I dont own any type of griddle but my thinking is why not just purchase one of the stand alone griddle plates and use your camping stove with it. Seems as if it would cut down on the need for a multitude of differant types of cookware and the Coleman camp stove can be converted to run off of your trailer propane.
Just my opinion, take it for what it is worth.
In theory what your thinking is a viable solution.
Where the Blackstone shines is it's ability to hold the heat and it ease of cleaning.
If we ignore the cleaning factor The Blackstone cooks very well be cause it is a dedicated device designed to solely be a griddle.
I agree the Blackstone is not as versatile it is designed to do one thing! It performs as a griddle very well.
Much better than any multi purpose grill.
Yes it becomes one more thing to bring along ...LOL..
I would think that the Lodge stand alone griddle or one similiar would hold the heat just as well. Also, using the stove one has the ability to adjust the heat from the burners as needed.
Blackstone phenomenon is for real.
They have built a great niche item. Their popularity and category dominance speak for itself. They did not introduce or create the Griddle they just revolutionized it.
They have evolved the griddle and the form factor that many have ditched their grills totally and replaced them with a Blackstone. Or they ave added a Blackstone to heir arsenal.
Lodge products have been around for decades but they have not created the griddle craze and demand that the Blackstone griddles have created
This thread and Blackstone sales speak for themselves.
Like many others I went out and got a Blackstone.
We did not get a Lodge griddle because they simply do not deliver the same result.
Universal products seldom match the performance singular purpose items
