    Adding your location to your signature line will help us to help you.  For example, Tractor supply had them for pretty cheap recently, but only in the southern states.  

    Many have found deals at walmart and usually is a great place to score a deal.  

    Use this link to see if there are any walmart deals near you.

    Bed, Bath and beyond sells them online with free shipping. Plus they always send out 20% off coupons.

    Lowes will match competitors coupons and undercuts the price match by 10%.  When I bought mine, I was able to use the 20% off coupon for BB&B, then get the extra 10% at lowes.

    I have a NIB stainless version in the Atlanta area that I might part with.

    I gave the one I was using to my BIL last year. I kept a second one NIB until we moved. We moved in August and it’s still in the box in the garage. I doubt I’ll put it together. It doesn’t fit my cooking style and I’m over the Blackstone Mania of 2016.

    Ha!  That makes one of us.  I love that thing.  I may use it equal to my egg in the warmer months.  If I'm stuck in 2016, so be it.

    It’s too messy for my preference and it takes up a lot of real estate. The wife hates smashburgers too.

    I definitely hear that.  Cleaning that grease trap sucks.  I stopped using it and opted for an empty beer can.

    Wow. Maybe I need to reconsider getting one. I just thought it seemed like a good grill to cook breakfast items like bacon, hash browns, etc. and not smell up the house or have to clean up the kitchen as much.,. Maybe my fascination with them stems from  my frequent visits to the Waffle House.  By the way, I live in Middle Georgia.

    A lot of folks have them and love them. If it fits your style of cooking, go for it. I’m not a big breakfast eater so I’m underutilizing it’s purpose.  The 36” is a big grill. Unless you’re slinging a lot of grub, one of the smaller ones would probably be better suited.

    The 2016 craze has passed and the 36" is now passé.  All us cool kids have the 22" version.

    @RandyC take this picture to a Tractor Supply in your area that has a Blackstone in stock. They should honor this price. I did the same about 2-3 weeks ago.

    Let me know what y’all want for them. I’m potentially interested. @DoubleEgger is closer to me than @Jeremiah.

    Went home for lunch and had some griddle time.  Par-cooked some veggies for a soup my wife was making.  She likes them slightly caramelized.  10F outside.   Almost no grease!  :-)

    Love my BS.  Don't trust any piece of equipment from @DoubleEgger, that boy is jinxed, on a good day.  Still can't believe his boat is still floating, reg letters or not. ;)

    I have been considering the 36 inch to go along with my 17. I really like the looks of the stainless, but the wallet is just not deep enough. After reading the lack of love for the 36, I might have to reconsider it.

    It's not that I don't like the BS, actually I love it! I just don't need the 36" anymore. I just purchased the 22" from HSN.

    Respectfully....To answer the title of the thread, the Place who has them in stock on the day you are ready to purchase one. Don’t over think this to save $15 as you will find once you have it, you want be asking yourself..... if I had saved a few dollars, I would  be enjoying this so much more. Focus on what size best fits your needs for volume of food, mobility and storage. Just my two cents worth.

    If space is the issue I could see going smaller than the 36". If you have the room go 36". You have 4 burners with the 36". Just turn on the amount of burners you need for the cook. We use the whole 36" top majority of the time.

    Best part of having the 36, holding off heat while timing everything, the griddle stays just hot enough.  The 36 is the best griddle from their lineup, even when cooking one or two.  I plan on getting a griddle bag for the 28, taking it out next year.
