Blackstone 36" - First Cook Part I

[Huskee]

Nice! I'm getting more & more desirous of one o' them.

[Mr. Bones]

By all means, Stay Away!!!!
Ya'll Hate It!!!
(Hey, I tried, Brother!)

I resisted fer like fourteen Forevers, all th $247~ sales went away, thought I was good. Was kinda proud of myself fer not cavin...
Then, a Member posted they was $199, Free Ship.
I fell right offa th Wagon!

[HouseHomey]

Boom!!! Tha ole chefs knife will sharpen and hold just fine for another 15 years besides. They are the workhorses of yesteryear and tomorrow.

HB out!

[Mr. Bones]

Yer right, Chef Holmes; they jus keep gittin it right, year after year!!! Both them pictured, I've had/used professionally, an at home, for several decades. Fancy? Nope? Shavin sharp? Yup. Reliable, every/any time? Big 10-4! Works fer me, bettin ya got some similar, that are yer go-to's , huh?

[Mr. Bones]

Once I had th veggies n bacon lookin like I wanted em to, I jus sorta scootched em over to th cooler side, dragged some more bacon/sausage grease outta th corner, an smeared it around to make a happy landin place fer my dozen of eggs...


Then, I throwed my dozen of eggs up on there, mixed in with th prepared veggies n bacon bits.
Most of em immediately ran right over to th corner where yall see th bacon grease pooled up, above, so I had to do some corallin with my spatula, repeatedly, until they started to firm up, some.
(Actually, that was a good thing: it meant I had my surface temp down to where it needed to be, an they did not immediately flash off, or stick. )

I only got a few egg cookin shots, cause I was powerful busy, corallin...

[Mr. Bones]

(Paper)Plated Pics:
So, how did it all turn out / come together?
I'm glad ya asked...
I hit it overall with a smidge of Dalmation, an a quite few liberal shakes of Texas Pete It's how I roll, hereabouts.

[Mr. Bones]

Oh, yes, indeed, Brother! I had already been up 6.5 hours, at final pic point, it was ~90° in th shade, which me an my griddle were not in, an I was a touch thirsty.
Actually, th Guinness was never finished, cause after we all ate until we were debilitated ( Neighbours, their dogs, my other neighbour's dog, Smokey, an my self), we all had a good nap, to git ready fer th next round.

[bardsleyque]

it's like coffee only beer!!!!

[jgreen]

Dang that looks good!

[bardsleyque]

That is one fabulous looking breakfast! I want me some!

[Mr. Bones]

Shoot, I didn't know....
Sorry, brother, fer not invitin ya....
Yer certainly welcome, from here on out...
Good news is; this was jus a test!
Next time(s), there will be taters, cheese, an other goodness involved.

[Mr. Bones]

Oops, thanks, as well, fer them kind words, brother! Means th world to me..(Helps me preserve th fantasy that I can cook)

[bardsleyque]

Well thank you kindly sir
If I find myself venturing towards the Kansas territories I'll try to give you fair warning!!!

[Livermoron]

Man...that looks good!

Watched a friend punch up some hangover breakfast on a Camp Chef griddle. Definitely need to add something like this to the patio...

[snowswamp]

That is magic. Pure magic.

[Deaf Arty]

Dang, Mr. Bones. I know MCS is incurable, but up until your post I've been able to resist a Blackstone. You're killin' me heah.

[Mr. Bones]

I do fully unnerstand, brother...I fought like the Devil, resisted fer months...then, they went on sale fer $199/Free Ship. A man, even an ol Seabee, can only take so much!

[realdocBBQ]

Well, I was about sold. At $199, I wasn't going to resist anymore, but it seems they've gone back up nearly everywhere. WalMart is at $250 and that's the lowest I found. Dick's Sporting Goods has it at $250 with 20% coupon for any purchase today, but as for me, I'd rather go without anything than to buy from them. So if ya'll see it for $200 anywhere, let me know.

[BourBonQ]

A fella that knows his way around a flat top! Outstanding looking cook!

[Frozen Smoke]

Superb job Mr. Bones looks fantastic! I was wondering about taters but that looked satisfying enough. I've been using the Simply Potatoes in the bag they work excellent on the griddle and are a great time saver over prepping regular potatoes and taste just as good.

My Dad gave me a tip on making fluffy scramble eggs a long time ago. Add 1Tbs. of Club Soda per egg and whisk it in. Really adds a nice fluff to em.

[gcdmd]

What, no biscuits and gravy?

[gcdmd]

Only kidding. Great job all around, Bones.

[realdocBBQ]

Not sure about makin' gravy on a griddle, but I guess you could always throw on your cast iron on the griddle as well, for some extra versatility, huh?

[smokenoob]

This is the beginning of a beautiful relationship..........

[RonB]

Ya got my stomach growlin' now, and we are out of eggs...

[Thunder77]

Looking great there Bone-Daddy! Yer makin' me want a griddle really bad!!

[Larry Grover]

Looking good man. You should be on the Blackstone commercials...drinking beer while saying how great it browns up your breakfast sausage.
