BBQ Flattop Griddle

Curveball. So don’t swing and miss.


Get yourself an outdoor griddle top. I was late to this game, and the reason for this post is that you don’t arrive late here yourself.


There are several to choose from.  

My favorite and the one I absolutely love and adore is the Blackstone 36 inch griddle top.

There is not a diner around that does not have one. Most restaurants too. It is the most versatile cooking surface. And the advantage for you is that you are moving the heat and the mess outdoors.


There is nothing you cannot cook on it.

What grill do you have that can cook all of the following:

  • Breakfast
  • Eggs
  • Pancakes
  • Bacon
  • Rice/stir fry
  • Smash burgers
  • Veggies
  • “burnt”
  • Steamed
  • Sautéed 
  • Seafood
  • Fish
  • Shellfish
  • Breads
  • Meats
  • Starchs
  • Potato
  • Hash browns
  • Noodles 


It gets better, more seasoned as you use it. It is easy to take care of. It will last forever.  


It is the only outdoor grill I have that uses propane or gas of any kind.  


If you do get it, get the hard cover for the grill surface, and as an added layer of protection, the cover:

Return to Your Babyhood Remember the good old days when you were a baby? When you never gave up, regardless of how many times you failed. What happened to those good old days? When you were learning how to walk, you fell down each and every time. On average 17 times per hour. Hundreds if not thousands of times. And what did you do? You got back up. Each and every time. No questions asked. Never taking failure as your final answer. And then, you succeeded. You never doubted yourself. You never overthought things. You never got in your way. If you are now doing these things, preventing yourself from succeeding, getting in your own way, doubting yourself, overthinking things, stop. You can do it. You have done it before. When you had far less capabilities and knowledge and support. Wishes for another great day, each one a gift, David/

Failure or Revelation? You never fail at anything, and that is the truth. What you are doing is revealing to yourself an area of improvement. It is important to realize this, because if you are not failing at something, you are not challenging yourself adequately. And if you are not challenging yourself, how do you make yourself a better person tomorrow than you are today? So please, fail at something often. Be a better person each and every day, because, Each day is a gift, David/
