Last week we shared the news that we had recently added a Blackstone 22 inch Adventure Ready Griddle to our cooking arsenal. Since the blog post & video, we’ve had requests for a video showing the ease of break down & set up. These larger flat-top grills feature legs that fold up, allowing one to fit them in a large trunk or a truck bed. These flat tops also have large casters that make it easier to maneuver them over flat surfaces for short distances.
We only work with companies that we love and trust, and Blackstone fit the bill in a major way. This griddle was fast becoming like my fourth child, needing constant love and attention. Blackstone is a reputable company, so you can anticipate top-quality customer service.
I have graduated far past just making pancakes at the campground–and the 36″ has been my steady companion. Delicious Fajita nights are happening on my 36″ every week. And surprising enough, I love a good steak on my Blackstone just as much as one cooked over an open flame on the grill. I spoke to customer service yesterday and they informed me that the only difference between the models are cosmetic.
The griddle uses a one-pound propane bottle to fuel the single burner (the propane bottle isn’t included). You can hook the propane regulator up to an RV propane tank if you want to take your griddle on the road. A single bottle of gas will get you multiple cooking sessions. For retail purchases returned with a receipt, please return the unused and unopened item, with the
original sales receipt, for a full refund or exchange.
You’ll want to be aware of another after-market product, which is the Blackstone 5013 Universal Griddle Stand. Since this griddle is a tabletop model, it does not come on a cart with legs. If you’re using the griddle at home on your deck or have access to a table, then this product may not be helpful. The griddle has a built-in lighter, so lighting the burner is as simple as turning the knob on the device’s front. Use the knob to set the cooktop to your desired temperature, and you’ll be cooking in no time.
Custom made items are not eligible for refunds after production has started. To be eligible for a return, the item must be unused and in the same condition as you received it. It must also remain in the original packaging, Blackstone Adventure and the packaging must be in a perfect condition. Orders delivered outside the United States are not eligible for refunds. If 45 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately, we can’t offer you a refund.
The griddle top is made of rolled carbon steel, which is resistant to damage and corrosion. It’s also a great option to use at home in your backyard Blackstone Adventure or on your patio. The flat top grill is easy to put together and relatively compact. Custom made products are usually delivered within 3-5 weeks.
If you love to cook for friends and neighbors (and even complete strangers that wonder into your backyard) then this is your griddle. Blackstone says you can cook 28 burgers or 72 hot dogs on this bad boy. I haven’t tried to hit those numbers yet personally, but I believe them. The cooking space is massive, but still super easy to clean.
After removing the grease cup, it’s a good time to remove the side shelf. As you disassemble the Blackstone, set the parts to the side. I love how easy it is to clean and not much is needed for the setup. The griddle temp adjusts for different needs and it’s so easy to have a propane bottle or 2 that will last for the whole trip. Many of Blackstone’s grills come with additional features that make them easier to use. Less common additional features include bottle openers and paper towel holders.
