Blackstone 17 vs 22 inch Griddle

[Neal]

Maybe a steel prop to support the batteries above?

The toolboxes are a bit heavy, need to change to plywood but it works and works well. Hate the sagging though, project for another day.

 

[RKins]

Maybe a piece of angle iron, steel, or heavy aluminum under and across the shelf it will support the weight?

 

[MapNerd]

Well that's just dandy! I guess I need to order more grills and solo cups and watch a lot of youtube to figure out how to use them!!!

I don’t know about the griddle but the red solo cup, I’m pretty sure you just fill it up, lift it up and proceed to party.

One thing I have tried and failed several times now is making one of my fav's - Philly Cheesesteak! I can't believe how complicate this is Especially when trying to shovel too much stuff into a sub roll. I'm still figuring out what the proper ingredients are and how to cook this darned thing!

Saw a video just using ground beef. Saw a few on pizza as well.

 

[Neal]

@CoreyinWP - will you be conducting remedial griddling on your upcoming trip? I'm expecting better reports

 

[CoreyinWP]

Nope, not on this trip.

Blackstone is on my patio with "training wheels" on! Burger and Onions have been mastered thus far.

We've been using a 17" Blackstone for a few years. Love it. I got the carrying case which is nice for storage and moving it around, and the smaller size makes it easy to set up anywhere. Another burner would be nice, so I got a 34" on wheels for home!
Just the two of us, so we'll be keeping the 17". Mine is the first version, so it doesn't have the nice new rear grease catch like my 34" does. It has the hole/drawer at the front left.
Eggs seem to be the hardest thing to master. I don't like brown crusty things attached to my eggs. Pancakes, hashbrowns, tortillas, fajitas, smash burgers, steaks/mushrooms/onions, shrimp, all awesome. And bacon. Lots of bacon!

 

[Neal]

@Tjdave gotta treat yourself to that 22! I had the 17 and what a difference!

Do you leave all your cooking accessories outside at night or do you store them to avoid theft?

 

[Neal]

I leave everything outside, I don't lock my surge protector, I error on the side of trust until that is compromised. I leave a pellet grill, furniture, griddle, etc. all out.

For the first time in a long time I've had something stolen from my car, okay, first time ever. I think it was the Chevy dealership. I had about $15 in quarters sitting in my center console and the other day I realized it was cleaned out. It was either them or someone that services my lawn weekly. I keep my car locked unless I forgot. While trivial it sure feels violating. Off topic from the Campground question above but I bring it up as this is a tough time for many and we may need to gauge that trust level again.

I got the 22 inch Blackstone dual burner griddle, lid, and cover. Used it twice now, really like it as all of my Blackstone buys (17 and 36).

Storage may be a problem, will solve that puzzle when I leave in a few weeks.

Is that a gci table? Was wondering if the 22” would fit on it.

 

[Neal]

This is the table I'm using with my Blackstone Griddle:

We have the exact same setup and have been using for over two years. Love the Blackstone stand which is fantastic for leveling in a campground.

Why do you prefer the 22 over your 36?

 

[Kevin D Pem]

I'm happy with my 17, that 22 looks nice but weight is what I am trying to get rid of.
I too can burn anything, the lower btu rating is right for me.

I have the 17” and it works great. But I think I’ll eventually get the 22”. I like the thought of more than a single cooking temperature.
However, the edges are cooler than than the center. So, there is a bit of heat variance.
