Over the years, I've assembled smokers, grills, and cooking devices from the big names in the industry. Most of them either took hours to put together or had terrible instructions. I recently acquired a 36" Griddle Cooking Station from Blackstone and was a bit skeptical when it came to the assembly. Was I pleasantly surprised when assembly out of the box took a grand total of 15 minutes! The best part was that all the holes were drilled in the right places and everything fit securely.
After setting up the 36" Griddle Cooking Station, I was immediately impressed with aesthetics of the product. The black powder coated steel frame looked impressive and substantial. The Cooking Station weighs in right around 125 lbs. The 55 lb griddle cooktop reminds me of restaurant flattop grills.
The next thing that impressed me was the electronic ignition. The spark comes from a AA battery. It's the best ignition I've ever seen on an outdoor cooking appliance. All four independently controlled burners produced beautiful blue flame instantly. Within 10 minutes, the rolled steel top was heated and ready to go.
I've cooked elk burgers and sausage, bacon, eggs, potatoes, onions, and quesadillas on the Blackstone Griddle. Not to sound redundant, but this thing works great! The cooking surface gives a caramelized coating to the outside of burgers that seals juices and flavor inside. Hamburger buns are toasted to perfection. It makes the best sauteed/grilled onions you've ever had. Just sprinkle some vegetable oil, add onions, and watch the magic happen.
The Cooking Station has three good-sized shelves to hold all your supplies. The unit sits on four industrial strength caster wheels, two of which lock, so your downhill neighbors don't end up enjoying your dinner. The huge rolled steel griddle top provides enough space to cook for a larger crowd and conducts an amazing amount of heat. So whether you're cooking dinner for a small family or burgers for 20 of your closest friends, the Blackstone 36" Griddle Cooking Station can handle it. Two thumbs up, 5 stars, standing ovation, and whatever else I need to do to let you know how much I like the Blackstone 36" Griddle Cooking Station.
