Looking for some ideas. I really don't like the soft cover - it's not water proof, and I keep mine out on my deck.
Putting something under the cover to give it a pitch helps. Ive seen some use aluminum pans to get the water to shed
Same here - I have a full size restaurant pan under my cover too and still get water on it.I'm still using the inverted, full sized aluminum restaurant pans under the cover. Keeps the cover from laying directly on the griddle top but it doesn't take care of my water problem.
Mine sits out in the weather year round. I'd like to come up with a solid cover, at least for the griddle area.
Maybe as simple as a rectangle piece of metal or wood, with handles on top.
Will be watching this thread for more ideas.
I found a few fabricators in my area I will probably reach out too. I don't like the full cover cause it is a PITA getting on and off when I want to do a quick cook. I would like something that just covers the griddle and has handles on it. My question is, should it be long enough in the front to cover the controls? What material to make it out of? Need something heavy enough that it won't fly off in a wind storm and light enough to be easy for me to get of alone.On the facebook blackstone group there's several folks that have had them made. With the wind here I have a heck of a time keeping the cover on. I have a friend who has a custom metal shop. Probably cost me more than the stove!
I can't believe that Blackstone hasn't already come out with one. They are missing an opportunity. I would love not that was hinged and I could just open up, cook, clean it and put it back down.
Check out the Blackstone Griddle Owners page on Facebook. Plenty of people have made cool metal covers.
