Man, seeing all these people getting a new griddle or talking about them has given me MCS
As some of you might know, I own a townhome with no yard, and just a smallish patio outside in the front. My kitchen is also kinda small and my only vent is the worthless microwave style, which blows it back into the kitchen. I’d like to be able to cook on a small flattop occasionally in my 2 car garage or just outside of it.
Here’s what I’m looking for, a small propane or butane flattop with a side burner. It can be a standalone, but I’d like to find something maybe on a collapsible or folding cart. I have a place in my garage to keep it against the wall. My space to store it will be about 33” wide, could go 36” if I had to. I’d like something that wouldn’t stick out more than about 18” from the wall.
I’d love to be able to do some stir frys, burgers, philly cheese steaks etc. I never do those because of the smoke it would make inside my house. And I hate firing up the kettle all the time just for some of this. What I’m looking for has to also have a side burner so I can use my CI for blackened ribeyes, fish or whatever. I’d also like to be able to fry foods on it. So, I need one that will be able to get the oil hot enough for frying as well.
I found a small 17” Blackstone at Walmart ($179.) that would work for me, if the side burner would get hot enough for deep frying. I can’t tell from the description. But I’d also prefer something similar on its own cart, if it’d fit in my space I have….again, is there something out there like this that has its own stand or cart and would fold up? I also don’t need anything bigger than a 17” because 95% of the time I’ll be cooking just for myself. Thanks for any suggestions. Here’s the Blackstone I’m referring to and a picture of where I’d put it in my garage.
