I have been looking at the Blackstone since it came out and I was intrigued. Last year I really started wanting one and I was throwing hints out to the misses in hopes of a present. I been seeing so many tik tok videos with things that I wanted to cook I couldnt wait any longer so last week I went to my local wally world and picked up the 36 inch. I really am happy with this thing, I absolutely love it. When I am home in NJ I do a lot of outdoor cooking, gas grill or wood burning smoker. This griddle is a game changer! I have owned it for 11 days and I have cooked on it 9 days, multiple times a day because I make breakfast. I highly suggest if you like outdoor cooking to look into purchasing one of these, I cant say enough good things about it. Versatility is amazing, and if you are feeding a group of people it is the only way to go. She is loving it because I am not dirtying up pots and pans and her dish duty has drastically dropped. If you have one drop some things you think I need to try to cook on it.
