This might sound like a cop out but why did you buy this thing? I know I preach every week about charcoal cooking, and yes charcoal produces some great burgers.
If a griddle has been allowed to rust, it can usually be restored. However, it’s going to take lots of elbow grease and much more time than a well-maintained griddle.

This is going to be a winning recipe for your summer season, as it’s just too perfect with its flavors and ingredients. It’s remarkably flavorful with lots of veggies and cheddar sausage that are perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. You are definitely going to keep this recipe in your back pocket.
Gas is a great fuel for griddle cooking because it burns hot, clean, and efficiently. Smaller grills can be powered by one-pound propane bottles or grab an adapter hose and larger propane tanks for extended use. The larger griddles require a 20-pound propane tank. For starters, Blackstone griddles use innovative designs to improve upon the otherworldly versatility for which gas griddles are so well known. We’re talking pancakes, French toast, eggs any way, crispy bacon, sizzling stir fry, completely caramelized steaks and burgers, seared sausage, juicy chicken, and so much more.

There are more griddle offerings to choose from than ever before, and they are packed full of features unheard of in flat-top grill cooking a short time ago. blackstone grills are designed for outdoor cooking only and even with good ventilation are not appropriate for indoor use. When Blackstone made its first flat top griddle back in 2008, the company intended to create a better cooking experience for the whole family. Coyote offers a lifetime warranty on the griddle plate, stainless steel frame/housing, and stainless steel burners. Electric and plastic components are covered for two years… And there’s a one year warranty on the valves and ignition system.
At the same time… Economy options tend to lack in the longevity department. The use of lower-cost materials put these outdoor appliances out of commission quicker than you’d expect. Blackstone’s griddle top is made from carbon steel.
After falling in love with my 22″ tabletop Blackstone Griddle I reached out to the company and asked them to jump on board as a sponsor of the RVFTA Podcast Network. We only work with companies that we love and trust, and Blackstone fit the bill in a major way. This griddle was fast becoming like my fourth child, needing constant love and attention. The heat (created by two burners on the 22″) distributed so evenly that I was no longer serving pancakes that were burnt on one half, and undercooked on the other.
