I put a split 7-bone grassfed Hereford prime rib thru the grinder last weekend for Father's Day. I got a stainless 36" Blackstone for my gift, and this seemed like the ideal maiden voyage. Did the initial burn-ins and seasoned, followed by 3# of bacon to get her greased up. Bacon-Onion-Mushroom-Swiss on ciabatta rolls. Bet you can guess which one is mine.....

Oh yeah, nicely done sir!
My grill is on its last legs and I’ve been eyeballing a Blackstone. I know this is your maiden voyage with yours, but how do you like it so far? The results look encouraging.

I really like it for the surface area for big cooks. But I also agree with what I'd previously read in its one shortcoming; doesn't get SCREAMING hot for the absolute killer sear you want sometimes. I can live with that, though. We have 4 kids at home, so being able to make enough pancakes or burgers in one shot is a big plus for us. It won't replace my wood, gas or charcoal cookers, but it's a nice additional tool.

Looks good! I have the Blackstone smash burger press – better than the one used by the SmashBurger restaurants. The second photo in this link provides a better idea of its size.
ETA: I should’ve mentioned that it’s ~1/3rd inches deep, so makes burgers that thick. Both surfaces are completely flat and parallel to each other. The side smashed against the griddle gets a delicious crust. You put a sheet of parchment paper over the ball of ground beef to prevent it from adhering to the smashing tool. Here’s how it’s done at SmashBurger (two minute video):

Oh wow, can you block certain other members like SIG-229SAS from seeing this? He will want to try this out. No, really, that does look delicious, I kinda hope he sees this.

The wife and kid got me a Camp Chief Griddle for Father's day least week. I broke it in Wednesday with some smash burgers. Wife loved them! Said they were the best burgers I've ever made (and I grill a LOT of burgers).

The Burgers look fantastic!
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

The burgers look great. Don't know that I would make them out of that piece of beef. Id slice the roast into steaks and grill them over cgarcoal.

I dunno, I can’t fault the man. Sometimes you want a steak, sometimes you want a burger. Sometimes you want an amazing burger, and using a fine cut of meat to get there isn’t something I feel I can disapprove of. He made prime rib burgers on his father’s day gift. Who am I to second guess?
