Choosing the Right Blackstone for Camping
Before diving into recipes, we kicked off the episode with a full breakdown of the current Blackstone camping lineup.
One of the biggest decisions campers face is choosing between:
The newer titanium ceramic nonstick camping griddles
Or the classic cold-rolled steel “OG” Blackstones
Titanium Ceramic Camping Griddles
These are:
Lightweight
Easy to carry
Fast to clean
Wind-resistant
Great for RVs and tent camping
Jeremy especially highlighted:
The 14-inch model with side burner
The 20-inch tabletop model
The adjustable legs that help level the griddle on uneven campsites
One important tip: never use metal spatulas on the ceramic surface.
The Classic Steel Griddles
For those with more storage space, Jeremy still loves the classic steel-top models:
17-inch tabletop
22-inch tabletop
28-inch Flexfold
The 22-inch Flexfold remains a favorite because it balances cooking space with portability.
Burger Recipes for Memorial Day Weekend
Cheri kicked things off with three burger Blackstone griddle recipes that go far beyond the standard cheeseburger.
BBQ Onion Ring Burger
This recipe combines:
Preformed burger patties
Frozen onion rings cooked directly on the griddle
BBQ sauce
Brioche buns
Cheri emphasized how great frozen fried foods cook on the Blackstone, especially onion rings and jalapeño poppers.
Jeremy especially loved the tip about using Kinders BBQ sauce with the drizzle-top bottle for easy campground cooking.
Buffalo Ranch Chicken Burger
This burger combines:
Ground chicken
Ranch seasoning
Buffalo sauce
Blue cheese
Brioche buns
Cheri recommended pre-forming the patties at home and freezing them between parchment paper to simplify campground cooking.
The recipe struck a perfect balance between easy prep and big flavor.
Burger & French Fry Crunch Wrap
One of the most creative Blackstone griddle recipes of the episode, this crunch wrap includes:
Seasoned ground beef
French fries
Cheese
Pickles
Sauce
Large tortillas toasted on the griddle
Cheri compared it to a handheld burger-and-fries meal all wrapped into one crispy package.
