Understanding Your Blackstone
Around the Campfire
Before lighting your griddle for the first time, spend a few minutes
getting familiar with it. Learning where the grease drains, how the legs
fold, and how the cooking surface heats will make your first meal much
more enjoyable.
The Basics
A Blackstone is a griddle, not a traditional grill.
Instead of cooking over open grates, food cooks on a heavy steel surface
that stores and distributes heat.
This makes it ideal for:
- Pancakes
- Eggs
- Hash browns
- Smash burgers
- Fried rice
- Quesadillas
- Stir fry
Before You Leave Home
Assemble the griddle in your driveway before your first trip.
Practice folding the legs, attaching the propane bottle, and locating
the grease cup.
Dragonfly Tip
The burner heats the steel.
The steel cooks the food.
Understanding that one idea will make every future guide easier.
