Grill or griddle?

[hipster dufus]

Went to fire up the grill n found the burners in the bottom of the cabinet. Time for a new one. Do i go with a new grill or a griddle? Blackstone or weber? Maybe a grill and a griddle grate? Opinions welcome. Just 2 of us , so nothing huge.

Yes

Get you a Blackstone griddle and a weber kettle or Char-griller barrel grill that runs off charcoal.

Fire pit will grill and cast iron griddle works great.

I'm thinking a small blackstone would go well with my Akorn.

For me it's a grill 1st. I like charcoal but we are pretty busy at times. During the week I don't have alot of time to get the protein out so gas works for me and charcoal on the weekends. Blackstone comming real soon.

Blackstone, no question

 

[Deerhead]

Have to say Big Greg. Plus you'll will not have to replace the grill because it rotted out.

Get the 36 inch Blackstone and a nice pellet grill and a sweet Air Fryer and your done .

Do you have a covered area for a Blackstone? I dont use mine nearly as much as I would like because my back porch is not covered. I have a cover on it and it is kind of a pain to uncover and then clean and cover same day. If it is not going to rain, it's fine but I have been caught a few times with un-forecasted overnight popups.

I am pretty particular about taking care of my stuff. Same goes for the Akorn but it doesn't require a cleaning before covering it back up.

The good thing about Weber grills, whether charcoal or gas, is that 10 year guarantee. I have a weber gas and a kettle grill, have absolutely no complaints with either one. I also have a Blackstone 22" griddle. It's mostly me and the wife and the small weber gas grill is plenty big, so is the 22" Blackstone. I'd get both if I was you. Later on add a weber kettle grill and do your smoking or grilling on that.

You can't go wrong with a WEBER!

Blackstone griddle, Weber Kettle for hot cooks and if you're not prone to babysitting a fire for a long slow cook then a pellet grill for all else.

I got one of those fancy-pancy high dollar built in gas grills in my outdoor kitchen that I was talked into buying when we built our home. That thing collects a lot of pollen on top of the lid.

If I had a do-over there would be a flat-top griddle where that gas grill lives today and still may do that yet.

I have that exact cover for my Blackstone. Lives on the covered back porch. Love that thing. Couple of hooks inside the lid allows you to hang it off back of grill that serves as a black splash that catches any splatter.

also works good as a wind shield on those windy days !

I got seven different ways of cooking food outside, well eight if you count my cast iron. My wife thinks I'm crazy sometimes...

It doesn't take me much longer to get a charcoal grill going than a gasser, to be perfectly honest. I leave home at 5:00 AM and get home at nearly dark five days a week. That's probably about as busy as anybody else. Lighting some charcoal on a weeknight isn't a problem for me at all. And, you don't get ten-foot flames shooting up out of it when you cook more than two burgers at once.
