Blackstone E-Series 22" Electric Griddle Unboxing & Assembly & First Look | A Step by Step guide!

[@Lisawatkins-ks8nm]

Thanks so much. This was hard to figure out the manual. You made it go real fast following your install.

[@David.ChristAmbassador]

Oh my Tommy, what a great job you’ve done for us all, From what you said from the beginning about taking your time is exactly what you did And your comments was right to the point about labeling the legs and stuff. I tried using the manual and hit a snag, went on KZbin and found your video Kudos!!!🎉 and a big thank you Sir🙏

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Absolutely David. Enjoy!

The 22" inch is as small as I'd want to go even cooling for two as having the dual zone feature is really useful. Just getting the e-series 22" I'm already in live but as a cast iron purist and a husband & father of nine plus the spiuses they are adding and friends I really want a classic 36". The e-series is nice for inside,outside, camping as you can run it off Eben your car battery with an inverter if not just electrical hookups, again tailgating using your car battery or deep cycle battery bank, at the park, or even during an emergency when the power is out. If you were in the military, a backpacker, or have been in an emergency you understand the morale boost a hot drink & a hot meal can be especially if you have kids. Being able to make tortillas, Flatbread, Bannock alone with some peanut butter, jelly, or honey can be such a boost and is simple. So while this is a fun home culinary item I see it serving in a multitude of potential roles for my family, but first thing first my 8 year old daughter & 11 year old son want to cook up pancakes & eggs for breakfast!

Lord this was a nightmare to assemble. I even said the same thing to my husband, they could have put stickers on everything. The tray was an absolute nightmare to figure out. We had no holes to attach it so we took leg screws out. Screws for the bottom tray didn’t want to line up. Hours later and a back ache. We’re still working on it.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

M..... Blackstone got a little lazy on this one.

[@alfordelaine5270]

hello I just purchased my 22 inch cooking grill and I used youth instructions to put it together and it really help me the first time ever assembled anything. thank you sir much I subscribed

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Thanks buddy and remember. All my griddle recipes can be made on your griddle. Enjoy

[@LeprechaunTV]

First one to unveil the 22" Tommy...good stuff man!

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Thanks brother. It looks like the perfect solution if you live in an apartment and or camping.

[@artiium21]

Thank YOU so much!! I was stuck until I came across your video! Now I’m good and it’s assembled

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Thanks bud and remember, all my recipes on the griddle will work on all griddles;)..

[@kevinrussell422]

The 17” is very nice can’t wait to get this 22”.. like you I like where we’ll be able to adjust the heat for a bun warmer side.. thumbs up Tommy keep those wonderful cooks coming brother!!!

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Kevin, Thanks brother. This things gonna be fun!

[@jimmycrackcorn7828]

Very pretty, can't wait to see you break it in. Knife arrived today, thanks again.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Cheers brother!

[@DonovanJamesOfficial]

Agree. The screws were a bit of a pain as well.

[@johnmbell4642]

Hey Tommy, I kinda like the 22 inch I look forward to you putting it through its paces backyard looks great by the way the shack fits in really nice and I’m pretty sure the side shelf is the integrated cutting board not much of one but I’m sure that’s what it is let us know have a great one🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍

[@thegalleryBBQ]

John. I'm not so sure about that because the picture on the box showing the cutting board looks different then the side fold up shelf. Ive read that the cutting board is sold sepertly.

[@johnmbell4642]

@@thegalleryBBQ i’m sure you’re right Tommy it’s just that the shelf itself looks like a cutting board I had a white cutting board with that same shape to handle it looked just like it🙂👍🇺🇸

[@BehindtheGarageBBQ]

Looking forward to that 22 Tommy!! I Just got the 17, haven't broke it out yet..thanks for sharing brother, have yourself a great week! You all stay safe!👍👊🍻🍺

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Craig. These are fun little grills. I enjoy how they work

[@Willplunk]

Easy enough to put together, The one thing I noticed on the 17" that could be better is something to catch the water that drains down the under side of the lid when you lift it with condensation on it. What don't go in the grease cup drains on whatever it's sitting on, but, no big deal, just put a towel back there.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Will you do get that condensation under the lid. Double edged sword I guess considering I love it for that steam effect on rolls;)...

[@JamesBianco-j3q]

Awesome video. Thank You. A must watch for anyone with this product.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Thanks;)

[@rogerhayslett6706]

Anxious to see max temps. I have 3 Blackstones lol. Interested in electric for sure of it gets hot enough.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Ill be using it tonight! Cheers brother.

[@johnsolberg7301]

Great job Tommy. I have a 17 E series in the rv and the more I cook on it the more I love it! I have started looking for a 22 because of dual temp zone would really help. Bring on more 22 e series cooking.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

John. I have Chicken Fried Rice out in the AM.... ;)...

[@PWS777]

John Solberg, do you use this grill outside of your RV.

[@johnsolberg7301]

@@PWS777 Yes I do real happy with it. Just watch what you have plugged in on RV circuit. if camp site has a 20 amp plug on post I run direct off that plug instead of thru the rv

[@extremecrafts4492]

Thank you so much saved me cause I was confused with the legs!!!!

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Enjoy!

[@HobiesGarageBBQ]

22 might be just what I need. Great walk through Tommy.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Dual zone's the ticket!

[@markrambow8615]

Looks like nice little griddle and you did a very good job on how to get it together

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Mark. Thanks. Wanted to make it step by step.

[@timcline3852]

Hey I like the looks of it . I'll put that with my Masterbuilt gravity 560 and never have to leave the house again .

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Tim. It's a fun cooker. I have fried rie up next with it. Awesome job!

[@bobbicatton]

My biggest question about the 22" was whether the side table folded. Answered😂👍

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Thanks. Its a tad fugazi but will see;)..

[@bobbicatton]

@@thegalleryBBQ at least you figured out it folded down! You're the first I've seen show that! It does look a bit precarious, I agree!

[@kurl1237]

Another toy added to Tommy's collection 👍

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Oh yeah ;)..... Cheers.

[@bradhelfrich6602]

Great Job Tommy 👍 we'll be looking forward to seeing it in action!

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Thanks 👍

[@TaylorsFSCooking]

Oh wow didn't know they had a 22" version. Now I'm getting the itch again lol

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Just came out. I liked the 70" but this one will be more suited!

[@Goldie_Kolyon]

Thx for helping me Assemble my griddle.. 🚫🧢💯

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Enjoy!

[@twohandsandaradio]

By looking at the box it appears the side shelf is the cutting board?

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Not sturdy enough.

[@Jeeptj1300]

GREAT VIDEO TOMMYY , WAS THAT YOUR DALE STRONG BOX CUTTER YOU WERE USING TO OPEN THA BOX LOL. KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS ALSO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE REVIEW VIDEO WHEN YOU GET A COOK IN

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Haha. Cheers Rod and as always. Thanks for the support!

[@solgonzalez5588]

Do you recommend connecting this to an extension cord cooking outside

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Youll lose juice and power.

[@jimburns1927]

Wishing you Many of happy Cooks with the new 22 inch Blackstone electric Griddle

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Cheers brother and tonight ill break it in with a good one;)...

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

nice. i like to 2 zone heating. like my small propane black stone. just bought an air fryer. so i have to wait to get 1 of these lol. look easy to assemble. what wattage is it? may have to run it of a #10 cord.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

I think it draws 1200. That said. I ran mine on a 75' extension, house to the shack. No problems.

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

I wonder if you were suppose to use the cardboard as a cutting board stunt double? I am probably wrong though------hahahaha Nice assembly Tommy!!!

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Haha. I read that cutting board will be an accessory. Makes sense considering BS is a marketing machine.

[@cypressblue8877]

Wow I was looking into the 17" but will look for the 22 one nice Tommy. Use the side table for your tongs. fork & knife it would be lite enough not to break it. Stay safe & take care of you all. Thanks for sharing eh :))

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Cheers. Depending on how many your cooking for. I recomend both the 17 and 22. Fun little grills.

[@cypressblue8877]

This is so perfect for me as no bbq allowed. Love it. Enjoy your evening eh@@thegalleryBBQ

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Pretty impressive looking Blackstone. Cheers, Tommy!

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Thanks 👍

[@findyourhappy7117]

Can I ask a favor...I'm trying to see if the 22" will fit in my RV OR if I'll have to go down to the 17" option. Can you measure the feet (W and L) ...from foot to foot....OR I see where the feet sit in the pockets on top of the rolling cart...those are the dimensions I need. The dimensions on their website is for the whole thing & I don't need the measurements for the outer edges. The more the info the better & even pics from how/where you measured from. I appreciate your time.😊🙏

[@thegalleryBBQ]

sorry i sold mine. cheers

[@johntrujillojr5794]

You forgot the rear stabilizer bar

[@paullessard1234]

Do you have a mostly recent experience about this 22"E-series black stone Looking to purchase one soon.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Sold mine.

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

Those are very cool. Thanks for this video👍🏼🇺🇸👍🏼🇺🇸 I was debating between a steel Kamado, a Blackstone, or a Pellet grill. I ended up going with the Kamado for on my deck, the smoker is not ideal for a wood deck🤣😂. I think the Blackstone is next👍🏼🇺🇸

[@thegalleryBBQ]

TPC..... You cannot go wrong with the Kamado!

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

@@thegalleryBBQ I took a chance Bro, I gave been grilling and smokin for 43 years but always on a kettle or an offset....the Kamado will be a new world to me🤣😂🤣....keep rocking these great cooks sire👍🏼🇺🇸

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Hey brother, nice job on the video. The unit looks cool with the two zones, not sure about the cart. Looking forward to some cooks...

[@thegalleryBBQ]

The good thing is. You don't need to use the cart. And I agree. It's a tad plasticy! Cheers.

[@jaybooth4815]

Nice unboxing and assembly tips Tommy! I just got the 17 inch. Can you use the 22inch model without the legs? Thanks brother!

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Hi Jay you can! Cheers.

[@kathyarmstrong9407]

I’m looking into a griddle. This really caught my eye. Can you tell me if you prefer the cast iron top, or this non stick surface? I have read pros and cons about the non stick, curious to hear your opinion.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Kathy. For an indoor/outdoor unit this is hard to beat. For just an outdoor unit the CI is hard to beat. I sold my outdoor 36" so this is perfect. At least for now;)... I got a Chicken Fried Rie out Sunday AM... this griddle did amazing!

[@dougrichardson1980]

Mine came with what they are calling a “rear brace“. The problem is that I can’t find it anywhere in the assembly instructions to tell me where it goes. Any ideas? Have you experienced this?

[@budlloyd3127]

can't wait to see it in use!

Good question and am not sure-. I mean, the surface should be ok just not sure how hot the pot or pan would get.
