You're making me drool! I just bought a brand new portable weber Grill last year, and I'm trying to justify getting one of these in my head. We spend a lot of time on the anchor in our boat, and I used one of these last year to saute some Cajun shrimp. It was out of this world! Storage space is my biggest obstacle, but it would save a lot of indoor breakfast cooking in the cabin!
This is perfect for a cabin. I take mine every time we go anywhere like that. . . I even put it in the car when we go for long hikes. I'll pull it out and fire up some sandwiches when we get back. We'll enjoy the trail head area eating our sandwiches, and by the time we are done the Blackstone is cooled down and we can toss it back in the car and head on. Perfect little portable. They do make one size smaller, and it is a great little guy too. I even have the small electric Blackstone, and LOVE IT. if you are sitting on the fence grab it and never look back.
My Mexican mama used to make a similar burger/fry sauce for us. Ketchup, Mayo, a few squirts of mustard, a couple of healthy dashes of tapatio sauce, some chopped up pickles
Yes!! See I love the chopped pickles in my sauce, but the wife doesn't like them, so when I really want them I have to add them later. No problem for me, I'll do anything to keep her happy.
Thank you for your service Sir. A friend of mine served on your ship as well. He had a few hilarious comments about that boat. i won't pass those along here.
Thank you very much. Tell your friend I too have some funny comments about the time on her, but those would most likely get me kicked off of RU-vid. LOL Thanks again for watching.
I know with todays technology there has to be a way to make those darn bags easier to open. Iven worse is when you pull the tab and it only opens the top about an inch and then it pulls off the top leaving you looking for a sharp knife or scissors to get the job done. LOL
Burgers looked amazing and for sure going to try the sauce. Thanks for the video and thank you for your service 'Ranger'. We say grace every night in thanks to you and all that have served for our country. God Bless. 'RESPECT'.
Just bought mine I’m in fl and i’m seasoning it now is my fourth coat of seasoning before I use it today is the Fourth of July and I’m gonna put this bad boy to use today thank you for sharing your smash burgers will try🙌🏻
Ohhhhh you are going to have a blast with your griddle. Just don't get too discouraged if you get a little sticking the first few times you use it. Soon it'll be better than the best non stick pan you can find. Thanks for watching, and I soon hope to get off this crazy shift I'm working and have time to do more.
Hello from south of St Louis, MO. Planning to get a 22" Adventure Ready soon. Just going through different vids to see people's thoughts. I appreciate your real time video.
Love your video’s……just got a new blackstone from our adult kids and just finished seasoning and will follow you from now on…..we winter in the valley of Texas during the winter months and grill every day
I'm sorry to hear about your old Weber, but you are going to love that Blackstone. Keep watching, I'm going to do a few more videos with it this month.
Tennessee volunteers state!! Love the video!!! Wife bought me a 17” and 22” for our two campers! Cant wait to use them. Oh one camper is for deer camp or camper for me and wife!
That darn microphone tries hard to make me sound like Darth Vader. And the wife was trying to tell me that there was stuff in my beard, but I didn't get what she was saying. LOL. Thanks for watching, and enjoy your griddle.
I was looking up the Blackstone 22" in action. And I love smash burgers! You made up my mind. I'm ordering my griddle straight away. Cool idea with the cart.
You did well to differentiate the versatility this one has over their other offerings. I initially ordered the 28” because I thought this was too small but it’s two different markets these grills are trying to reach.
That's exactly right. I just had this one at Hawking Hills Ohio and we used it every night. The place we stayed had a grill, but it wouldn't get hot enough to melt butter on a warm summers night, so I'm very grateful that I brought it. We were using it for seven people, and honestly didn't have one bit of a problem. It did well. The only thing I'd like to do is get a 5 pound refillable tank. We knew we were going to use it a bunch, so I took my 20 and it was a pain in the behind.
You are going to LOVE it!! and the fireball is good too. LOL. No seriously you are going to have a blast. There's just two of us, so the 22 is the perfect size. Just remember this, don't over complicate thing. It's as easy as you think it is.
found this via blackstone subreddit. nice job on the burgers! I just picked up my 36", I'm near toronto, ontario. love seeing what everyone's doing on their griddles. keep up the good work.
Hey Mark. Mike in North Mississippi. I get my BS 22" griddle this week and can't wait to start grillin'. I really like the Harbor Freight cart idea. Great job on the videos man. To be continued...😁
Mike, you will love that 22. It is the perfect size. I've been using that cart for a darn long time now, and still love it. Can't wait to hear back from you about how you are doing.
Omg these look amazing!!!! I’m buying the 22 inch black stone tomorrow for my hubby for a gift and I personally can’t wait to grill on it lol. I’m definitely going to give these a try! Thank you for sharing 😁 We live in the cold upper peninsula of Michigan and it’s just now becoming summer so perfect time for grilling!
I think you will LOVE it. We seem to be using it more than all my other grills (5 others) just because it's so much fun and so much faster. Get a good spatula kit as well as the Blackstone Burger kit and all the rest I don't usually use. One more thing. Chicken Stir Fry is amazing on this.
Nice job. Going to have to try the sauce. See your USS Ranger hat... was attached to the that ship as a member of one of the squadrons (VF-21) back in 1977-1979. Left it just before the '79 WESTPAC cruise. Will keep an eye out for future cooking tips. Just got my Blackstone 22 and looking to get to grilling!
Now that's very cool. I was on her from 83 to 87 in the machine shop. Did a year in drydock then saw a lot of water pass by. LOL Had a great time though. You are going to love that 22 inch. It's just big enough to have fun, and just small enough that you'll want to take it with you. I have a few more ideas that I want to fire off soon.
I make smaller burgers, about 3 oz, a slice on each, double stack. more crust. also, a smash press works a lot better than spatulas, wider, even pressure over the entire spread burger. good call on the mayo (not Duke's for me tho) to brown the buns. but however you make them, theyre amazing.
Outstanding. You are going to love it. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. If you want to try something fun, give my chicken stir fry a try. It's easy and very good.
Hey Mark! Mack from Charlotte NC… Burgers Look Amazing!! Looking forward to trying some on my 22” over the Weekend. Thanks for the seasoning recipe. Hope you have Safe & Happy 4th🇺🇸
That looked delicious, especially in this cold weather now. Got ours from our Son and Daughter in Law for an early Christmas Present and can't wait to use it!
I just got my blackstone yesterday. I am enjoying your video. I seasoned mine yesterday, but I think I may have used a little too much of the blackstone seasoning. My griddle looks a little "rough". I'm hoping it will even out as I cook on it. The corners of my griddle aren't very dark at all. I'm thinking I need to put some food in those corners and let it cook.
I bet you did fine. It takes a while for the edges and corners to get black like the centers. Just cook on it and in no time it will be non stick and even as all heck. It's one of those things that the more you use it the better it will get. Just clean it with water and scrape it down, then while it's still hot give it a VERY light coat of oil and let that smoke off every time you use it and it will be the best cooking surface you will ever have. Griddle on my friend, and enjoy.
Thanks for stopping by. I will have a few new videos starting early next month. I did serve on the Ranger. She was a good ship. I hope you like your blackstone, and stop back again. I'm going to be doing a chicken cheese sandwich that is very good.
Hi neighbor... I'm from Jeannette, Pa. (near Pittsburgh). Just got my griddle. Can't wait to try your recipe. Those smash burgers look great! I just subscribed to your channel and can't wait to see more of your recipes. Griddle on 🥩🥓🍔🌭🥞🍕🍺
Thumbs up for video. I just bought this griddle with the stand for making chicken breasts and veggies. Winter is coming soon in New England and i was wondering if the deep winter cold would affect the performance..those burgers look phenomenal.
I'm sorry, I think you are asking about my Bacon Weave Cheeseburger Fatty video? If so, no I didn't add any of my rub to the bag with the meat. I usually wait till it is flattened out and tossed on to the bacon before I give it a healthy shot of my dry rub. Doing it this way helps the flavor of the rub mix with the ingredients I put inside, but keeps it from being overwhelming. Then I wrap it all up and give it another shot on the outside of the bacon. I hope this helps. If I missed the mark give me a shout either here or on my Facebook page and I will try and help you out better.
Just pick up my Blackstone yesterday. It took me 6.5 hours to cure it. I’m in Florida and it was 87 sorry. Had to use a fan to help cool off slowly between treatments. Thanks for the video, I’ll be smashing this weekend.
I hope you enjoy your Smashburgers. Something my son and I thought up the other day. When you are making your burgers put a piece of cheese on the bun, and on the burger. That way it's a double cheese smashburger. a lot of times we double our burgers, so doing it this way will give you cheese, burger, cheese, burger, cheese. Now how can that be bad. LOL Seriously, enjoy your Blackstone.
Congratulations on getting your Blackstone. When I seasoned mine I warmed mine up and then got it good and hot. I LIGHTLY oiled it The lighter the better. Then I let it cool down to where I could touch it. Then I started it again. I felt like this was the way to go not only for seasoning, but for heat tempering the steel. I did that four times before I started cooking on it. Don't get too worked up over it, as long as you use a very light touch with the oil, and don't turn the temp down until it stops smoking you will do fine. Then the more you cook on it the better it gets.
Looking good! I am about to go out and get one myself. I am just going back and fourth on do I go with the 28" or 22". I like this one as it is portable and we are a family of three so I think that the 22" would be sufficient and i like that it has a cover.
Great cook. I only cook in my garage. And I have only really had one issue. And it was a lack of cooking that hurt me. Side note. You need a burger press. Mines a rectangular cast iron one. It works great.
I got the magnetic paper towel holder and the shelf. I've ended up screwing the shelf to the top because the magnets wouldn't hold and half way threw a cook it fell off.
I do too. We also did green pepper burgers the same way. Add small chunks of green peppers and smash them just like these. Dang are they good. The peppers stay crunchy and it gives the burgers a good flavor.
Wow! Your smash burgers look awesome! Thanks for sharing your tips and recipe! I’m from Ohio too and know how cold the winters can get here. Liked and subscribed and looking forward to more! Also, thank you for your service 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It's a great all poupous dry rub. I've used it on just about everything. I even gave my stir fry a quick dusting just to give it that smokey taste. It took me a good ten years to get the recipe just right.
