I bought the 36" about a month ago.

So far have done steaks, smash burgers, hash browns, bacon, eggs, (scrambled and over easy), potato pancakes.

I agree it works great and clean up is real easy. I bought some griddle screens and use those backed with a sponge to clean it.  Non stick surface after seasoning.

The one I received had a larger weld by the grease drain and all has gone into the drip tray. Seems to have solved the issue of grease missing it.

Looking forward to making steak burritos. Just having trouble finding skirt steak where I live.

I've had a 36" for 3 years, I really like doing stir frys, I always have way more than my wok can handle, I like leftovers.   My wife likes corned beef hash on it, I can spread it out and get it really crispy

How portable are these things? Looks like they break down but I can't tell for sure.

I have had the 36" model for about 3 or 4 years and love it. I do large breakfast cooks, burgers, Philly cheese steaks sammys, boneless chicken breast, omelettes and more.







Never tried to take mine any where but the legs do fold in.

They do fold up. Blackstone even makes a carrying case for it.

But it is heavy.

The blackstone basically allows you to have a 36" x 22" cast iron (really steel) skillet that is easy to warm up, allows you to cook outside so you don't smoke up your kitchen, and is fun to clean. I'm eating a lot more seafood because of this and can really blacken fish now.

This weekend the plan is to smoke salmon on the mak with fried rice from the griddle. It's really a powerful weapon in the cooking arsenal.

How does this compare to the Camp Chef gas griddle?

I know the feeling...I have been eyeing up the Camp Chef griddle/grill for the last week or so.  Glad I am out of town and winter is coming up or I would have pulled the trigger on buying one of these.  I think my Weber will be going on Craigslist in the spring.

I bought one this past spring and really like it.  My summer unexpectedly got very busy so I have not had the opportunity to use it as much as I would like.  So far, have used it mainly for breakfasts,  hash browns and omelettes.  Did make burgers on it once and the family liked the sear on them.

I have the one that is split between a griddle and grill. It is great for tailgating! comes with a carry case for the base and a case griddle and grill. Pretty slick unit.

Who doesn't love fajita's on a flat top? We use ours quite a bit, and it's see's Sunday breakfast brunch duty weekly.
