Griddles are awesome!!!! Yours is a perfect size for a big eater or a couple of people. I've been thinking of buying the small 22" table top blackstone for my father.

I recently bought the 36" blackstone for myself. First, i am a purist. I have a Holland, but it never gets used. In fact, it is stored out of the way most of the time. Instead, I use my BGE for everything. I wanted a griddle. I started researching them, and found that the Blue rhino (Lowes) is probably the best way to go. My local hardware store has the blackstone, so that's what I got. Shop local and all.
The problem is the tables on the side make this thing too huge for storing. The blue rhino tables fold over the griddle top and make a cover. I had to buy a $70 metal cover, and the $40 fabric cover. I put the metal one over after cooking/cleaning, while cooling down. Otherwise, it would be covered in pollen in fifteen minutes. Hamburgers and hotdogs are so easy on it. Breakfast?!?!?!?!?! Are you kidding? My 9 year old daughter had company this weekend, and I fed a house full of little girls and the two adults, and cooked everything on the griddle at the same time. Pancakes, scrambled eggs (in a cast iron skillet on the griddle), hashbrowns, and sausage. The pancakes are amazing!

Oh yeah, I can't buy one of those electric griddles. They give off a toxic chemical when heated up real high, and it can kill my African Gray. No non-stick teflon pans either.

I'm loving the griddle life!

Swellin. My wife bought a flat cast iron griddle on sale. I seasoned it and when I smoke BBQ I put the griddle over the firebox and make bacon first then either cornbread fritters or pancakes. the smokey flavor is INCREDIBLE! (Also the fact that they are cooked in bacon grease)
