I hope my cooking experience with my new Blackstone 28” grill will be much better than the assembly. Let me say the directions were very clear and all the necessary parts arrived. Where there should be improvement is the alignment of the holes with the thumb screws. I spent 45 min trying to force in one screw. Frustrating but I did get it. My next step would have been to drill out the hole. I’ve seen other reviews about this same issue. Please resolve it.  Also I ordered a bundle with a cover and spatulas but only the griddle arrived. I did receive notification the rest of the order is being shipped.  Okay. I am ready to grill some amazing food and hopefully all is good from this point on.
