OFallon Mo.
Sure am happy I did . Been sitting under the cover on my patio for the last year and a half . I was out of propane and wasn't making any trips that I did not have to .
Just a small spot of lite rust on the outside of the return . Took it to the garage and cleaned it up .
I've been using it for all kinds of cooks . Makes a great hot dog . Reminds me of the Ball Park franks at Busch Stadium .
Anyway , these make great food . First cook was sliders . Then I had some bottom round I sliced up for a sandwich . Had some leftover stir fry last night .
Those are the cooks I took some pictures of . Wasn't going to post them for certain reasons , but with the " new " section here goes .
Heating up , then steam of the cook surface . I do that before every cook too .

Re oiled . Good as it was when I left it last year .

Throw some ground meat on . I was out of brisket , so had to go with store bought .
I like to have that cooked spot to press on after the flip .

Add some onions .

That's how a dog should act around " people food " At my house anyway .
I don't try to eat her food after all .

Squirt of water to add some steam , add some cheese

Then cover with the top bun . Then the bottoms .

Always good .

Don't usually like to go so long , but here's another .
Sliced up a bottom round and an onion . Used some store bought steak butter my Son gets .

Coming along nicely .
20210529_181917.jpg 20210529_182703.jpg
Could have used some more onions for my taste , but that steak butter really came thru .
I didn't need anything else . Great sandwich . Air fryer fries .

Not done yet , hang in there .
I've posted about Petite Tenders / Teres major steaks before . So We had that for a meal one night . Green beans and some potatoes my Son made .
I used those leftovers for a stir fry meal last night .
This is a plate from the original meal .
20210531_182305.jpg
The leftovers , potatoes cut into strips . Had some rice from a few nights ago .
The rice dried out is key to this . My first time doing it like that . Makes all the difference .
Also had some leftover chicken breast that my Son used . His was chicken , stir fry noodles , broccoli
some kind of spicy sauce he buys , cabbage and peppers . He put his all together in that bowl ,
then dumped it .
20210605_165324.jpg 20210605_165330.jpg
His all mixed and dumped , I started mine with the beans , onions and taters
because I wanted some crisp on the potatoes
20210605_171913.jpg
Add the pre cooked beef and leftover rice to my side with a squirt of sesame oil .
He's mixing his around , and man it smells fantastic .
20210605_172256.jpg 20210605_172258.jpg
Mixed mine together , his is about done .
20210605_172520.jpg 20210605_172526.jpg
Right before plating I added about a 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce and 1 stirred up egg .
Should have used 2 eggs . Didn't get a pic of his plated . This was so good .
I mean I do pretty good most days , but this was way up there fantastic .
The hot surface of the griddle and the pre dried rice makes all the difference .
Really surprised me .

Thanks Ray . I love it . I need to get it set up so I can use it like you have yours . The front drain is a challenge sometimes , that's why it's in the garage .
Best way to use leftovers .
 
Looks most yummy.

I ended up giving my BS flat away.
Thanks for the comment Rick . I haven't used it alot because I have to get it set up so i doesn't make a mess . The old style drain is a challenge .
 
Man that looks good Rich, I've always wanted one just can't seem to justify it with our weather. It'd only get used a couple time a year.

Point for sure

Excellent, Rich! I like long posts with lots of food :-)
The stir fry nailed me to the screen. I wouldn't live out the day if I showed up with a Blackstone LOL!
I could probably get away with a Wok...

Thanks bud . Yeah , I need to get mine in a dedicated spot so I use it more . If I put it away it will sit there . Kind of low too . They really make great food .
 
Everything looks delicious Rich! Way to give the new griddle forum a workout!
Thanks Jake ! Yeah , wasn't planning on posting any of it until I saw the name change on the forum section . Figured why not .
Heading for some Tennessee mountain air next Saturday .
