I can't believe I debated this for more than a year! I have grills, smokers and just about every other specialty cooking device. The Blackstone 36 in is a life changing piece of equipment!
In just two weeks we have made Benihana chicken fried rice, Oklahoma onion burgers, smash burgers, Full hibachi steak and chicken with the mixed vegetables and fried rice, Breakfast burritos, and a full breakfast with pancakes hash browns sausages and eggs. This flattop is the single most useful device you can get to make restaurant quality food and save money doing it. We couldn't be more happy and excited with our purchase. Thanks Blackstone for the side garbage and cutting board and towel holder great accessories for this unit. This was easy to assemble (30  minutes) and season it properly and you won't be disappointed.
