Hopefully for the next 2 million pages? We will not encounter any issues.....although, I may not be holding my breath....

I say let's
try it. Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
A perfectly good flat top grill that someone never bothered to clean up and left behind....to be trashed out. This thing cooks QUICKLY and is the freakin' Bomb!!!
No complaints so far. Price was right. No issues. Basically, brand new and it cooks like a dream. Much quicker than anticipated. Total cost? Eh, around $60 for the restoration, with all accessories and everything I would ever need for it. Even came with a propane tank that was 95% full.
Stupid people do stupid things....and they wonder why they are in debt.

Nice Tom! I wouldn't buy one, but for that price.... golden!! 😉

Within 16 minutes of walking out? I had a pound and half of sausage, 8 eggs, a pack of bacon and homemade hash browns all done and I was walking back into the kitchen. Done deal.....and it was better than anything I had cooked on cast iron (multiple pans) inside...
....as the biscuits were cooking in the oven.
Perfect timing. Everything was hot. Fresh, and exemplary. Next up? Fried rice and fixin's...there is plenty of room and the cooking is QUICK! Holy, moly, it was quick! Clean up was even quicker. No complaints.
Even the wife was impressed. (So was I, TBT)

I love it when breakfasts are cooked on a flat-top grill at restaurants.
Hash browns seem better too. Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

Students in a classroom aren’t the only ones who need cellphone bans
Midtown High School principal Betsy Bockman holds up the magnetic device that will lock cellphone pouches on Monday, July 22, 2024. Students will be required to put their phones into the pouches when they arrive each morning and will not be able to access them until the school day is complete.
Last week, a group of students from Decatur High School narrowly escaped a tragedy. The students were almost hit by a car when they neglected to do one of the most important things their parents probably taught them to do — look both ways before crossing the street.
The reason? They were all looking down at their phones."Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"“Fa sol sol la la fa sol la ...

@treitz3, your story reminds me of a time I pulled up to drop trash at the dumpster 25 years ago when I still lived in apartments, and found a rusty but solid cast iron Dutch oven sitting next to it. I snatched it up and it probably only took me 20 minutes of sanding, heating, oiling, scrubbing to get it in working order. Still have it.
That's a nice looking flattop griddle. Is that Blackstone or another brand? I've thought about adding a one to my collection of outdoor cooking gear, but I've resisted so far. Nothing beats it for smash burgers or making a nice hot breakfast for a group. I spent years through college standing over one or more of those in various restaurant kitchens. Really though, I almost never cook for more than 3 these days and I can manage that on the stove for the most part, but doing a decent amount of hashbrowns is tough in 12" cast iron skillet.
For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore... -

It is a Member's Mark from Sam's Club. While I have never used a Blackstone but with the performance of this unit? No need too. It outperformed every expectation (and I am no stranger to flattop grills). It looks to be their largest model.
20 years ago, this is how I got a pressure cooker too. Someone had burnt a meal in it, sat it outside and left it for years. That took me a while to restore but I used it for about 15 years, until a spring broke on the wiggler part (forgot the correct term for it). No replacement for that but it was a workhorse while I had it.
The flattop works like a charm and honestly, it mimicked cooking food over a camp fire on cast iron. That, I was not expecting.

Speaking of flattops, I had one in 3rd grade
(Stock photo, I was better looking)
But to keep that short hair vertically aligned, you used a product called "Butch Wax"
The Butch Wax now is imported from Asia
where, due to some confusion from the language barrier, the product now contains high levels of estrogen
The FDA is investigating

@mrbigbluelight
That is awesome!!!
I had the same "look" and used the same hair wax.
I had forgotten about the Butch Hair Wax.
Thanks for the memory.

2 carbon steel pans, seasoned and rarin' to go! The beeswax coating was stripped this mornin'. Avocado oil was used for the seasoning. Cooked and cooled, along with another seasoning of the flattop.
They will not look like this for long....ready to start cooking and comparing this to the ol' trusted cast iron...
