I wold give it a 5 star rating but for the lack of support from Blackstone. They are basically no existent right now; haven't returned calls or responded to any emails. I had a couple small issues when I first got it but used Facebook groups to fix them as I couldn't get any response from Blackstone. Be prepared that if you get a Blackstone product you are on your own should shouldn't happen to it.
Even after seasoning, two bare spots show up on griddle right below heating element. Even though I grease them over and over again, they still show up as if never seasoned at all. Not sure what to do about this issue. I would've given five stars if not for this problem. Griddle does get extremely hot over 750°. So be careful.
Why is it so difficult to find a propane grill/griddle where common sense was used in its design? The body of this griddle gets dangerously hot. You WILL burn yourself. Other manufacturers double wall the inside to prevent this. Even the lid, handle, and faceplate get very hot to the touch. This thing is really heavy. There's no reason the iron griddle surface needs to weigh over 10 pounds. Also, the lighting mechanism didn't work. I had to bend the metal contact closer to the heat element to make it work. I set it up for the first time and turned it on and something inside began burning. A large amount of smoke is coming out from under the griddle surface.
