I was looking for something portable to take with camping after my roadtrip grill stopped working. I bought the 22" blackstone  because of the rave reviews on various camping sites and I could not be happier. Ease of use, ease of cleaning, portable, great heat distribution across the entire griddle, and it makes me a better cool...sold! We like it so much that wife and I are going to get a 36" for cooking at home.
