Upgraded from 28" Blackstone to Camp Chef Gridiron
Upgraded from 28" Blackstone to Camp Chef Gridiron last weekend. Took advantage of the Dicks Sporting Goods sale and picked up the Gridiron for $400. Been cooking on it every chance I get, what an upgrade! Absolutely LOVE the Gridiron so far. Cooking is so much easier being able to maintain lower griddle temps without cycling burners off/on, not to mention the Gridiron has a much bigger "sweet spot" as it heats more evenly. Also didn't realize how much I'd appreciate a hinged lid. Easier to establish hot/warm temp zones with the larger surface and 4 burners too.
I bought the 28" Blackstone last spring as my first griddle to see if I'd like cooking on one. I fell in love quickly and by the end of the summer was already researching for upgrading. Came down to Gridiron or 30" Slate. The $400 sale price and larger cooking surface of the Gridiron sold me. If I wasn't budget limited I'd have bought a 36" Slate without thinking twice. But funds are getting tighter by the month these days and must say the Gridiron has exceeded my expectations so far.
