Well, given the current warm weather here in the GWN, I pulled the trigger on the Blackstone Range Top Griddle Combo yesterday. Should be ready for pickup on Wednesday. That gives me just about enough time to cobble together a hazmat suit to wear when I pick it up. :-)

All your gear in that outside cooking area is going to have to scooch over to make room. That's a nice problem to have.

Blackstone Range Combo Griddle
Went to Wally World today for the pickup. Didn't need to go into the store, just phoned, gave my name and which pickup spot I was parked in. 2 employees wheeled it out and loaded it up while I stood at least the required 2 metres away. I had also ordered the steaming lid and their griddle tool kit. The tool kit came with a little 30 page recipe book which I assumed I'd likely just toss, but a lot of the recipes sound really good, and it has really good photography. I'll be making some of them for sure. For now, the griddle is going to stay in the back of my SUV since I have no real plans to leave the house and I don't want to have to move it twice. Assembly on either Saturday or Friday if I decide to play hooky from work. :-)

The unboxing and assembly has begun. I'm doing this in spurts as it is currently -2 C here and I need to keep coming back inside to warm up my hands. I should have probably waited until later today as it is supposed to get up to 9 C but I really want to get this set up and seasoned today so that I can do smash burgers on it for tomorrow's Stay In Cook Out event! :-)

Took me most of the day because it was pretty cold when I started so I was working in spurts, and, even though it turned out to be a gorgeous mild day, I had to work on it between meetings. :-)
The assembly was really a breeze and the only thing I required help from SWMBO was lifting the griddle/lid assembly on. Only had 2 little small problems:- The holes for the screws that hold the magnetic door catches were drilled a little small. The catches are on, and hold the door but I'm going to drill out the holes a bit more so I can get the screws turned all of the way down.
- One of the doors is a little bit crooked. That really won't bother me but I know it will drive SWMBO bat shit crazy, which means I definitely need to straighten it.
Fully assembled.
Heating up for seasoning
Smoking away! The sun wasn't really in a good place by the time I got done.

I'm so glad you got that griddle in the midst of this crisis, pkadare . There's nothing like a new toy for a fun distraction, and you seem to have started it out right. Continue to have a good time with it.
I'm inching closer to purchasing a Steelmade griddle for use on my Summit gasser or Camp Chef patio gas range. The rationalization is hard, since I don't eat breakfast (coffee is enough for me) and my hubby is a bagel/fruit/coffee sort of guy. I'd only make breakfasts on it when the kids come to visit, which isn't any time soon. The Grill Grates, flipped over, work fine for my smashburgers, etc. So it would be just something else to try to keep clean in an outdoor environment. My only solid rationalization is that I just want to play with one.
That's why I'm watching you enjoy your new Blackstone--maybe I'll land on another good rationalization.

jfmorris , I did consider the Camp Chef large griddle, but I went with the SteelMade product for the gasser, since the heat distribution is more uniform.
I'm still working on a way to contain the splatters from my Camp Chef gas range, since I cook on the deck. A griddle in a gasser has plenty of surrounding surfaces to catch those splatters.

Good points Kathryn. How is the Steelmade working, or do you have it yet? I griddled on two of those griddle panels a couple of weeks ago, on my Genesis and there was grease all out of the grill on the side table at that end and front control panel. With no lip at all it would be a real mess.

Blackstone Range Combo Griddle
So my Blackstone adventure continues. The Rangetop Combo that I purchased is a Walmart exclusive which I knew going into this. What I didn't know (but still wouldn't have affected my purchase decision) was that unlike Walmart US, Walmart Canada apparently does not carry the Blackstone cover that is made for this unit. I almost went ahead and ordered a really big, generic gas grill cover, but decided at the last minute to go a different route. I signed up for MyUS which provides me with a US shipping address (in Sarasota, FL) and ordered the cover from the Walmart US site. Free next day shipping and when it arrives at MyUS they will notify me and then I fill out a shipping request on their site, and they send it to me. A little convoluted, but since I currently don't have the griddle under cover at all, a necessity. :-)

This whole process is going smoothly, perhaps too smoothly? :-) I placed the Walmart order on Wednesday, the cover was delivered to the MyUS site in Sarasota yesterday, it has already been transferred to FedEX and the estimated delivery date to Bobcaygeon is Monday. Easey, peasey. I'll definitely keep this service in mind for the rare occasions that I want to order something from the US that I can't get in the Great White North and that the vendor can't or won't ship here.Last edited by pkadare; April 3, 2020, 02:46 AM.

Where did you find that? How much $? I need something to keep the sun off when grilling & smoking in the AZ sun.

SmokingSteve I found this at Waiyfair.ca for $192 CDN. They carry it at Wayfair.com as well and it is currently 35% off for $122.99 USD. https://www.wayfair.com/outdoor/pdp/...001376425.html
