    Pan seared or poached if I had to cook it on the Blue Star. But, if I had a beautiful thick piece of king salmon I'd be cooking it on my Big Green Egg or Joe Jr. it take smoke so well.

    Pan seared, bc I was curious how well our new hood vent worked to remove fish smell.  Blackstone & vent did an amazing job - dish was Delicious.  I’ll post recipe on the “what are you chef-big tonight Dr Dre” (something like that) thread

    Anyone have experience with customer service and support at BlueStar. Have a few quality issues with the new fridge I’d like to have addressed immediately

    I had two issues with my stove. Both were addressed satisfactorily, although not instantly. I also had a question about the size of the wok I should get, called them and spoke to a customer rep and quickly got my answer - a 14" round-bottomed one.
    Off topic, I've also found that a wok base is handy for cleaning it.

    Still shopping for the reno, but noticed the new Dual Fuel option is on the website now, coming soon:




    Not sure I'd touch it for a few years, but I'm sure it will sell. Sealed burners, more than one 25k, and all down to 500 or 600 btus for simmering.  Sounds good in theory, but the self-cleaning alone is enough to drive me away from it!

    By immediately, I meant sooner rather than later on down the line. My dealer offers zero service post sale due to the fact that they literally just drop it off. No install. The issues are internal, I didn’t get a chance to accept/reject as I was the gorilla who brought it into the house.

    Customer service extremely helpful. Sending out local service rep to come and see the damages and he’ll order parts and replace what’s needed.

    Doesn't the sealed burners mostly eliminate the big advantage of a BlueStar?

    Cleaning comment....
    I've got a 30" RPN and cleaned out those removable drip trays under the burners. There was a little bit of stuff, not much, in the slide-out that holds them. And there was also a small amount on the top of oven below that, which I didn't expect.
