Re: New Blackstone Owner - Do I still need my grill?
ford truck guy wrote: we normally take both our 17 Blackstone and our weber 2200... we just like having the option.. but to answer the question.... the Blackstone can be the only mode of cooking with no problem...... I have the same set up and agree.... I use both equally but if I only had one it would be my BS.1.7KViews0likes0Comments- 668Views0likes0Comments

Getting pretty good in the places where we travel. And I’m willing to bet there will be a lot less gas stations in 10 years than there is right now. Jmho. Now it takes me about 5 minutes to add another 400 miles of range. I'm not sure electric will be there in my lifetime.... Meh. Depends how you travel. We always stop every few hours for a bio break, lunch etc. We just charge when we are stopped. Our travel day is no longer now than when we did the same trips with a grand Cherokee. The charging thing isn’t an issue for us. Meh, most people don't want to stop every two hours and set for a while. You're a pretty small sample set.....339Views0likes0CommentsRe: GM announces their Electric Silverado half ton.

I do it all of the time. My vents point to the rear and I have Maxx covers that face the rear, so no problems. When I'm parked at home and turn the refrig on a couple of days before heading out, I make sure and let the vent fan run to keep the interior temp down and help the refrigerator.707Views0likes0Comments
