Seasoned as directed. Warping was visible at that time but I used it twice since with somewhat satisfactory results. Price ($100) and the front clean-out were the reasons that I bought Sam's rather than another Blackstone 22 (death by Hurricane) but I may return the MM22 as the domed middle is bothersome. Too bad as it is a great Griddle otherwise.

Perfect for tailgating and camping. Like that is is a flat top griddle. can cook variety of foods without worrying about food falling through grates. Grease trap works great. Love that it is easily cleaned because it is a drawer in the front of the griddle and not a pan hanging on the bottom.

I purchased this product for a Fathers Day gift yesterday. He opened the box today and found the bottom edges rusted and the cook surface mottled and in poor condition. Though the box was filled intact and factory sealed, the griddle looks as if it's been sitting out in the weather for months.

Used this griddle for 9 days while camping. Cooking 2 meals or more on it a day. Went through 7 one pound bottles. Highly suggest adapting to a bigger bottle. This thing chews through the propane. Cooks well but does lose heat quickly when using water or pans for smash burgers. However it makes a mean breakfast. Would recommend if your not interested in spending Blackstone or name brand money.

this is a decent grill for this type at a great no-name-brand price but some important notes: 1. it comes coated with some 'oil' that stains everything black. scrub this off. you don't want it on your food. take it outside with a good scouring pad and some soap and hose it and scrub it off until the griddle is completely gone. 2. 'season' the griddle like you would a cast iron pan. lightly coat it with oil. turn the burners on high for 30 minutes or so. turn it off and let them cool off. repeat 5-7 times. if the griddle feels sticky after it cools off, burn it again without applying oil. because of the uneven heating it might take a bit. alternative, fit the griddle in your oven and season it in there. oil on top surface only! only clean it with water from now on, no soap! 3. get a 1lb to 20lb tank conversion hose. ideally one with a 6' or longer hose. this griddle will devour those 1lb tanks. a 20lb tank is more economical and less waste. 4. only use wooden or silicone tools on the surface, metal will scrape off your seasoning. 5. a hand-held IR thermometer can be useful for checking temperature. mine hits just over 600 over the burners, but 250-300 in the far corners on high after 15 minutes. easily make breakfast on this, grill burgers, it actually makes good hand made pizzas if you tent foil over the top and watch carefully, i heat it up medium-high for 20 minutes, slide a 12" or so pizza on with a wooden peel, watch until it's done and pull it off. great camping or tailgating!

This is a great grill but you need to do your research about them. First of if you get the Colman propane bottles it will last only 15-30 minutes. If you want to hook ups 20 gallon propane tank you need to get a hose with an adjustable regulator to work properly. Otherwise the 29 gallon tank forces the propane out to hard and won’t light or lights up for about 2 seconds. I bought three regulators till I got the right one now I can adjust the flow properly to the grill can handle 1-10 pounds of pressure. This is the regulator I got 30PSIG. Hope this helps. I would send pictures but they not allowing me to.

Bought the grill a few months ago and followed the instructions for breaking in and seasoning the griddle. Unfortunately, I realized this ended up warping the griddle portion. Read some reviews later that said to do this differently and add heat slower. The instructions heat the griddle up too quickly which causes it to warp. Otherwise, love the adjustability of the griddle and the grease trap in the front. Very portable as well, we take it in our camper.

I just bought this griddle, easy assembly. I wanted to get it set up properly before I went out and bought the propane. I noticed the griddle surface was not flat, it bowed in the middle so I couldn't get it really level. How would food cook in the oil if the oil always went to the sides? I am very disappointed, it isn't like any flat top I have ever seen.

My husband and I love this griddle. We used it on our last 10 day trip to the desert in our RV every single day. The Blackstone hose fit perfectly to plug directly into RV propane port so no need for 1# propane bottles. I wish it had a hinged lid (not the protective cover) for melting cheese, etc.

Since its rolled iron, it is extremely heavy and not really good use for camping. I have used the green Coleman propane tanks and i have used the hose to attach a regular propane tank and had 1 issue. I have one burner on high and its effective, when i turn on the second burner they are both on the high setting and the flame is extremely low and a small breeze turns it off. It only worked once with both burners on high only with the green tank and by the time i used it again it was past the 90 day return policy and now im stuck with this heavy useless griddle.
