We bought this at a local store and it sat till I could season it. (Winter wasn’t the time to do it in the snow) Boy now that I have it going, we are enjoying the meals that I have fixed on it. We had been eating to go meals to help our local places during this Covid-19 situation, but now I’m wanting to try something new every night. Sure brings back memories from about 48 years ago, I was a 2nd chef at a golf course and bowling alley restaurant and learned flat top grilling at the young age of 18. Totally this compact 17” Blackstone grill brought me back. I love it!!
