Very handy when I’m using my Blackstone griddle. Impressed with it’s overall ingenuity. Saves me several trips from going in/out of the house to grab everything I need. When I ordered it, I thought it was metal based on the pictures and price ($35), so I was a little surprised when I opened it to find out it was plastic (except for the utensils hooks and the paper towel holder.) Personally, I think it would be a better value around $20. I’m very pleased with it nonetheless.
To start with this bag is durable and well constructed. I like the removable waterproof bag on one side which is good for putting trash or other waste in. The inside of the bag is huge! Plenty of room to carry things out to the grill. The tool storage is a little cumbersome and I find it kind of hard to comfortably carry it with my things in there. The top of the bag could use more structure in that area to keep it from flopping. But this certainly beats multiple trips out to the grill with everything I need and then multiple trips going back in when done.
The thickness of the steel is exactly what i was looking for. Far more sturdy than your standard grilling utensils, however the overall quality and fit-and-finish is absolutely abysmal. large gaps between the metal and wood, which was clearly noticed because there was an attempt to fill it with some sort of epoxy (which also failed). It wasn't an isolated issue either, all items had significant gaps, as well as obvious rough sanding marks on the wood. It was clear that any extended use the metal and wood, would completely separate and fall into separate pieces. (In other reviews you see were this has happened. the steel does not run through the wood but is only held in place with 2 small pins going in about 2")
This is amazing! Cooked a beautiful salmon fillet in just 25 minutes and it came out amazing. In the past it took me 2 days to smoke something like this. Super easy and very convenient 👍
Fits perfect Broil King Crown 310.
This caddy fits our Blackstone perfectly. It was easy and quick to put together. It includes a small metal wrench so we only needed a Phillips screwdriver to tighten things up. You can put the magnetic strip (which is thick and has a nice weight to it) on the left or right side, whichever you choose. It came with all the hardware needed to put it together and install it onto the grill. The material is thick metal and heavy-duty, not light-weight or flimsy. We like to make breakfast poolside and with limited counter space outdoors it’s nice to be able to use this for condiments and utensils. Super functional. Highly recommend!
Barbecuing mutton cubes with these are so convenient. Would surely recommend.
Has all the little features we were looking for. Fit our 22” Blackstone perfectly. Love the stainless top. Easy cleanup. And this arrived 2 days earlier than expected. Oh and the “spice rack” doubles nicely as a drink holder ;)
This was fairly easy to "finish" putting together, as it is largely assembled when it arrives. Putting the last doodads in place mostly just involves placing some pieces here and there. The cart rolls easily enough and provides a decent amount of storage. The only issue I found, is I wish there was some sort of anti-slip or edge on the top to better keep items on top of it from wiggling off if you bump it. I'm going to put a line of electrical or heat protected tape along the edges for this purpose, but otherwise it works well enough. I'd suggest getting a cover for not in use and avoid leaving it out in the rain. I suspect it won't break down immediately, but it will certainly shorten its life- that or save it for portable events.
This past summer I went backpacking on a simple overnighter with a few friends. As I'm used to longer, more exhausting trips I decided this would be a good chance to have some fun. Instead of carrying a weeks worth of serious backpacking gear I decided to go ultra light and take only the bare necessities, then to make up the lack of weight with super ultra luxury food and drink. The Grizzly Spit was my my primary luxury item. Weighing roughly 5 lb with batteries it was an acceptable weight. I then added a 5 lb roast in a vacuum sealed bag, several frozen water bottles (cold retention, drinking water, and ice for mixed drinks all in one!) and placed them into a mylar refrigerator bag. This kept the roast cold for the 5 hour hike (even in 95F weather). We made it to camp early afternoon, immediately started a fire, and as soon as we had enough coals setup the Grizzly Spit. Setup was quick and easy. Stick the two supporting spikes in the ground, attach the motor, skewer the roast, and go! The only attention needed is to make sure the flame doesn't get too close to the meat, and that there are always enough coals. Basic attention to your fire is all that is necessary (never leave any fire unattended!). The Grizzly spit is a very simple design. Which is good for light weight and simplicity. The motor box is a bit cheap (made in Tiawan), but of acceptable quality (it gets the job done). Mostly of metal construction it does have some plastic parts. So I advise keeping it as far away from the fire as possible (others have suggested an aluminium pie pan as a heat shield). For my setup I put one of the ceramic coated supporting spikes in the fire ring, and the supporting spike with the motor outside the fire ring. This kept the motor adequately cool. Make sure that the spike with the motor is lower than the other. The only thing that holds the skewer to the motor box is gravity. I would recommend the manufacturer (or handy man customer) fix this with a simple cotter pin. The motor is a bit noisy, but tolerable. Upon disassembly you will see the reason for this is a small motor and a step down gear assembly. This is what allows such a small motor the torque to turn such a large piece of meat. You will also notice that the gears are a combination of metal and plastic. Not good for longevity, especially in a high heat environment. To increase it's life span, and decrease noise I lubricated the gears with some silicone/teflon lubricant (do not use petroleum oil on plastic!). So after roughly 2-3 hours of roasting I tested the internal temperature of our beef, 160F, medium, mmmmm... With a makeshift heat glove we removed the roast and immediately sliced off slivers with our knives. The natural basting of the rotisserie had kept the roast moist, the slow cooking made it tender, and the open flame caramelized the exterrior. Perfect open pit roast beef on the trail. Recipe: 5 lb Beef Roast (any kind) (next time I'm going to try lamb) 1 Head Garlic (make small slices in the roast and insert individual cloves) Olive Oil (gently coat the roast, this helps the spices to penetrate the meat) Salt (sprinkle to taste) Black Pepper (sprinkle to taste) 1 Grizzly Spit A final word of advise, when cooking with a fire made from gathered wood. The quality of your wood will affect the flavor of your food. If you use rotten wood you won't like the results.
Very Sturdy! I was shocked that there were no gaps/leaks with the Jotiserri. It fitted like a glove!
Easy to assemble. Sturdy. Probably won’t use most of the add on features but perfect side table for grill.
Please send a manual to install the grill rotisserie on my spire 36 ???
Very cool gift! He loved it!
