First off this is my first ever outdoor griddle so i have no idea how it compares to a Blackstone or other brands. All I can say is my first experiences with it are pretty good. I did make sure to do a seasoning session. I did 6 layers of Grape Seed Oil for my seasoning and it seemed to work pretty well. It is only 2 heat zones but the burners are U shaped so it covers a lot of area on the zone. Based on the color and my first cook only the corners were cold so it makes fairly good use of its 22" area. Heated up fast and included an adapter for larger propane bottles. It is nice to know if I forget about refilling propane I could just throw a small camping bottle on it. It talks about being portable and using the small bottles on the go. I am not so sure about that. It is pretty heavy and takes up a fair amount of room. I think a Coleman 2 burner stove and griddle plate might serve you better unless it was to be dedicated for tailgating on the back of a truck. It think it will do great for me as I find out if I want to really spend money and get a 300 dollar griddle but this is great entry item for the time being. Does come with a great cover that stretches over the griddle and keeps it pretty good. I figure it won't last to terribly long but as I said for the price its a entry item so if I can get 1-2 years out of it while I save up for Blackstone or another one I will be doing pretty well.

WOW! This is much nicer than it looks. Easily gets up to 500* and seasons beautifully. i use the blackstone seasoning grease. the best thing is that it uses a blackstone propane connection so i can use the blackstone adapter hose with regulator instead of the stock propane connector with the hose. Unfortunately it will not work with the blackstone adventure ready leg kit. So i just put it on a cheap folding workbench and it's perfect. It took all of 5 minutes to put together. There's a small chrome piece the directs grease into the grease cup and I put it in upside down. The assembly photo shows the correct orientation.

I LOVE this thing, I seasoned it as instructed in booklet (7 or 8 times) and tonight I cooked my 1st steak on it. I always used my pizza oven to cook my steaks. WOW, the sizzle and the flavor was perfect. When I finished I used the left over oil from my steak to gain season the griddle!

This works just as well as a higher priced brand!
