Nice job. Came for the grill “review”. First one I clicked on. Stayed because of 305 and fisheating creek. Grew up in N. Miami, camped at the creek 2+ times a year with my dad on the primitive sites. He’d take my friends and I up there sometimes as well. Nothing like cooking breakfast over a fire, then jumping in a canoe and exploring the area. Then sitting back at night and roasting marshmallows over a fire. Thanks for bringing back the memories! I’m 561 now, but still 305 for life! 😃. Suavemente is a nice touch. 😉

Not only beautiful scenery but also great video of all that good food! Pretty sure I will get one of those griddles but after watching another reviewer having quality problems with the stand and cover that came in the Walmart bundle, I was wondering if you purchased yours separately? Any issues with the stand or the cover?

@cookingwithbigcat

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Karin, I did get the bundle. The cover is really just good for keeping things from landing on your griddle when not using it. It is not really air tight so for cooking purposes it doesn't help much. The stand is also a little tricky to get used to. The legs extend and there is a nob with basically a flat threaded nut that squeezes against each leg that holds it in place. Trying to level it can be a challenge. I got mine level and just keep it out now so no problem anymore. Overall it has been an excellent griddle and I wouldn't not buy one for those minor things. Just my opinion. Good luck...

Thanks for the comment D. I usually cook for 2, sometimes 3 but I have cooked for 6 on this 22" Blackstone. I keep my cook tools in a tote so it's a pretty quick set up. Usually takes me about 5 minutes to set up the Blackstone (check out my very first video). A wagon would be excellent because the blackstone is heavy for 1 person. I don't use the little tanks anymore and 1 large propane lasts the summer easily. Thanks for watching!!!

Which campground is this specifically? This looks amazing. I live and camp all over Michigan, but this looks like the Florida comparison to some Michigan pine trees! Also, when you're cooking such a large breakfast, how do you keep all your food warm? Looks like you're just using some foil. I've got the 36" at home, but just picked up the 22 for camping. It's a tad easier to keep things warm at home.

Great comment Brandon!!! It's Fish Eating Creek just West of Lake Okeechobee. It's a beautiful campground I've been going to for close to 20 years.

I bought the Adventure ready 22" griddle last summer. The hose that comes with this does not work well with a 20lb tank. If you just turn it on like a normal grill it has almost no flame. I emailed customer support and they told me that this is a common problem and sent me an elaborate set of steps you have to do to get the griddle to work properly. They also offered me the option to purchase a different regulator hose for $30. The piece you need for this griddle to function properly is not sold with it and this is not covered in the warranty. The rest of the griddle is great, but that doesn't matter if it can't get warm. Save your money and get a different brand that works!

Hey Joe, thanks for the comment. I had the same issue to and was very frustrated. After many hose changes, tank changes I googled it (should have done that in the first place). I found that after you connect the hose to the tank and the griddle, you have to open the tank nozzle slowly. If you open it fast it shuts down the regulator. I have not had a problem since and I obviously use the Blackstone a lot. Hope this helps.
