Wife made me do it

[Back9Q]

So a little over year ago wife mentioned blackstones because her parents got one and the smash burgers were tasty. Never really thought anything of it because I didnt need one until yesterday when she wanted smash burgers and pulled the ol if you got blackstone we could. Well we attempted them on parents electric griddle and turned out ok. Today sitting around and started thinking that I went about this all wrong. Wife was telling me to buy a new grill and I was telling myself not needed. Well today I drove myself to wally world and picked up the basic 36”.(didn’t want the fancy ones with air fryer etc).

Seasoned and doing philly cheesesteaks tonight for maiden voyage

I can see many enjoyable cooks ahead of you. Congrats on the new addition and having a wife that insisted you buy one!

 

[JbTech]

Solid add.

Griddle does many different things!

 

[Stingerhook]

Your really blaming your wife?

 

[Back9Q]

I have to give her credit for this purchase. I feel like have complete setup now. 24x48 insulated offset, komodo kamado, blackstone

You could have made smash burgers in a cast iron pan on the kamado, however what were you thinking? If the wife tells you to buy a new grill, don't argue, go get it!!

And there is a cast iron throw down going on until the end of the month….just sayin

Didnt get any pics during cook but oh man did these turn out amazing

Toasted hoagies on griddle followed by little mayo. I used meat slicer on ribeye and gave it a nice shave. Mixed in green pepper and onion with 3 slices provolone. Topped it off with cheddar cheese sauce

Nice Philly cheesesteaks. But I can guarantee you - you'll have many great cooks on the flattop. In 30 days you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. You'll agree after the first big breakfast cook.

Looks like you are settling right into that thing. The wife wanted it more than I did too. Took about year before we finally pulled the trigger and very happy we did

 

[TravelingJ]

I don't use mine nearly as often as I should, but it is without a doubt the most FUN cooker I have.

Mine was also something that the lady pushed for. She wanted me to cook fajitas for her nieces baby shower, and she bought it for me. In hindsight I'd have rather bought a bigger one, or one that folded, or one that had a lid, etc. But, it's still awesome and has great results.

Thanks for this thread. Do burgers cooked on a Blackstone taste the same as those cooked over gasser fire?

 

[SweetHeatBBQnSC]

That sandwich looks amazing, and you "only" did it to because the wife left you no other choice.

No. If cooking smash burgers you get a very nice crust that is different from a grilled burger. Think steak n shale style
