Blackstone cooking
« on: June 02, 2024, 01:13:02 PM »
It’s been a couple years since the last significant griddle cooking thread here. I picked up a Blackstone last week from a hunt wa member and got it all seasoned up(I think) and cooking. Made breakfast for 7 this morning on it. Think I did alright. First significant cook on it. I understand it gets better with time. Anybody got some amazing must-try recipes?

Mine was the portable with wheels.  2 years old.  I converted it to 5g propane tank and it still was junk imop.  Not enough gas to heat up enough.  Little bottles worked somewhat better.  I tore it apart and use the griddle and lid assembly on top of my Solo stove wood fire pit.  Works great!  Also those silicone rubber handles ARE flammable if hot enough.  Trust me. :twocents:
MAGA!  Again..

Smash burgers are some of our favorites, and the Benihana style fried rice.

This.
Oklahoma smash burgers topped with crispy bacon and secret sauce on the buns.  Sometimes I'll add a spoonful of smoked bone marrow to each burger before topping with cheese.
The smell of the onions while cooking is mouth watering!

Tractor Supply had a sale on them, I got the 36” one. Seasoned and have cooked eggs, bacon, and hash brown patties twice. This model gets way hotter than one’s needs to cook with.

I like it so far.

I recently picked up the tractor supply 36", so this is my first time with a Blackstone! I was not happy with the output and heat dispersion. Not sure if that's why they were on sale and cheap $279 with the lid.

I could only get up to 450 degrees (have a laser one) and very small sear area.

I ripped the burners out, replaced them with some different ones, and got an adjustable regulator. Made a world of difference for me. Cost only about $60 and a few hours of time.

I made little stainless steel shelves out of 0.04" steel so didn't have to drill anything new into the Blackstone.

Much more satisfied and can get it up to 600, with a much larger area to sear.

If you're disappointed with your griddle, try this out. If your sear area is good, but not hot enough, get the regulator (start low and work up!).

I tried to splice a before and after pic of the seasoning and blackening I got stock and modified.

Now I can at least say a little bit of this is American made, like 0.1%!

Philly cheese steaks. Safeway has pre sliced raw steak in the meat department that’s packaged. If you have an electric slicer then partially freeze some ribeyes. Slice up thin and cook with onions, peppers, mushrooms etc. Slide a sandwich worth to the side and cover with cheese of choice. I usually squirt a little water and cover with a lid. Can have the sandwich rolls toasting also.

I've had occasional low flame issues and this has always worked for me.

I have a 28" and love it.  Made pa cakes, eggs, burgers and hotdogs.  Have to try some of the awesome ones that are posted.
