Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So I FINALLY got around to ordering this griddle and I gotta say 'm glad I did! This thing is amazing! You can cook anything from pancakes to burgers on it and there is plenty of room on it (28 inch model) to cook for a large family. I cooked a dozen burgers on it and had room for at least 8 more. The one concern I had was the grease drainage issue that others have had. I looked at several grease mods and decided I would try one of those. However it appears Blackstone has tried another way to help this situation. In the pictures I have attached you can see the changes Blackstone has made. First off there is no longer a "drain hole", second they added a welded "knob" on the bottom of the drainage tunnel at the end, and last (see pictures) they angled the drain channel upwards so that it doesn't automatically drain into the drain pan. Basically you will get some grease built up in the grease channel and all you gotta do is use a couple paper towels on some tongs and push the grease down the channel into the drain pan. This has worked well for me so far and I didn't have any issues with grease going down the front leg of the griddle. I do wish that Blackstone would have just put a drain funnel tip at the end of the channel that pushed the grease towards the drain pan, but what they did will also work fine. I have cooked three times on it so far and didn't have any issues with grease building up in the channel to the point I had to clean it before being done cooking. What I did was just push it down the channel into the pan when I was cleaning my griddle after cooking. If you are considering buying one do yourself a favor and go ahead and click that "add to cart" button, you won't be disappointed.
