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.
