what tools do I need now?

Get the wind shields. Keeps the flames from being blown out during a windy day.

I will throw in with the advice already given, a big of Terry cloth dish rags that you consider disposable, unless you like gunking up your washing machine with bits of burnt food and grease. I use them for cleaning and wiping the flattop when cleaning and seasoning. A wet rag with a spatula or tongs is VERY useful for cleaning the hot griddle. Then a clean one for wiping with oil before calling it a day. I buy a big bag for like $20 every other year at Sam's.

Great tip on getting the towels at Sam's. I just looked online and my club has a pack of 60 terry towels, size 17x14 for about $25. Are those the type you are talking about?

[jfmorris]

OC Sandy yes that package looks like what I am talking about. I just keep them in a bin with my grilling stuff in the garage, and keep 1 or 2 in with the griddle tools. I'll usually keep one for the next cook if just used to oil and wipe things down, then kill that one at the next cook when I use it with steam/water to clean food debris off the griddle.

Panhead John Went to hook up the fuel gauge and it didn't allow any gas through. Guess I'll have to put a new one on my list.

This is the one I have and it’s worked well if you need a suggestion.

Don't overthink. Blackstone, spatulas and scraper for cleaning. Squirter bottles. One for oil and one for water. Watch FlatTop King videos on cleaning and maintenance. You'll be all set.
I should note I have the full insert for my Spirit.
I see folks are adding items for propane. I'm bulk installed to my 500 gallon underground tank. Open valve push ignitor. Never run out, auto fill from the supplier.
