Cheeseburgers on Blackstone 28 in Griddle

She loves it when I cook. She knows I'm going to share.

Looks great. I love my Blackstone Griddle too. Poor BBQ just sits in the corner now 😆

[@RashleysBorderQue]

I still cook on all my grills, but enjoy the option to use either. When I first got the Blackstone I didn't BBQ much but lately I have been using them all. Thanks for watching!

[@d307p]

Loved the dog in the door. He smelled what you were cooking

[@RashleysBorderQue]

That was Serena. She loves to come outside, but when I am cooking and turn my back she is gone down the alley like a flash. I can only let her out when I can give her my full attention. Thanks for watching.

[@marcquintin7855]

From the looks of your dogs they sure are looking forward to their meals

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Lots of folks give me grief for feeding them meat, but they do love my cooking. Thanks for warching.

Another good one Randy! Really enjoyed watching your fur babies in the background waiting patiently for their treats!

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thanks for watching. They enjoyed their bone burgers. They won't chew and try to swallow food whole so we have be break them up for them but my wife likes it when I form them as bones. If the wife is happy, everyone is happy.

Where did u get those nice looking lids???

I got mine off of Amazon. Here are some similar to mine. amzn.to/36YdMgA If you purchase off of that link I make a small commission but you pay the same price.

[@derekwilley7295]

Go head and drop the bones for our dogs. " burger bones". Awesome. I love it.

[@RashleysBorderQue]

I took a lot of heat for feeding my dogs burger meat, but I think thats why they have canine teeth. To rip and tear meat. Glad you liked 'em. Scored me massive points with the wife for thinking of our fur babies. Thanks for watching and drop by anytime.

[@fatmoeller]

Great video just got a Blackstone yesterday can't wait to season it today. I enjoyed your video burgers looked great I agree with some of the comments of you don't have anything nice to say don't watch.

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thanks for watching and for the comment. Loving my Blackstone. The seasoning just keeps getting better. No flaking issues yet, but that is not a Blackstone issue, but rather a seasoning issue. Flamers are going to flame, but I have started ignoring them when I can. If its bad enough I delete it and block them. Hate to do that though.

Nice griddle skills.

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thanks for watching!

[@nkystevep7007]

Nice video, looks like a well seasoned flat top. The pups in the window must know there is something on there for them they are getting excited. I have been thinking about getting an outdoor griddle. Trying to decide on which kind to get.

[@RashleysBorderQue]

They knew. I always throw a little something on the grill or griddle for them. I get chastised for it by some, but I figure dogs have canine teeth because they should eat meat. I am brand agnostic so I would say either way you go you should be happy. I have some friends using camp chef and they seem to be real good also. Good luck and I am sure you will enjoy whatever you end up with. Thanks for watching.

[@brianwinston8627]

Great video buddy. I have read the comments- Please do not stop being down to earth, your natural self and having fun. I really enjoyed your video, and the food looks delicious. Thanks!

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thanks Brian and thanks for watching. Something lots of people forget is that if we all cooked the same way it would be a boring world. We all have our own way of doing things. I appreciate your comment and I try to just be me. Have a great day and thanks for the kind words.

[@jroman8198]

I just got a 28 inch Blackstone for my bday and I'm looking for ideas... Thanks for sharing

[@RashleysBorderQue]

That's awesome. I cooked several batches of bacon to help season mine, then on to burgers and more. Let us know how you like your new Blackstone.

[@ElGrecoDaGeek]

Do you have a video of seasoning the surface? If not how did you do it? I've seen some people bake there's in another grill but XL BGE is not big enough.

[@RashleysBorderQue]

ElGrecoDaGeek Sorry but I don’t have a seasoning video. There are a lot of good how to videos already out there. I washed my grill to remove any oil or shipping preservatives and rinsed it well. Then I heated it on the unit to dry and once it was dry and warm I applied a very very thin coat of Canola oil and heated it to smoking. Let it cool and repeated about 4 or 5 times and then just started cooking on it. After each cook I would scrape the grill clean using steaming water until it was clean, then after it dried, which was quick at that temp, I gave it a light coat of oil. I repeat the clean and oil after each cook. Hope that helps, thanks for watching.

[@stevemacmillan2116]

LOOKS GREAT!! Can I come over for a burger!! Keep it up, brother. Well done.

[@RashleysBorderQue]

But, but, there's nothing left. The pups ate it all. LOL Thanks for watching.

@@cowboyup545 I know the feeling. I often wish I had the 36 inch but just because I don't like cooking on a crowded griddle. We have managed to get by with the 28 so far. Thanks for watching.

[@Hp323newellst.]

I have a question what’s the difference in covering the hamburgers or not?

[@RashleysBorderQue]

@@Hp323newellst. Covering the burger helps speed the melting of the cheese. We squirt just a little water under there to steam the burger and cheese. Good question. Thanks for watching.

[@Kingmon01]

What are those pots you use to cover the food called?

[@RashleysBorderQue]

They are just called domes. Here is a link to one on Amazon. They have all price ranges from 9 dollars or so up. amzn.to/2Ktc2zS

Thanks for watching. I hope to make many more and get my videography up a notch or two. If I have everything ready before I start, I will have more time for camera work.

[@RedfishInc]

Don't get me wrong, I like a well fried burger but the perfect burger is cooked on a grill over wood charcoal. That's not to say that I would never use a griddle like this, I could see many uses for one, Sunday breakfasts comes to mind.

[@sk8rdad]

Grill is best over charcoal with moistened cedar to generate the smoke.

[@stevetice9115]

wie sagt man griddle auf deutsch

[@judsonkr]

I hate to be "That Guy" but you never want to use Extra Virgin Olive Oil for cooking at griddle temps. Its smoke point is only 375F on the high end. 325F on the low. For that griddle you should never use any oil with a smoke point of less than 450F. BTW, that is a good move putting those depressions in the burgers. Maybe you should tell the folks why you did that.

[@RashleysBorderQue]

judsonkr That's ok, I love when people are that guy in a polite , constructive way. Thanks for the suggestion. I have asked on many forums to see what oil people are using. I get answers from evoo to grapeseed to soybean to whirl, (butter flavored soybean oil). What do you recommend? As you know the intentions are to keep the patties from puffing up in the middle, but being my first cook on the griddle, I got more and more forgetful as the cook and video went by. Thanks for watching and for the suggestion. Feel free to provide helpful tips anytime. I appreciate the help.

[@judsonkr]

Am loving your videos and cannot wait to start cooking on my Blackstone. Of course it is getting into the mid 90s here in Houston so I am not sure how much cooking I will be doing. See the attached chart. For those temps I would start at Corn Oil and move up from there. As I said, I have not used the griddle yet but I have a small bottle of Safflower Oil standing by. I will see how it tastes. www.seriouseats.com/2014/05/cooking-fats-101-whats-a-smoke-point-and-why-does-it-matter.html#comments-292645

Hey Randy, great video my friend. I mentioned a couple months ago to my wife that I would like to get a Black stone to cook on, and I just kept it in the back of my mind. My Birthday was May 27th, and what shows up at the door, yep! She got me the 28 in GRIDDLE. And I (we) absolutely love it!!! WHAT GREAT TASTE!!! I don't believe I will ever use the grill again. lol. We have cooked something on it every night since it arrived. I just gotta say we have a poodle with food allergies but we can get away with giving him some things but I've gotta say, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE DOG BONE BURGERS!! LOL!! GREAT JOB MY FRIEND!!! ENJOY!

[@RashleysBorderQue]

It's funny because I break them up before feeding them to the girls. They just try to inhale them whole. I have truly enjoyed my griddle and the hamburgers are juicier than any I have cooked. Your story is interesting. Sometimes fate is good to us. Thanks for watching.

Good job. I bought my black stone years ago and it has burners that I can use if I take the griddle off not the tubes that came later is that what you have?

[@RashleysBorderQue]

No, mine has the tubes. Thanks for the question.

[@jahmarko]

why did you put water arround the burger meat? to give moisture and juicy?

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thanks for watching and for the question. I put water around the burger which turns to steam. Then I covered it with the dome and the steam helps melt the cheese quicker.

[@jahmarko]

Genius!

Thanks for watching. Burgers off the griddle are really tasty.

[@MrFlores78]

Great video what did you do to season your griddle before your first cook. thank you keep the camera rolling

[@RashleysBorderQue]

I washed the griddle with soap and water. Rinsed, rinsed and rinsed. Then I lit burners and dried the griddle completely. Let cool, and coated with olive oil, heated on medium until the oil quit smoking, turned off and let cool. Coated with olive oil again, heated on medium, etc. and repeated 8 times. After last cycle, I oiled it down with olive oil and thats it. Some folks recommend flax seed oil, but I didn't have any and had lots of olive oil. Thanks for watching.

[@RonnieSandifer]

blackstone has youtube video showing how to season griddle. They recomend flaxseed oil. Acording to there vid which I followed and it works great you wash new griddle with soap n water the heat it up to high heat and add little flaxseed oil rub it on outside of the griddle as well but just a thin coat and leave heat on high for 15 mins till it stops smoking then add little more n leave heat on high for 15 more mins and do that 4 times. Acording to them you never turn the burners off of high for this whole 1 hour process. It worked great on my griddle

[@annemarie7142]

Thanks for the video! Canola oil (also known as groundnut oil) and avocado oil have very high smoking point. I recommend any of those.

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thanks for the advice. I picked up some canola oil last week but haven't cooked with it yet.

[@mikerogers9711]

I got my 28 about the same time, LOVE IT, mine has the rear drip port. Like the short wall in the front better then the drip tray.

[@traceydaugherty6956]

Are you putting water on with the clear bottle

[@RashleysBorderQue]

[@RashleysBorderQue]

The black grill to the left of the patio door is a Yoder YS640 Pellet Grill, the stainless grill to my right was a Napoleon 500 and it was just a demo unit for me to try out and to make some videos with. Behind me is a Good One Heritage Oven, charcoal smoker. I use a soft cover on my Blackstone with a large bowl under it to hold the center up and help water drain, though under the patio I seldom get water on it. Thanks for the questions and for watching.

[@AK-uy1vm]

@@RashleysBorderQue That's awesome! Thanks. So we have a charcoal and also a gas grill...Would like to add the griddle as a daily use item...Do you recommend the Blackstone rear grease? Or is there another brand you may think is better? Also would it be easy to convert the orifice to natural gas vs propane?

[@RashleysBorderQue]

@@AK-uy1vm Sorry I can't help with gas conversion. I heard Blackstone was working on a modification kit but you would need to check with them. Camp Chef also makes a nice griddle but I haven't tried one so can't comment. I have heard mixed comments on the rear grease port, but again, haven't tried or even seen one. Wish I could help you more, but I just don't want to speculate on those that I haven't used.

Im learning bout cooking- whats in your bottles--OO and water??

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Exactly. It's some EVOO and water. Use the water when you need to steam something and the oil just like you would in a pan. I also use the water to help with griddle clean up. The steam really loosens up the stuck on food. Thanks for watching.

[@mwood65]

SteveCleans I use the Kroger version of Pam spray. It comes in several choices of oils.

[@MrNihilist74]

How hard is it to clean these Blackstone grills?

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Not hard at all. While it is still hot, I spray some water on which raises the crud off the surface, scrape with a spatula and wipe down with a cotton rag. Then I apply a little oil and spread with rag. Takes just a few minutes. Important to cover it after it cools. I didn't the last time I used it and now I have some rust to clean off. I will sand off the rust, clean well with water and some heat and then apply oil and go through a seasoning process. If I had covered it I would not have to do this though.

[@richwisner9618]

[@joeworden825]

I'm torn between the 28" and the 36". My wife would say the 28" is fine, but we all(guys) know an extra 8" never hurt. My biggest concern is.....I'm moving to Wisconsin and the humidity/snow/rain. I'm not sure there's enough oil to keep the griddle from rusting.

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Joe Worden I bought the 28, but now wish I had the 36. If doing it again I would buy the 36. If you keep it oiled after each use, keep it covered, and put something under the cover to hold the middle up so it sheds precipitation you should be ok.

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Good tips! I am thinking of getting one of the solid covers and then covering that with the soft cover. It will help keep the soft cover from sagging and help it shed water better. Just an extra thought.

Thanks Rusty. Being my first time cooking on a griddle I found that everything happened so much faster than with BBQ. With low and slow I have hours to contemplate my next move. With this griddle It was wham bam your done man. If you noticed I was kind of talkative in the beginning, then started to get quiet. Inside my head I was thinking, man your behind the curve here. When I started editing I realized that I quit talking to my audience and was just trying to keep up. LOL. I cooked patty melts today and did much better because I had everything ready to go before I started. I decided not to video it and concentrate on workflow. I will be doing more vids on the griddle soon and will make sure to video the final product. Great idea about the dogs. If you noticed one of the girls was at the patio door watching most of the cook in eager anticipation. Thanks for watching again and again amigo.

The chime in the background is annoying. Im curious as to why so much water? Are you trying for a steam effect of the food?

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thanks for watching. The steam speeds the softening of the onions and speeds up the melting of the cheese.

[@fizixx]

Oh ok, I was wondering if that's what it was or if maybe something else. Thanks, and happy grilling. :)

[@sk8rdad]

I also massage ground onion and garlic powder right into the meat before cooking. At least you press the center to prevent bloating and blead...

That sounds awesome. There are so many ways to season burgers. Thanks for watching and sharing your ideas.

[@brentturner7232]

I notice that you have the 28 inch griddle. That's the one I'm looking at. Is there any reason to move up to the larger 36 inch one? We don't have a big family, and I probably wouldn't be cooking very much when other friends and family visit. Plus, there's almost a $175 difference between the two. Your thoughts?

[@RashleysBorderQue]

I have had plenty of room on my 28. Tough call though. There have been times when I wished for the 36, but 90 percent of the time the 28 is plenty of room. I would bet you would be ok with the 28. The extra room is mostly a convenience thing.

[@brentturner7232]

Thanks for the quick reply.

[@hammerslap5639]

the reason to go to a large griddle is that you can hang one end off the side to have a cool spot for keeping food warm and such. i love having a 3 burned griddle on a 2 burner stove. Its less about having more room and more about having more temperature options for me.

[@2manyinterests2count]

I've been on the look out for the best onion burger forever. Finally found it at Kay's Diner in Wagner OK. She went out of business a long time back and after a lot of research.. i'm thinking it's in the seasoning of the grill. The older and more seasoned the better. How did you do yours? I'm thinking a lot of oil, fat and onions! rinse repeat... I'm looking at that same grill. Happy with it? Great job on the video and you are lucky I didn't smell those things all the way in OK... you would have to throw another one on!

J&W Grill in Chickasha, enough said

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Sorry I missed your comment way back when. The onion burgers sure were good. I season the grill with whatever oil I have handy after each cook. Lately either grapeseed oil or canola. I would have cooked one for you if you had been here.

[@2manyinterests2count]

@@RashleysBorderQue I ended up buying the blackstone. I was more asking about first seasoning. What I ended up doing was ordering beef tallow on amazon and seasoning it with that about 4 times with a few onions chopped up then switched to bacon... butter.. really got it looking good. since then I've done onion burgers many times and succotash, fajitas... just keeps adding character to the seasoning. I clean it between stuff but I don't scrub off the seasoning. I basically take off all of the burnt crumbs.. then coat with a little veg oil to keep it till the next time. I bought the hard steel cover for mine. Everything is amazing cooked on it. LOVE IT!

[@2manyinterests2count]

oh, I got the bigger 32"? I think.. or 36? can cook for a small army!

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thanks Dr NGO. I just do what I love and want to share it with those who like or want to do the same.

[@Thejrb11]

The dogs eat better than I do!

[@zekeleonardo48]

not sure if you guys cares but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend these days =)

[@kacekristian5178]

@Zeke Leonardo definitely, been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself =)

[@adamaustin3373]

Also, why do you push in the middle of the meat?

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Good catch. That dimple in the middle of the patties keeps the center from puffing up. If you don't do that it might puff up in the middle and look like a flying saucer instead of a hamburger patty. An old chef's trick. It helps it stay flat.

[@adamaustin3373]

Rashley's BorderQue thanks for quick reply, also where did you get the 2 covers? Who makes them? I am new to flat top..I am a new subscriber also. Great videos

[@RashleysBorderQue]

amzn.to/2thMIqu is a cover similar to the ones I purchased. I earn a small fee if you purchase after clicking the link even if you choose another product without closing the browser. It does not cost you anything extra though. Thanks.

[@chadkrebs6846]

Looks delicious, thanks for sharing

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thanks for watching.

[@kaygeeboi]

Huge ass meat patties, I like your style.

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thanks for watching. Bigger is better, at least to a point. LOL

[@skippyjones2077]

Hey what’s going on Randy hope you’re doing well today... I love Burgers 🍔 and love the Dog Burgers lol YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY 😋...❤️👍☮️✌️

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thanks for watching. I got ripped for feeding my dogs meat but my opinion is that's why God gave them canine teeth. They don't have molars for grinding. Thanks Skippy, they loved them.

[@quirozj31]

Why does everyone cook with olive oil? I thought the smoke point was low and creates carcinogens in your food?

[@RashleysBorderQue]

What oil do you cook with? EVOO has a smoke point of around 375 to 390 and I cook at about 350.

[@Alaska-Jack]

Good looking griddle! I’m coming over this weekend.

[@RashleysBorderQue]

C'mon over. Thanks for watching.

[@blyndonmclaughlin9071]

Thanks for giving us your time and videos. Great channel!

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thank you and thanks for watching.

[@MangoRiotness]

i don't get the oil with the burgers there is enough fat in the burgers why add oil?

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Yep, thanks for watching. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. It depends on how much fat is in the meat I am using and whether the griddle has been sticking or not.

[@MangoRiotness]

gotcha thanks bud

[@stevecleans]

I'm going over and pick up a 36 Blackstone today

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Great choice. If I had it to do again, I would go with the 36 also. You can never have too much room on the grill or griddle. Thanks again.

[@hiyou2587]

nice video, one day i hope to follow in your foot steps.

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thanks for watching.

[@mossonax]

I love your wind chimes.

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thank you and thanks for watching. We have two sets of them. One in front of the house and one on the back patio. In addition we have a bunch of smaller chimes along the front of the house. People call my wife the chime lady.

[@TheRealJoeyB]

How are your attack dogs doing?

[@RashleysBorderQue]

They are all awesome. That's Serena at the glass door, and we have Blossom and Violet standing guard inside also. If I don't bring home snacks they try to gnaw off my ankles. LOL We have Queenie bringing up yard duty. They all loved their Doggy Bone Burgers. Thanks for watching.

[@korbynnuncio1328]

nice vid

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thank you and thanks for watching.

[@korbynnuncio1328]

Rashley's BorderQue looking forward to more videos

[@Crunk0091]

This is epic, doggie bone patties and world famous small burgers 🍔! The only thing I would critique is leaving all that cheese on the griddle, that needs to go on your burger!

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Hey Crunk, I agree. I melted the cheese too far and it ran off the burger. Even with that they were delicious. Thanks for commenting and thanks for stopping by. By the way, the dogs loved the doggie burgers.

[@bryanball8909]

That sure was a lot of water. I would of cooked the burger in that residue from onions

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thanks for the thoughts.

[@lalingg.p.exotics3510]

Randy is your pancreas working?

[@RashleysBorderQue]

It sure is. Thanks for watching.

[@przepisyjoli]

Super!

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thanks.

[@Ronrook1]

I season my meat before I put it on the griddle. Hamburger seasoning, mixing up a finely chopped onion, parsley or cilantro. All goes in the meat first.

[@RashleysBorderQue]

That sure sounds good. We love onions. Thanks for watching.

[@hungry4205]

Whats your favorite thing u cook on it so far. Love the video btw

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Hungry 420 Burgers would be my favorite with fish coming in a close second. Thanks for watching.

[@hungry4205]

Rashley's BorderQue. I like the crane asada street tacos and bacon wrap hot dogs with grilled onions on them. So delicious😎😊. Can't wait for the fish vid tho

[@RashleysBorderQue]

[@michaelclancy4509]

Your making that YS-640 jealous..

[@RashleysBorderQue]

That old YS is going to have to realize that variety is the spice of life. haha. Thanks for watching.

[@timothykuharich9967]

Looking good bud, I got the 28" at home and the 22" for the boat. You need a scraper for the clean up it works great. Keep on grillin

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thanks for watching. Yep, I want to get a longer scraper. The one I have has too short a handle and the steam gets a bit hot on my hands which is why I am using the spatula to scrape with.

[@marieeeje]

You reading the temp is mandatory like, nice

[@RashleysBorderQue]

I do like to temp the burgers. My wife doesn't want to see any red juices or pink meat so I have to take hers to a higher temp than mine. Thanks for watching.

[@Vabasseroutdoors1]

Subbed and smashed the bell

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Thank you so much.
