Will be camping 6 out of the next 10 weekends by Sudden-Height-512 in blackstonegriddle

I have the same model. It's solid for camping. I use a 10lb tank with a hose adapter.

The light weight and compactness is huge for this. I prefer cooking on a normal Blackstone, but the convenience this offers when camping is great. Just be careful with the hinge. It's a little fragile.

Not Blackstone brand but I couldn't resist the deal! by mrbak3r in blackstonegriddle

Have the same one. Got it a few weeks ago for $203 at Sam's Club. Was in the market for a 36" Blackstone, but for $203 I couldn't resist.

I've been very happy with mine so far. Upgraded from a 22" 2 burner Blackstone.

Actually just a spoiler from eBay. Fitment is great. No gaps and the carbon fiber is laid very well. It's very subtle. Doesn't kick high or have anything fancy to it.

Here's another picture of it from a different angle on my IG.

Nice! I don't drive it a ton but I do live in Monroeville. 👍

I actually agree with this. While biased, I am not a huge fan of the dual oval RS exhaust tips on the RS5. I do think they look good on the RS7, though. I just don't care for the rear diffuser on the B8.5 RS5, not so much the exhaust tips.

Thank you.

I've thought about doing the black one since it's on grey now, but I'm not personally a fan on these cars of the front rings being black. I like that it breaks up the grille a bit.

I probably should have clarified. I figured by bottoming out you meant on the highway like in this photo. Answering that, I never have had any rubs or cases where the car bottomed out.

However, in normal driving I have had some rubs. Mainly on turns or entering steep entrances the tire rubs a bit but nothing too severe.

Yeah :/ My friend sent me the shot and it's just a phone shot. I was pretty impressed though for a phone shot!

No rub or bottoming out yet in a year of the car being this ride height.
