My empty wallet is the only thing that keeps me resisting.
Maybe by my birthday in May I'll have some money and they will be at a good price.

Cool! I bought the 17" about 2 months ago. Haven't even fired it up yet!! Sure wish I could use it indoors in the winter!
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I'm stoked about this. Plan is to sand the surface then season with a sh!t ton of Crisco.
Walmart had these for the same price as the 17" ones. They want to clear out just this size for some reason.
@Canugghead - I've got all kinds of plans for this kathi rolls, tikki , parantha, dosa, "Hakka" chow mein, fried rice, breakfast... The list keeps growing!#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
Actually bought one for a friend first yesterday. Only available at 1 Walmart in a 30 mile radius. Couldn't hold out any longer so went back and got one for myself .#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

Don't need one, but those smash burgers and stuff look fun to make. I'll keep hoping to run across one at a bargain price.
I ordered one of the RTIC 45 coolers today for a friend. Think he is going to appreciate it for camping. He knows nothing about the surprise headed his way, so I am looking forward to the phone call when it arrives. This friend is 72 and is kinda thrifty so he just would not buy one for himself, kinda like I won't buy the Blackstone for me unless I run across it on WM clearance. -

Ashish, I dont think you need to sand it down. Mine (also a 28") was pretty clean, no weld spots.
Fire it up, season and go. I would not let it rip wide open too long initially to prevent warping, and like all our Tavas, it gets seasoned the more you cook.______________________________________________

Thanks for the tip. Seems like the the 17" have been more prone to warping? I'll go easy on the heat though. i was thinking of sanding some of my cast iron pans and then reseasoning them, so I may just do it all at the same time. Or skip if the griddle already looks pretty smooth.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

Have you tried this link to locate one? It has been posted elsewhere, and saved me from calling a bunch of stores, or driving out to find they didn't have them.
