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

 :yeah:  This is the exact two things I was going to suggest.

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%!
:yeah: Exactly. Then its cold and the wind blows in December and ya can barely burn ya meat!  No offense but I dont reccomend chinese blackstone.  I prefer camp chef.  Probably china too?

Champ Chef is China too. I got their Woodwind pellet grill and their 3 burner camp stove that I used their griddles on before I got my Blackstone.

Anyone here save the bacon grease off the griddle? Are you just using the grease trap and cleaning it well beforehand or have a different method?

Seasoned my Blackstone today using grape seed oil, it works the best out of all the oils I’ve tried.

I have some of this, grape seed oil is better.
Link doesn’t work. I’ve used only avocado oil to season mine and to maintain it. Works great. It has a higher smoke point than grapeseed oil and is nutritionally better than grapeseed oil. It’s probably not much but frying foods already isn’t very healthy so you gotta do what you can to minimize the unhealthy stuff.
I think I’ve only used butter on mine once, and that was last weekend for senior prom breakfast. Pancakes for 15 girls at my house.
