cooked on it four times. Can't imagine I haven't had one of these before. Smash burgers , carna Asada , any breakfast combo and no splattered mess from bacon on the kitchen stove.

quicker than washing a skillet

To the OP - I've had mine for just over 1 1/2 yrs - still love cooking on it, and do so at least 5 times per week.  It really rounds out the outdoor cooking capabilities.

I've cooked on mine three times now since my inaugural cook earlier this week. Cleaning is somewhat enjoyable. Much better than sitting in front of a sink of dishes.

where is everyone finding them for 99?  I would love to have one at that price!!

Besides breakfast and fish and shrimp and burgers and stir-fries and the usual items, I've also cooked Pizza and French Bread on it.  Here are the videos for the Pizza and French Bread cooks:

I enjoy cooking on it, so I'm pretty sure there will be other ideas to try.

Clean up is a snap. Scrap it down wipe with a paper towel apply thin coat of oil and good to go for next cook. Somewhere there is a link in this thread, Walmart is clearing them out. You can search by zip code and find the stores that have em. I had to get one in another state. Some areas have em for 79$ or as low as 50$!!!

@bradk31 If you click on the thread below HofstraJet put a link in it where you can find what each Walmart is selling them for. He also lists the codes to look for the 28" and 36" Blackstones

@bgebrent Is that one big @$$ pancake in the first picture? How did you flip it?

Its actually scrambled eggs that set a bit before scrambling.  If it was a pancake I'd use my pizza peel to flip (never done that)

Yep, I should have looked at the picture a little better. Nicely done on the eggs!

I have no reason to do so, but I think I'm going to have to try this.

making smashburgers with a blackstone is almost as quick as a drivethru. in the summer i season and make the 2 inch balls ahead of time so its just literally minutes away from getting off the boat and eating a burger

Thanks everyone!  Looks like WalMart is selling out fast.  I had to search several stores on-line until I found one.  Hope to add it to the arsenal tonight.

No sir.  I have the 36" and love it.  28 is nice too but the 36 puts out a ton of food fast, which met my needs.

Tacos...

For those that have the 28", do you feel it's big enough to get the job done?

Every picture in this thread is of a 36.  If you're cooking for 2, get a 28.  If you ever cook for more, and have the space, get the 36.

RedSkip

The 36 is a work horse judging from the pictures!

Mines a 28 and this was dinner for 5 people. With the 28 $99 and the 36 $278 I decided to go with the 28.
