FWIW (nothing, I suspect!) here's my take on Blackstones.
I agree the 22 is a better model simply because it has 2 burners and 2 possible heat zones.
Seasoning the griddle isn't very difficult, but is necessary.
Watching a boatload of YouChoobs on how to use a Blackstone, it looked pretty easy. Bunch of redneck types like me, chattering away as they deftly whip their food around on the Blackstone like a graduate from BeniHana. Well, no it isn't that easy -- you have to learn the skill required. I flung a lot of food onto the floor, chased it around the grill, got plenty of messy looking fried eggs, and got plenty of expensive steaks looking good on the outside but raw in the center.
My biggest tech issue is getting the darn thing up to its proper high temperature. Seems there is a tendency for it to close the LP regulator when starting it up.
All in all, I like the Blackstone, but for me it is a work in progress. I like my Weber, too!
