Title: New cookstove and first cook
Post by: grossie on April 24, 2016, 08:22:53 PM: Picked up a Cabela's Ultimate Cookstove this week. I was on the fence, but the free pizza oven clinched the deal. I was planning on breakfast for my first cook, but family plans changed and that wasn't feasible. I couldn't wait until next week, so I cooked a sirloin and some chicken breasts on the griddle tonight. I thought it turned out pretty good. Unfortunately, so did the dog!

Post by: grossie on April 24, 2016, 08:40:31 PM: You can load it the way I have it, with grates on both sides, griddles on both sides, or a pizza oven on one side and either grates or a griddle on the other side.

I'll report back in when I try the pizza oven. For now, time to clean up!

Post by: TwoPockets on April 25, 2016, 04:04:55 PM: I love my Camp Chef stove I have on my deck. It is my favorite cooking tool. I have this 3 burner Camp Chef Expedition.

http://www.campchef.com/expedition-3x-three-burner-stove.html

When I bought mine at Costco many years ago it was $149 dollars and came with a heavy cast iron griddle that covered two burners. I like the new restaurant style griddle that comes with it now. I have since bought the pizza oven for it. We don't fry any food in the house any more and I have a couple of 14 inch cast iron griddles I use with it as well as using our old cast iron skillets. I like a burger cooked on a cast iron griddle better than one cooked on a grill. It is also a super steak cooker. Many weekends I will throw a pound of bacon on the griddle and then fry some eggs in the bacon grease.

Post by: grossie on April 25, 2016, 08:15:09 PM: 2Poc - that's a good looking stove. And you definitely made out on the price!

How's the pizza oven. I still haven't opened mine.

I did burgers tonight...going to make another post about that.

I have a lot of griddle and flat top searches to do on LTBBQ!

Check YouTube as well. Some good Blackstone videos.

The Blackstone 36 cover fits great, though it could have a bit more height.

Post by: grossie on May 01, 2016, 07:54:53 PM: I hope that's not an issue for me. It's a long way around the house to the garage.

Post by: TwoPockets on June 14, 2016, 08:32:03 PM: The pizza oven works great, I still have not made one from scratch but cook Pappas Murphy's in it a lot. Makes great cookies, garlic toast and about anything you would make in the oven in the house.

Mine stays on the deck year round. I keep it covered and have had no rust issues. Once a year I cover the burners well and take my pressure washer on low to clean it. Best outdoor cooker I have ever had.
