A couple of questions; How do you bring dirty stuff back in? You wouldn’t want to shove dirty spatulas back into a fabric container. My solution is a plastic dish tub from a restaurant supply place. Everything goes in (tools and such). Then goes back in dirty. I also keep my paper towels, foil, gloves, thermometer, and rags out at my work station. I have a really cool giant old metal first aid kit box that mounts on the wall. I also keep a smattering of spices, salt pepper and such out there too. I am fortunate to have a covered area to work in. I like the idea of a carrying caddy for the oil and specific spices for dish. I always have the platter or containers for my raw product, what I always forget, then remember almost too late, is my serving platters. It always is a mad dash back into the house or a shout out to the wife (always popular). So if you can come up with a solution for my forgetfulness that would be great. This was a fun video to watch to hear how others manage the struggle of an outdoor cooking space. Because that struggle is real.

Very nice video... Have a weber genesis ii and a q-grill (late father's old grill)... just very recently got a blackstone 28-inch griddle to complement the grill, so I can sauté onions, sear asparagus, maybe one day do pancakes, etc.; everything you couldn't get away with on a grill with slats is what I want to eventually do on the blackstone... I just got the blackstone caddy shipped to me... been buying up a lot of the tools/accessories too... I might have considered the tool bag idea, because I am OCD too (Aspergers) about mis en place (every thing in its place)... but, cuz o' the Aspergers, I *also* want a "set" to be a "set"... in other words, It's all blackstone... I keep it all blackstone... like you wouldn't get a Chevy accessory for a Mercedes... So, I have a battle in my head right now: bring the caddy back or not to do the tool bag?... I wouldn't have as many spices as you; but I *do* have a few more handled tools and cast iron press and hamburger press than you had for your demo... a dredge and a round basting cover.... Subscribed to your channel... how do I see more blackstone secrets from you? and would I get notification a new video is out? Nice job explaining...
@NextWithDave4 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching and especially for taking time to comment! I can appreciate your dilema. I too, like sets but also like everything in its place. Since I made the video, I've added containers to the BS caddy. I went to a dollar store and bought a couple of large round plastic jars and cut the tops off to the height of the caddy. Also bought a retangular plastic basket and cut it to fit the caddy as well. With those, I have the option of putting handled tools in them but still keeping the open area as needed. Use your imagination and I'm sure you'll be able to make the BS caddy work for you with minimal added cost. Good luck, Dave

With both hands free like with the second one you can push the grill or the griddle itself around in case you have to use it away from the house, but still have to store it buy the house when not in use. That way you could take the supplies and the grill or griddle out to where you need it to be at the same time. Then the only separate trip would be for the food itself probably then.

That Blackstone caddy has some odd and disappointing design decisions. I suspect they will get some feedback and come out with a new model. They put a lot of emphasis on using only Blackstone accessories which is limiting. The side compartments are sagging from day one. The handle awkwardly attaches inside where it blocks items. The webbing has no lower edge to limit the tools from traveling down. No dedicated storage for the most common items: spatula, tongs, thermometer. They just wrapped a milk crate in nylon fabric and put it out there. Any weekend griddle guy couldn’t design a more usable tote. The fact that the Harbor Freight tool bag does a better job at less than half the price is further proof that some people will buy ANYTHING they slap a Blackstone label on
