but to answer the question.... the Blackstone can be the only mode of cooking with no problem......
I have the same set up and agree.... I use both equally but if I only had
one it would be my BS.

I also put an old grill grate on the flat grill and it works pretty good if you want those 'grill marks' on your steak or chicken..
I've also just placed them directly on the flat grill and it gets a good sear on each side too.

We have room so we take both griddle and weber, both have their pros and cons. For us griddle is better for breakfast/lunch although we usually go out for local cuisine, our Weber is more suited to the type of dinners we enjoy when RVing.
Without a doubt there are times that we may use one, or the other, and sometimes neither, in any event I want to have choices, as such they remain stalwarts of our favorite pastime.

I was in the same position I have a roadtrip grill and got a 22 inch Blackstone. I carried both last camping season and I never got the grill out one time. We always used the Blackstone. I sold the grill in the fall.

If you want to do steak, let it get rocket hot. A little butter, salt & pepper and then put the steak on. Don't crowd it. As others have said, if you have some obsession with grill marks, they can be faked.
I have heard the smaller 17" single burner doesn't get as hot. Haven't had that problem with the larger 22" twin burner.
Also if it's windy or cold, you may need a wind break so the heat isn't blown away.
Having a lid you can place over food is handy. I just use the lid from our electric skillet. Did bone in leg quarters the other night and it's handy to speed up the cooking process as it acts as a mini oven, then pull it off to sear the outside as it nears fully cooked.
Is it exactly the same as a grill...no but it does a pretty good job.

Question: I'm thinking of getting the 22" Blackstone for home and RVing. We have the small Weber gas Q series.
How hot does the BS get underneath? Can it be used on a truck tailgate without damage to the tailgate?
Thanks in advance!

We have the 22 inch blackstone with the lid and stand The blackstone has rubber feet on the bottom and are designed to be used sitting on a table. Mine does not get hot on the bottom.
The griddle and the stand are great, I suggest you look at getting the stand also.
We use our blackstone for everything and I sold my coleman grill.
