Great tutorial Michael. I just bought my Blackstone and was wondering what is needed. Thanks for the info.

Great video! I agree with 100% of the things you said. I wish this video would've been around when I first started out. I could've saved a LOT of money. Thanks for the content!

Great video. I am terrible about buying every accessory when I get into something new. I think you saved me a few hundred bucks.

I'm getting my first Blackstone griddle today so this was very helpful! Thanks!

Thank you for this video! very helpful in choosing Christmas gifts for the family!!!

Loved your video. Thank you. Some of the accessories for the grill itself that are really helpful- table surround, hardtop cover, canvas cover, scrub pads and stones we found these items indispensable.

When it comes to the burger presses; use parchment paper between the press and burger patties. Eliminates the need to clean them. 👍🏼

Love the short videos- love the long videos. Keep it up

Fantastic video! Very informative. Thank you!!!

Started with the 36” then it turned into the 22” with the stand then the 17” then the adventure ready prep cart. Then the new spatulas, hamburger kit, new scraper, knife, 3-1 cleaning tool, rubber spatula mat, magnetic hooks, caddy, storage tote, flashlight, thermometer, cutting board, water bottles, 2 magnetic seasoning/bottle holders, both basting covers, and the adventure rubber basting cover(use it as a chip bowl), egg rings, both cast iron presses, 2 taco racks, warming rack, and a bunch of the seasoning. Now thinking of getting the new plastic serving trays. But when I go camping or tailgating at White Sox/Bears games I always get compliments on my setup.

I purchased the BS caddie and really love it to transport all the ‘stuff’ you just mentioned!

Very informative! Thanks!

"What accessories do I need," is, indeed, one of the most oft asked questions by new BS owners. You gave an excellent appraisal of yea and nay items. Folks would do well to follow your advice while learning the ropes and finding out their specific needs.

Thanks for all this info! I'm a little hurt that the thing I'm most looking forward to using (pancake squirter) is on your don't get list. But still, you helped a bunch!

Just got the magnetic towel holder that came with 2 blackstone embroidered towels. It’s great!! And looks cool. Now I’m trying to find the scoop to make taking food off the griddle easier.

Thank you for the tips! You have a good teacher voice.

You said that the XL cast iron press is made out of the same as your griddle top. Griddle top is a cold rolled steel not cast iron.. good video.

I got the burger kit with the circular press on sale and it's fantastic I didn't think it would do much but I gota say it's pretty good would recommend

That was really a great video. Real helpful. For a long time weber guy.

Thank you Thank you - I’m getting ready to un box my 28” - kinda wish it was the 36” but I’m thankful for it . Great video ! Some of thoes items I have already bought - the need ones , lol lol so I will work on getting the other ones

Great advice!

Some of the accessories are necessary like you said and I have all of those basic things that you need to cook on the griddle. All of those extra unnecessary things take up a lot of space and I like having as little as possible to clean up after I cook so I stick to the basics. It is nice having a variety of different size domes for steaming different things and depending on the size of the griddle you're using

Great video, I would make one comment though. Depending on where you live, you may only have one Walmart Supercenter in your town. So you would never find all of these cool items all in one single store. Where I live I have 4 Supercenters within 20 - 25 miles of my house. Depending on what item I was looking for sometimes I found I would have to hit all of them and still end up having to order the item either directly from Blackstone Products i.e. the Fiesta Bowl and tortilla warmer set. I have the BS 28" Rangetop Combo griddle. When I saw Todd Toven's video he did with all the new 2021 products and I saw the 17" E-series griddle. I said I gotta have one of those. I hit all 4 of the Walmart Supercenters and it was a big fat no-go. Then I happen to be returning from a visit to the local VA Hospital and there happened to be a Walmart that I don't normally shop at. Guess what the fifth time was a charm, they had one "1" in stock I snatched it up and went straight to the checkout. Sometimes you just have to rely on impulse buying to get what you need.

Great info for the first time griller.

A great tip for cleaning out your grease tray is to use a Turkey baster to clean it out. That is, until you get large chunks of feed in it.

The grease sleeves work. I have the 36" pro series. They work great. No extra clean up. I just don't like paying $8 for 6 like trays.

I did not see the hamburger spatula. Every time I make smash burgers I use that one. Great video.

Never knew there were so many accessories for the Blackstone. Thx

We bought everything except the taco holder because it haven’t been in stock at Walmart but as soon as they stock it we getting two 😅🤣. Oh we didn’t get the knives either but we going to 🥴. We don’t have the pancake decorating thing because we would never use it.

Did anyone see when he picked up the dome it went from looking like a giant dome to a small one and then back to giant size when he put it down?? 🤣 Thanks for the vid.

Good informative video, I needed to watch as a new BS owner!!!!👍👍

The one thing I disagree with in this video, is the pancake dispenser. I use mine all the time! I make breakfast every morning and you can even use it on waffle makers etc. it’s phenomenal.

Hey Kids! Christmas gift suggestion!!! Grill, taco accessories, small steamer cover...squirt bottles...

Great video! I’m a new subscriber and have enjoyed your Blackstone videos a lot. I have many of the accessories that you have as well. My spatula mat and presses are by far the most used along with the spatulas, tongs and water bottles from Blackstone. I bought the new original series serve and store cart today from Walmart. Going to put it together tomorrow, hope it doesn’t take all day LOL

I saw your comments about the butter roller. Just wanted to say I’ve quit using butter for the toasted breads like a grilled cheese. I now butter with mayonnaise. Grills well and spreads well too.

I disagree with the foil grease pans. My first Blackstone I didn’t use them and I regretted it because it got nasty quickly. When I got my second one, I purchased them and they make it a whole lot easier to maintain cleanliness. Other than that, well put video.

Have you noticed the grill itself seems to be somewhat of a loss leader? I got a pretty good deal when I bought my 17" portable grill. But then I bought the stand, and all sorts of accessories and toys. When it is all said and done, I have way more money in accessories and toys than the grill itself. It is kind of like Disneyland.................it will never be complete as long as there is imagination in the world!
