And just like that, I broke it....I was so excited to "play" with my new BBQ that I forgot to pay attention to a few things...One being that not all the burners were turned off!  I don't usually use the side burner and didn't even think about checking it when I seasoned the griddle.  The burner was on, the lid was down, and....it overheated and melted part of the plastic.  Bummer.  I now have a permanent reminder to pay attention.

I did use the griddle last night for dinner though. It really did keep the heat down in the kitchen, so I'm a fan!  (We were 106 degrees here yesterday.....)

The birthday present I ordered for myself was delivered today!  I have it set up and ready to go and have seasoned the griddle. It will also use charcoal so it’s a three in one, a propane grill, a griddle, and charcoal grill.

The only downside was all those stickers on front were a bear to get off. Some came off quite nicely, but two of them required a lot of time.
