    • @SmokinwithKasket

  • @trollgrgg2672
    @trollgrgg2672 Před 3 lety +1

    Is there some easy way to see if the burner is actually burning? With the full griddle I cannot see the burners even when looking into the holes. I don't want to rely on the sound so I am forever on my knees trying to see inside. Am I missing something?

    • @SmokinwithKasket
      @SmokinwithKasket  Před 3 lety

      I’m not sure what’s wrong. I can clearly see the burners in my peep holes. That’s their main purpose. Sometimes you have to adjust your angle slightly as you look into them. I check my peep holes every time i light mine. I’m tall so I simply stoop over and look into them.

  • @lonestar3270
    @lonestar3270 Před 3 lety +2

    Have been looking at this model over the Blackstone. Do you store yours outside with the cover? How many times a week do you use it? I live in a hot and humid part of the country, and have been concerned about rust even if I went through the cleaning and seasoning process each time as your video shows. Thanks!

    • @SmokinwithKasket
      @SmokinwithKasket  Před 3 lety +1

      Thank you for watching and hopefully subscribing. Much appreciated!!! Both models are excellent choices. I leaned toward the Camp Chef because I can remove the griddle and use it as a gas grill. Check out my Instagram and you’ll see me cooking on the grates. The griddle is slightly smaller than the Blackstone but it’s my understanding the Camp Chef puts out more BTUs and gets hotter than the Black Stone. Plus, I just plain love the look of a Camp Chef with the stainless steel base and the red knobs. I keep all my grills in the garage and covered. I really don’t think you’ll have rust problems with it costed with cooking oil. Let us all know your decision. Stay safe!!!

      Hi Scott - As long as you keep it covered there should be no issues. I would recommend the metal cover. I'm going to purchase one this spring (not the diamond plate. I think the smooth stainless cover looks awesome but that's just my preference). I keep all my grills and smokers in the garage and covered as well. You will LOVE this griddle.

    Greetings Mr. Kasper, great video. I just put my FTG900 together today. The griddle top is very heavy on the 6 burner model. I was surprised at how "rough" the surface of the griddle was as unboxed with pre-seasoning from the manufacturer. I cant tell when watching your videos, was your griddle surface rough at first and then smoothed out as it continued to get seasoned, or does it still have that texture from the factory. Or maybe yours never had a texture?

    • @SmokinwithKasket
      @SmokinwithKasket  Před 4 lety +2

      I think mine has a texture but it didn't strike me as very rough. I can say that as you use it with your spatulas and scrapers, it will smooth out relatively quickly. I definitely think that my griddle texture is far smoother than my Lodge cast iron pans. Enjoy your grill - I LOVE this thing!!!! Thanks for watching. Stay safe.
