My wife just bought me these for my birthday. I think she's trying to talk me into a Blackstone.

Don't get a Blackstone, it will ruin your life.

  You will gain weight.  There are scores of hot women who are attracted to chubby men.  You won't get a moments peace.  This is fact, google it.  Do not get a Blackstone!

Blackstone owners love to kick puppies. Do you hate puppies?

I really like my blackstone but I would also have a look at the Camp Chef 30 inch model. It is a little more expensive but it seems to have a better design for the grease trough and and pan. The grease channel on the blackstone is pretty shallow and the pan is pretty small. If you are cooking a lot of food (like bacon) the shallow channel can be a pain. 

Now the downside is it the camp chef is smaller (600 square inches vs 720) and has lower BTU burners. 

Here is a vid with a comparison:

This guy is pretty obsessed with griddles and has many other videos. He really seems to like this one:

It is a smaller portable unit and it is porcelain enameled.

It wasn't priced. So I had dude scan it. When he said 99. I teared up a bit. Fought the urge to give him a hug. And bought it. The 36 right by it was priced at regular price.

Good Score..I have searched every Walmart on-line within a 2 hour drive and can not find the 28 inch in stock.  Looks like the 17 is available at all

From a post on another thread on FB. I just verified what he said about the price. So, I'd call them. 

"if you type in  Liberty Missouri walmart and type in Blackstone griddle it will come up (In stock $ 99,00) but when you click buy it on line right below it it comes up $170.99 so if you call Walmart.com and tell yhem that they will price match it and send it to you."

Every Walmart I've called looking for one when people were buying the 28" for $60-$70 wouldn't price match other Walmart stores in the area. My friend bought one for $50 with a receipt and tried going to other Walmart stores in person to price match. No dice. That's super nice if you found a Walmart that will price match other Walmart stores
