I cooked on gas grills for most of my life. I eventually realized there is nothing that's cooked on a gas grill that tastes better than cooking it on a stovetop/griddle. So fuck spending $1000+ on some fancy built-in grill in some fancy outdoor kitchen.
I generally don't cook asian food, but I use 10" or 12" cast iron skillets to cook hamburgers, sausage, or steaks. Smoking up the house with steak smell is half the fun and the meat to cheese to vegetable to bun ratio of a smash burger type is far superior to some thick hand pressed patty monstrosity. I also have a cast iron griddle, but rarely use it.
yea if you get a blackstone, use an all arounder shopping engine like google shopping cuz costco/walmart/academy,etc all have their "in house" style blackstone
