I only gave this product 2 stars to grab the attention of others. We have ours stored in the garage currently because we haven’t purchased a cover for it yet. However, ours has a lid/hood so I’m wondering if some of these reviews posted about having water pooled up on your griddle top causing rust was a result of not having a lid/hood covering your griddle in addition to the cover?
I bought this 6 months ago and have been testing it out, putting it through the paces. It is really a well built and functional piece of equipment. The assembly was time consuming but not difficult. All of the parts, burners and frame are well made and sturdy. The top is ridiculously heavy. Once together it is very solid.
My one and only issue was with the seasoning instructions. The video instructions clearly state "don't worry about scraping anything off" however the top has an oil on it which I assume is there to protect it during storage and shipping. If I did it again I would thoroughly clean this off and start with a clean metal top as this oil created some sticky spots. I ended up stripping it off and seasoning again. Ended up with a slick, non stick surface that works great. I recommend following the video for rehabbing a top rather than the new top video. It made no sense to me at the time to leave the top and I should have gone with my instincts.
Using the griddle once it is properly seasoned is a pleasure, it is actually fun. Steaks, burgers, steak and cheese and even pancakes turn out awesome. I would use this thing all the time if I could.
Just an exceptionally well made functional piece of equipment.
I have had many covers for grills and outdoor furniture and this one is as thick as I have seen. Great fit and reinforced for the pointed corners. I use it more as a dust/debris cover as the griddle stays under a covering but so far I have to say, great product and very well made.
This cover fit my Blackstone 36 exactly! It has reinforced corners on top corners and a straps underneath that keeps it snug. However, I went to take the cover off several weeks ago after several storms, and noticed some pooling on top of the cover. Once the cover was off, I was surprised to see that my griddle had some serious rust and there was still some water on the griddle. I was under the impression that these were we waterproof, but maybe I got one out of a bad batch. I was not happy that I had to spend a couple hours stripping and then reseasoning the griddle.
I ordered a griddle, it came with a minor flaw, the customer service was exceptional, their replies and compensation were what every great American co. should be. I love the griddle, the cover, the tools, and the basting lid. I think everything is priced fair, and high quality. I will definitely recommend to others, like Blackstone was to me by a friend, and I will definitely be purchasing more accessories, thank you
I haven’t used my griddle yet due to it being in my garage where it just got assembled. I don’t want to put it outside without a cover. I want to make sure I buy the right cover. My griddle model is 1845 which is a 36” with the fryer on the end and a cutting board on the other end. Which cover will fit my new toy? Thanks much
