Does anyone have experience with this grill? Starting to plan my outdoor kitchen, I have always wanted a griddle and this would fit the bill, it is a little pricy but I like that it is round and will match my Eggs somewhat. Let me know what you think.

    Quality looks good, made in the USA doesn't hurt.  Tabletop model looks cool for portability, storing.  May be a little too rich for my blood.  Although that was my first impression of the Mo Joe, after seeing my brother use his, it is definitely worth the pricetag for admission.

    I found an old CI Griswold #16 griddle for $60 on the large, and a #12 for $30 on the small.  Was given a Baking Steel.  CI gets used for the lower temp breakfast type stuff, and steel for the high temp burgers, steaks, cheesesteaks.  They all get the job done.

    My parents next door neighbor has one in his outdoor kitchen.  It's unreal.  When the blackstone griddle was first talked about on here I thought about getting an Evo instead of the blackstone.  Called a dealer and changed my mind quickly.  If you have the scratch it's pretty sweet.

    My one suggestion for you is to better understand the support of the product. I get that you can order the parts from them, but if on site service is required.....how will that be supported. If a local service company has the authorized rights....make sure they are reputable. JMTC. Product looks great though.

    I like the blackstone as well. Can it be built in to a counter?

    I saw a picture of someone's setup in another thread that was built in.  I'll try and find it.

    It's pretty darn amazing. Those are macked out. They don't get affected by wind, they have perfect heat distribution and drain to all edges. It's the perfect griddle IMO. But it's super pricey.
