Griddle

[wabakimi07]

Just got home with a new 2021 2280bhesp. It came with a griddle instead of a grill. Its looks pretty good, some people says its a rebranded blackstone. Anyway people say the mount is flimsy and not to use it that close to the camper. It looks to be at least 18" from the back to the camper due to heated and grease splatter. Its more convenient hang next to the camper as opposed to bringing a table. Anyone have experience cooking with it yet? I heard blackstones have a lid, wondering if it will work on this. I mulled over the decision to buy this camper for months. My last forest river TT had alot of quality issues. This one doesn't seem to have any of the issues I've read about so far. I went out of state to buy and I really liked the dealer.

The blackstone web site will have all of the accessories listed including lids. Then check amazon for the product... however lids have been sold out for months.

You will find that cooking on a non-level griddle is NOT good. Better to sit it on a picnic table; use a small level to get the cooking surface level. !8 inches is plenty far away from the trailer

I think that would be way better then the grill. I wonder if you could modify it to fit on an older pup.

Looks nice. My grill is still in the box. It's huge and not enough floor space in my camper for it after it's put together. I use my floor space for my mattress topper (rolled up) and microwave. That takes up all the regular floor space. The dinette floor space is used by the LCD TV and Blu-ray player, and tiny waste can.

I put my Coleman grill in the dinette seat where I can access it from the slide out exterior doors. Makes easy to get in and out even when the pop up is folded down.

Griddle looks nice if you can find room for it and find it more important than other items that need space.

Then again you could just throw it into the back of your truck.

I hear you with the issues. Myself, I don't know if I have the patience for another camper and it's problems. While I thought Forest River was the worst from my experience, others say there's even worse than these. Now that makes me wonder how this industry stays in business at all. My 3 Jayco and Starcraft units were MUCH MUCH better than the 3 Forest River units I've had.

Now that my wife is getting interested in camping more, she's thinking we should go back to a TT. I'm thinking this pop up is the last camper I want to deal with. Then maybe just rent cottages/cabins.

Looks like a Blackstone to me. I love my 17” Blackstone griddle. Way better than a grill if your not wanting to carry both. They even sell
Grilling grates but I see no need. I coated mine with olive oil and cooked it in my grill at home on high for 30
Minutes and turned it off. I did this 2-times. It’s been great ever since. I use olive oil to cook with and have zero issues. Very quick griddle to clean up as well.
