Order canceled. I was too late and it was back ordered But I placed it anyway at the time. Looks like another 4 to 6 weeks before it would have shipped Based on customer service representative.

Oh well.

They are out there but they seem to be very popular.....after I received mine I went back to the site and they were sold out.
I won't lie at all, it is quite a nice piece of machinery.....can I say that?
It has all the right features and I love the carbon steel........I love it so much I am going to be replacing all my cooking pans to carbon steel here in the next little bit.
I paid probably about 1.5 times the price of the Blackstone......I regret nothing.

Starting to get a few more pics of some food on it......by the time your are ready for a pic it's time to move the food.....
Diners that took me an hour indoors now seems to take me 15 - 20 minutes on the slate.

Yea I was at Lowes and the Blackstones are huge, nice with air fryers attatched?
Menard's has pit boss griddles which are also very nice, nice.
Home Depot has the Loco which has smart temp?
So many options. The MM was a one of a kind deal for me so a no brainer.
When we wear this out it will be interesting to see what's next.

I dig my Blackstone a lot.
It does have an air fryer that I maybe have 2-3 times this last few years so that means nothing to me.
If I was getting a new griddle I’d pick the best deal rather than a brand name if it saved a lot of money because they all are pretty simple and similar imo.
I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the igniters and gas valves are built under the same roof.

My 36-in slate is sitting in my living room. Ended up from a local place. Since home Depot was sold out.

how long will it stay there

 

[Darryl - swazies]

Should I tell him if it fits through patio doors or let him figure it out for himself........?

That would be funny. But luckily for me I've got double doors that open up 5 ft wide

I put it together last night and it's sitting here still in the living room. Tomorrow morning I pull it out and I start seasoning.

 

[Tony P in Florida]

Got it all set up on the back porch. This thing is built like a tank. Added one layer of seasoning. The manual said I did not have to but if I wanted to I could. So I did. I used vegetable oil.

Took the temp after the griddle stopped smoking. Hit 650° with all four burners on high.

I would slice and cook some onions. Do two to start and toss them in the trash, then grill a bunch.

I should do that. I can run out and get some onions tomorrow. I'm going to put one more layer on it first

Put some 2-3 0z. balls of burger on thinly sliced onions.
