Considering a Blackstone

Just made a prototype 36" cover for a Blackstone. 28" version may be done later today

Can someone tell me where they are on sale? I'm a cheap SOB and when I say on sale I mean really on sale. I have seen past threads where some people got these things for like $100.

Message me your size. I made mine a little longer to cover the front drain. Blackstone and other after market does not. Also made a little taller to close
cover the gap between plate and griddle body.

as small as the cooking surface of the 17, that should work well. Here is the 28 cover

Most of the time I'm only cooking for 2, infrequently for 4, and it has plenty of room for my needs. If I was cooking for a big crowd I can see the advantages of the 36 or even the 28. Now tho, if I felt I needed more room I would just buy another 22.
I like the grease trap in the back - easy to remove and clean. Didn't really like the grease hole in the 17 as I imagined that filling up with chopped onions, cabbage and the like.
Mine does seem tricky to light at times. If I just give the knobs a quick turn and hear the click of the igniter it's 50/50 if there will be actual flame. What I found is that if I turn the knob just enough to start to let gas flow and then pause for a second before continuing to turn to get the click of the igniter it will have flame every time. No big deal but it did cause some head scratching for a while.
On the other hand, with the 17 on sale at about half the price and the 28 on sale at about the same price as the 22 I can see that might make the decision harder. Since it appears that the 22 is no longer exclusive to the Home Shopping Network I'm guessing that we will eventually see sale prices on the 22 also.

Between his family and friends, he moved them all, and kept one. This was SD. I found my 28 and 36 in IA, same prices. Happy hunting this Fall!BrandonQuad Cities

@DMW What kind of burner does the 17" have? Can you lift the griddle off and set a pot on it? I'm assuming it has one burner.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.
