So far I've used this cooker twice. Once I made Bacon, Eggs and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches! It took noticeably longer to cook the Bacon Vs. on the outdoor model. It still tasted good but not as good. The grilled cheese sammies were delicious and I noticed no difference to speak of but the Eggs were super hard to flip because of the slippery surface. I also made Sliders from hand made Burger Patties. They tasted awesome and were easy to do but were not as good as when I do them outside, yet they definitely tasted better than using a frying pan, so there's that. The cooker is easy to clean and the top APPEARS to be something that will last assuming it's cleaned properly and used properly WITHOUT METAL UTELCILS. There are noticeable hot spots right in the very center area of the cooker top. It's to a point that you really need to move things around to equal out cook time and searing. It's not hard to do but I wish it wasn't that much of a difference. In the coming weeks, I'll do some experiments to see if I can increase the searing capability. So far, I'm not really impressed. That's all for now, check back here often!

We've used this griddler for a variety of items including steak, fish, vegetables kzbin.infoUgkxMcXT6_MuT0hB3ejyGQQHaeof9bwoWPUf and mushrooms and it's been great! Gets that great smokey flavor when using high heat or sear. The grill works amazingly simple and very low smoke for what it is. Heat gets up fairly quick, especially on closed position. The griddler side is fairly simple, better for eggs and pancakes rather than any cooking. Use the flat plates with the grill side if needed.Cleanup is easy and having heat on both sides is great for cooking a large amount or panini press.This definitely gets hot though so be careful with the sides.

I have had the 17" version for about 8 months and love mine. I am in Wisconsin and I understand the cold, but I still use and store mine at my outdoor kitchen. One of my favorite things to create on it is Fried Rice. You can get so creative and add whatever you have for leftovers in the fridge and mix it all together and have deliciuos food. I use frozen Cauliflower Rice (walmart brand for 1.97) instead of cooking up abunch of rice.

[@EverydayBBQ]

Lol well I’ve used it a couple times now. It’s not as good as cooking on the outdoor model, mainly cause of the different griddle top material. Cold rolled steel is definitely better for flavor and sear. This is better than a frying pan though so it’s still very nice to use!

[@bobholst874]

If someone releases a steel griddle for the e Series, it would be great! I think the titanium bleeds off heat too fast. Pancakes don't do nearly as well as on the gas series. Steel is able to live longer than the fangled "non-stick" which eventually fails. Steel lasts darn near forever!

[@travisgrizzel7460]

I bought this product during the middle of a long roadtrip in my camper, with the idea of using it to make my family things like pancakes, smashburgers, etc. I purchased this in Westminster CO at an ACE Hardware, and am now about 200 miles away trying to use it for the first time. It won't even hardly cook pancakes on it, and simply putting the batter on the flattop instantly drops the temperature. When it tries to raise the temperature back up, the flat top shuts off and then turns itself back on. Next I tried some thin turkey bacon. After 30 minutes of this, and the grill shutting down and restarting 6 times, I eventually threw the bacon out. Given that I bought this on a road trip, I called Blackstone to try and remedy. After waiting on the phone for nearly 30 minutes to talk to someone, I was told they couldn't do anything and my only option was to turn around and drive 200 miles back to return it. This is an appalling customer experience, and after reading reviews on various places, it seems like this product is just fundamentally flawed and multiple people having this issue. I will never buy a Blackstone product again. Crap products and a crap company.

[@fatmongo]

I have a propane Blackstone for tailgating that flames-out if you look at it the wrong way. I'll swap it for this beauty as long as the outlet in my truck bed can power it. Love the ceramic, looking forward to seeing more.

[@EverydayBBQ]

Thank you very much for watching, Steve.

[@danhigbee2283]

Have the Black Stone propane 4 burner early model were the grease drain is out front. Going to add metal to correct that. Regulator went bad went to propane dealer got a adjustable regulator like a turkey deep fryer to get more heat. Was told 2 to 2 1/2 on numbers regulator max. Really brought it to life. Had a rally for union hall. 250 hot dogs and 200 hamburger in about 1hr. Dogs about 30 at a time just rolled back and forth with a spatula. Burgers got a nice crust then flipped just unreal how a little more heat did the job. Tilted griddle with wood under the wheels to aid on grease removal. That setting on regulator was with all burners wide open big difference you can turn down the individual burners. You don't want or need the burners roaring like jet probably not end up good you can overheat burners use common sense ( hard thing to find nowadays) understand manufacturing company protecting themselves but it solved underperformance of the regulator which was probably going bad.

[@garryhammond3117]

Love your closing "I'll see you on the next episode". So... First - I totally love Blackstone! - The Non-stick care warning should actually apply to any non-stick surface - NO METAL. Living up here in "cold" Canada, I have tried and tested a number of indoor grilling options - who doesn't "urn for a burger" in Feb? Needless to say, grilling anything indoors with fat in it, or added to it, is going to cause enough "smoke" to set off your interior home smoke sensors. Solutions include placing the grill on top of your stove and cranking the hood fan to MAX - also, upgrading the hood fan to a more powerful unit will help (400+ CFM). Opening a window will also help, but at -20 this will also cause your furnace to kick in. :) - Bah!

[@EverydayBBQ]

It honestly seems to produce more of a steam than smoke. Of course, it will take a while to really determine if there are issues caused from using it in an area without an exhaust fan. Overall I think it’s good for what it is but I see many people wish it was better. I’ll reserve final judgement until I’ve got a few more cooks under my belt.

[@fd4340]

I believe from other videos I've seen, once you turn knob to desired temp, push the knob and it will lock the temperature

[@dominic0257]

I bought this about 6 months ago. Youre right about the bacon. But I notice if i cook it on high it good great. I also fixed salmon. And the wife always fish pancakes on it.

[@EverydayBBQ]

I’ve done a few cooks on it now. I definitely like it. It’s certainly not the same as the outdoor model but it’s good enough to get the job done and I have only a few things I’ve noticed. I’ll do a full review soon.

[@honestnewsnet]

The griddle on mine slides back and forth and wobbles. Mine is in place but still slides and wobbles. I'm currently using a quarter on each side wedged under each foot.

[@KilllerPenguins]

Just came across this as I recently got the outdoor Blackstone and love the idea of having one inside and just having options. The one thing that kind of made me laugh and really didn’t see anyone in the comments mention is that this says it goes up to 500° but then you have the 3 piece griddle kit that says, Heat resistant up to 400°”. So what would you use if you were cooking over the 400°? Lol

[@EverydayBBQ]

It doesn’t get up to 500. Maybe 425-435 if I remember correctly.

[@KilllerPenguins]

@@EverydayBBQ thanks for taking the time to reply and figured it prob wouldn’t get to 500°. Was still a little funny. Thanks again and for the great content!

[@KellyBradyPilot]

One thing I am not hearing anything about is when you close the top and re-open it where does all the condensation run-off when the lid it open? Is there gutter than then diverts it into the greece tray?

[@abc-wv4in]

At first glance this looks like a good idea, but the steel griddle seems to be the magic in the propane version. I can't convince myself this is any better than cooking on a griddle pan on my kitchen's cooktop. ???

[@paulhughes3961]

You said the one word that makes me not want to buy it "ceramic coating", that's a no go. Why can't they just make it out of steel!

[@ryker4718]

looking to get one of these, you mention smash burgers in the video. have you tried them on here? was the sear good?

[@EverydayBBQ]

It really doesn’t get hot enough. It’s a neat little cooker for when you don’t feel like going outside, but overall I give it a C.

[@SouthernStyleLawnCare]

How did you end up liking the griddle? I am thinking of getting one for indoor use when I do not feel like using the outdoor griddle. Is it worth the money with the ceramic top? Wish they made it steel. Thanks

[@EverydayBBQ]

It’s useable but the food is not as good as an outdoor griddle. It’s not bad but not great.

[@campnut6076]

Good initial review Mike. Only thing I see that raises a red flag to me is the nonstick coating. My wife has given up on nonstick coating pans and went back to good ole cast iron, so far every one of them has eventually started to peel off. Will watch for a longer term review in the future. Thanks for sharing.

@@EverydayBBQ You and me both my friend

[@mayer7196]

Heating elements are strong enough. Takes forever to hit 500 (20 minutes) and when you add stuff to the griddle it drastically drops temperatures and takes forever to get back up. I am not the only person that says this, look at all the reviews. Blackstone needs to recall all of these until they get stronger elements.

[@EverydayBBQ]

I’ve used it three times and can’t argue this at all. It still gets the job done but could be better. I’ll definitely include that in my full review.

[@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. The dimensions on their website is for the whole thing & I don't need the measurements for the edges. The more the info the better & even pics from how/where you measured from.

How was the smoke? that's my only concern doing bacon or burgers on this inside you're gonna smoke the kitchen out or have the place smelling like bacon (which for me is a bonus, my wife not so much) lol

[@EverydayBBQ]

Lol well I’ve only used it twice so far but there have been no lasting effects and honestly I’d say it’s more of a steam than a smoke. The griddle top is like cooking on a non stick frying pan but slightly better. It’s not nearly as good for sear and flavor as the outdoor cold rolled steel tops.

I was going to purchase But I saw videos on them, I wasn't impressed with the outcome of the searing, too bad though I wanted one but didn't satisfy need or use for it.
