    COOL! 
    My much smaller 17" was just delivered last Friday. May be a few days before I season mine and use it since I have a leveling issue I need to resolve. That leveling will involve "measuring the proper height" needed for each leg's extender which I will probably cut using copper pipe and then adding rubber feet.
    BTW your BS looks nicely blackened - what did you use( oil, if so what oil,  bacon grease, otherwise) to get to that point? And how many coats/seasonings did you do before this first use?

    Just how out of level is your griddle?

    Minor leveling issues should be able to be addressed with the existing screw in rubber feet.

    Trust me...the side lift up shelf on my table is way off level, due mostly to the intended run off degrees of my rear deck... far more than what those screw on legs will help me do. Then the attached shelf has a drop from right to left further complicating the leveling need. Therefore I know each corner needs to be a different height. Sorry if I mislead anybody as I will take care of my leveling issues on my own with NO fault or blame meant for BlackStone!

    Angle it to the lower left, carry on.
    FWIW, I have grilled on an unlevel patio, unlevel driveway, various patio tables, campground picnic tables, two tailgates, and I have never taken a level to my 17.  And I carry one with my camping gear.

    Good luck with the project.

    I used some crisco vegetable oil. Got the grill hot, evenly spread the oil across the top and let it burn off. Did that till it got good and black. Also threw some random random seasonings on to help try and give it some flavor. Also cut an onion in half and rubbed it across the top. Never did it before so just kept doing random stuff. Lol

    Gotcha. Lot of other variables there thrown into the mix.
