After comparing and contrasting the usual griddle suspects I purchased the blackstone out of convenience. It arrived with the Box dented and my concerns wer realized after opening to see a slightly bent frame. Fortunately the metal is thin and I bent it back no problems. The grill is amazing it Cooks everything breakfast lunch and dinner that we enjoy. Follow the seasoning instructions or Google them and it should work great for you too. My favorite feature is the mobility of the grill, the Caster wheels move the grill effortlessly. We store and use it in two different places so this has been a really good feature for us. The paper towel holder is a bonus and I would recommend it is well. Very happy we purchased and looking into the smaller versions now.
