ckreef Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 I must have been good this year because Mrs skreef came through on this one. Blackstone PROseries 28", 3 burner griddle. This was a huge upgrade from my 17", 2 burner table top griddle. Here are some random thoughts: Very well packed in the box. It said 30 minutes assembly time and that was spot on. #3 phillips and adjustable wrench was all that was needed. Powder coated gray finish. Very sturdy stand. 4" rubber tire casters makes moving it around very easy. Large grease catch for the rear grease drain. Grease catch pulls right out. You can get foil liners for the grease catch. Comes with 2 side shelves with a magnetic bar on one and a paper towel holder for the other. Both shelves have pegs that can be installed on the end to hang various utensils. Due to limited space I installed one shelf with the paper towel holder on the side that holds the propane tank. 3 long SS burners each with their own ignitor. The front orange Blackstone is NOT a sticker. It was CNC cut from the metal with an orange backing plate. Nice hinged lid. The cheapest part of the whole unit is the handle for the lid. Seemed a bit flimsy but once installed is more than adequate for the lid. Blackstone has come a long way with their advertisement stickers. I went through their sticker war when I bought a Blackstone Pizza Oven years ago (I almost lost that war - LOL - if you bought a Blackstone Pizza Oven years ago you'll know what I'm talking about). The advertisement stickers on this griddle easily peeled right off I am very pleased with the purchase. Decent quality for the price. Anyways I guess I need to get cooking some breakfast. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be exact a offset vertical stick burner. KBC Karubecue C-60 - hopefully the winning scratch off lottery ticket is waiting for me in my stocking And of course a 42" KK but that would take a much bigger winning ticket.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk A solid 7 cooking devices but up towards 10 depending on how generous I am with the counting. No need for a restaurant just use the best grill for the food I'm cooking, the current weather and how adventurous I want to go. You can never have too many although Mrs skreef would probably say otherwise. She keeps telling me I'm out of room. I keep promising no more grills. Truth be told I could easily squeeze in another 2 or 3. Edited December 25, 2019 by ckreef 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pearson Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Charles, what a nice gift looks heavy duty! Can’t wait to see some cooks on it. And Merry Christmas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrus Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Ckreef, your not hard to buy for. I wouldn't say easily predictable but when it comes to BBQ toys the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. That offset your dreaming about is just down the road from you in Georgia where Lang has there business. To ship up north once you purchase costs approx 7-800$ a savings by living so close. Enjoy your toy Happy New Year 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just expand the patio I don't plant flowers in my garden I grow grills. Shovel the grass off a new garden section. Plant a few hundred dollars in the ground. Cover with some pavers and in a few weeks even you could grow a grill Yea the porch is officially full. Any future additions will have to go in my BBQ garden. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
