How to carry blackstone griddle

Iโ€™m asking how do you wrap/store/contain the greasy top when you pack up to move on. I bought the 2 burner and wish now Iโ€™d gone with the smaller unit.

If you are talking about puddles of congealed grease, agreed. You should always scape off the excess.

But assuming you didn't cook something with a lot of water that could strip the oils or strong spices that will taint the next meal...just scrape clean, a little water on the hot griddle if there is stuck on food and make sure it's dry. A thin sheen of bacon grease works just fine to protect it for a few days between uses.

I had the 17" model and just cleaned and wiped the griddle, packed it in its carrying case and put it in a storage bay.

I now have a 22" with the hood. I just clean and wipe the griddle, close the hood and set it in the storage bay next to the Green Mountain pellet smoker and gas grill.

I clean my after each use. And especially before I pack up to move on.

Not that hard. Why would you want to pack a dirty/greasy top?

This might be a little weird but it works for me. I have a plastic bin with lid, big enough for the 22" Blackstone. After cleaning the griddle I cover, just the cast iron, with one of my old $9 WalMart 2XL sweatshirts. I put that in the bin first and put the lighter base on top of it. Neither sit flat in the bin, they go in at an angle then the lid goes on.

Youtube has many videos on how to care for your griddle and how to clean and maintain it. I have the 22" and it has the metal hood attached so I put it in the back of my truck stacked on the folded stand and it rides fine. I use it at home so when we get back it gets set up again ready to use.

As others mentioned clean it with heat and water.
I have a lid on mine. I also have a carry bag that is large enough to hold the entire grill with closed lid. It all packs away very easily.

I clean it after each use. Buy a cheapo scraper at a dollar store and a squeeze bottle for water. When you're done cooking and the grill is still hot, squeeze water on the cooktop. It was steam up and start cleaning. Scrape the grill top with the scraper. Continue this process until its clean. Let it dry, put it away.

The 22" is better because it has higher BTU (helpful in wind) and the option for 2 different temps for searing steak, then slow cooking, or cooking eggs on one side and potatoes on the other, or sausage on one side and peppers and onions on the other, etc.

I have the 17" Blackstone with a lid. You can add the lid on any of the 17" units, not just the one Blackstone says, see Youtube videos for simple instructions on how make that happen. I carry the griddle in a Royal Gourmet bag that fits nicely and has pockets for the small propane bottles or other stuff.

We have a large heavy duty plastic bag to store it in when it's cool. The 17 inch works best for just the two of us. We have the nylon carry bag for the base. We carry it in the storage compartment in the slide that used to have the TV in it. We moved the TV to the garage.

I clean my 17 after each use. It has a cover that I just close.
