Seasoning the 22in blackstone griddle. This will be great for the RV.

[PapaBill]

I've got to season mine yet. I'm so ready to go Camping and try it out. I got the Tailgater, which one did you get?

Thanks,
Bill

I got the 22in with the hood. I think it might be relatively new, I didn't see it on Blackstone's website but they had it in Walmart.

Don't mean to be dumb, but do you use that instead of a fry pan and stove? It can't replace a barbecue correct. I bet it is good for eggs or pancakes bacon and things like that ,but what about steak and chicken. I have been seeing a lot of these lately.

I think it will work well for steak.

Yes, nice menu but people are replacing barbs for this, what you described you can do on a stove with a fry pan or even grille. I can see the joy of cooking outside, but don't you lose the option of a barb. Steak or chicken? I'm not against them at all but really don't know if I want to replace my barbecue to add that. Like I said I love a big area to cook on but. And that is a big but to me. I love the flavor of a barbeque. Been thinking of getting one but still not convinced. I think it limits you, am I right or wrong.

My blackstone is in addition to the BBQ. They both have their place/purpose.

Our Blackstone is more of a breakfast or lunch unit. Love grilled cheese sandwiches on the Blackstone.

I agree with you. We do have a Blackstone and it works well, but I will never replace my Weber Q with a Blackstone. If I'm forced to chose I'll take the Weber Q. That's just me. I do know others have ditched the grill and are happy with just a Blackstone. My brother is one of them.

Great, you are one of the few, what I have seen is a replacement on here, yes it would be great to have both, but I guess others are limited in space one or the other. With people switching to Blackstone, what size did you get if I may ask, I assume it's propane?

17" It's pretty small. We also have a pretty small trailer but are careful what we pack. We also have a 1 gallon propane tank that we use for both the BBQ and the Blackstone so we don't carry around all those 1 lb disposable cylinders.

Our trailer is not even 25' and we have tons of storage not filled.

We just got done eating a steak on the Blackstone griddle, better than the steak house.

[dbledan]

I have cooked steak on mine. They come out great. I worked in a restaurant where this was all we cooked on. They made steak but were not known for it.

I have my smoker as well and sometimes bring both. The smoker can double as an oven and will reach up to 450 as far as I have tested.

The only real difference between a Weber q and this is a flat top instead of the grates. They cook similar but cleanup is so much easier with the flat top. I have replaced a skillet and burner as well as a Coleman roadtrip with mine.

It would not be any where near charcoal but I dont do that when camping because of the mess unless the camp provides the grill.

[Skip12]

I've made the switch from Coleman Road Trip to Blackstone Griddle. I survived one week without the grill.

The Blackstone had some cool spots but generally worked well. Breakfast is a no brainers. Other meals will take some practice.

More than anything, really appreciate the clean up.

At the end of a trip I'd spend hours trying to get the Coleman clean. Blackstone is quick with a blast of water, a little scraping, a little oil and its ready for next time.

I have both BBQ and 17” BS. I need both and both have their places. LPG all the way for me... it’s always the right temp, it doesn’t burn out and easy to cool off. Win win. Do I like charcoal? Heck yes, but I am camping and easy is key.

[Sharon455]

We love our 17” Blackstone. Nothing replaces charcoal, but when you live with fire bans which include charcoal grills you learn to adapt.

Love ours, we used a 17" last season and am upgrading to a 22" this season, ran it off of the camper propane for ease of use, we cook everything on it including steaks.
