Blackstone Adventure Ready 2-Burner 28" Propane Griddle with Foldable Locking Legs

i bought this to cook 10 ribeyes at the same time for a family cookout. it worked a lot better than a grill. i use it every weekend for breakfast and sometimes other meals. i highly recommend buying the lid (purchased separately) and the waterproof cover (also purchased separately). in fact I would not buy this without them unless you plan on keeping your griddle covered 24/7 or it will rust. don't forget to season your griddle plate with high temp oil and heat. i did use a jar of the blackstone griddle seasoning which is mostly palm oil. save some money and buy yourself a bottle of avacado oil and use it instead. it will last much much longer and be much cheaper in the long run.

Everything was fine up to when I assembled the unit. I followed the instructions and began to season it to prepare to use it and then I found the imperfection. There is a raised metal weld that sticks out three quarters from the right. Every time that I moved the rag to clean and put the oil on the cook top it snagged in that area. I used a spatula and it got cut up also. Along with that frustration when I would lightly cook over that area I would have to go around that area to cook. Because if I put a heavy item like a steak it would get stuck there too. So you can appreciate my frustration. I took the unit back to Walmart and they gave me another one, no questions asked but instead of taking it home without inspection, the sales agent and I opened it. We discovered another flaw in the unit. So, the sales agent advised me to write to the manufacturer to see what they could do or opt out for a refund. I told him I would write the manufacturer to see what they would advise me to do.
