I love this camping table! My younger children love washing dishes after eating. Holds my small drink cooler on the wire shelf. I made tie down ropes to stake the legs. I store them with my other ropes and stakes to use on my camping trips.
Good idea with the strap for the griddle. I have the 17" and will be doing the same. Thanks. I have also have the same camping table. I'm going to anchor down the legs with stakes to see if it helps from rocking.
Thanks for showing me the leveling feet on the blackstone! I have the smaller Gci table and have been battling an unleveled cooking area. Thanks again.
The more I think about it, the more I think about carrying some door shims. I think it could help with the table contact gaps, and also maybe with quicker adjustments under the griddle.
We got the Blackstone and had been setting it on picnic tables. Couldn’t really utilize the table space as you had to cook from the end of table and reach over to set or get things. I don’t think there is anything missing that I could add that would make it more enjoyable. We recently got a dome to put over biscuits and burgers to keep the heat on them. That lower metal grid is perfect for setting hot items on and out of the way. Never knew about Meaher, now you’ve got us looking! Thanks for the heads-up!
I recently purchased a Blackstone griddle with a hood. I liked your video on the table so much I purchased one and set it up as you did. Mine did not come with a paper towel bungee cord…. When I placed my Blackstone on the table, my hood was in the way of the light pole. I’ve seen others cook from the other side of the table, turning the Blackstone around. I like you video and am learning as I go. Thanks, Skillet
I just got one today and first time folding it back up it got one of my fingers pretty good. Should've watched this first. Haha. Also just realized it's the same brand as my Pod Rocker chairs.
I got it for my birthday from sister in law and it was from out of town. sorry, i don't know exactly from where. Amazon Goal Zero Crush Light Solar Powered Lantern might would be my purchase if I was in the market.
That is a GREAT idea. I actually use that section to set the griddle dome on when not and after using: www.walmart.com/ip/Expert-Grill-Stainless-Steel-Griddle-Dome-12-x-9-25/370706041
Good question! I think the table is more narrow than a regular table. There are more folding joint points than a standard table. Both of these could contribute. Again, the only time it requires holding is when scrubbing and scraping griddle for a good cleaning. We also carry with us a simple 4 foot table. I could cook on that. But I enjoy the real estate on this table setup. I like the shelves that can be dedicated for plates on one, seasonings on another, cutting board. On the simple four foot table, I ended up shoving things around to get them out of the way or in the way. Plus, I love gadgets. This has been the most well built folding setup I have used. I don’t consider it wobbly from build quality, but rather from build design. And I am fine with that.
I have not pushed the table to its breaking point. That being said, with the griddle, the weight bearing pressure points are at the hinges. I have not tested to see how well that section would handle pressure at the joining support (1:45). In other words, if you were to move the prep area to that section, I do not know how much weight it could handle. But I think I would be comfortable doing so.
Get a 1" flexible coupling, attach under the sink rubber fitting, also get a 1" piece of pvc or flexible tubing, cut to size. The tubing that comes with the table is garbage.
We had the same thought. We didn’t like the thought of heated cook top on a plastic table. I also like all the real estate and it being a little more of a gadget. At the same time, I can relate to the simplicity. I’ve had multi tool knives, but have have carried a simple knife for over 10 years. This table however is easier to store than our 4’ plastic table, and looks better.
That is a perfectly viable reasoning. It definitely is more complicated than that style. At the same time, it does offer more real estate to work with.
@@TakeMetotheWildWoods I agree... as long as the User don't mind the hassle. And perfectly reasonable if you always want to stay in one location more than 2days.
Great video, very helpful - but the background music is both annoying and of no purpose. Next video why not just leave that out, it would be a big improvement. Thank you

@@TakeMetotheWildWoods That's a smart thought, maybe I'll grab a pack of the composite ones, they should last a long time.
I have the same unit, easy to setup, stable and does a great job.
Great review. Exactly what I am looking for.
Out here at Meaher State Park right now watching your video on this cook table and griddle. Looks like a good investment. Appreciate the video.

My guy…I watched for the table review. I liked for showing me that the feet on my griddle are adjustable!
Best review of this table yet, thank you!!
Our pleasure!
Great job, you communicate effectively!

Thanks for sharing! Really enjoyed the review.😊
What a great set up ;-)
Great video!! Back ground music is awesome!
I'm sold...Thanks for the review and posting of this video.
We are still enjoying it. I am hoping you will too!
Could strap to rear trailer bumper to keep it more stable
Great tips, great review, great camera work! Thanks!!!
Great video! Now I want one! Thanks for the great demonstration!

Thanks for the demo. Made my decision easy!
Hey looks pretty cool. Is it sturdy enough that you can use it without having to really really baby it?
Very nice. Thanks
Muy buena idea... Saludos desde Chihuahua México
Excelent bro! I like it!
Wow what I nice setup. I need one for my future camper!
Yes you do! I can't wait to see what camping food you cook, as long as you share with us! :)
oooh i want one.
Great review video
Survival string LOL, it is called Para Cord, Parachute cord, 550 Cord ...
Can you please tell me what size/model Blackstone that is? Looks like it fits perfectly on the table.
It is the size up from the 17, so I believe 22
Ones the table have levelers on the legs?
Hi! Loved your video! Where did you get the solar powered lantern?
I got it for my birthday from sister in law and it was from out of town. sorry, i don't know exactly from where. Amazon Goal Zero Crush Light Solar Powered Lantern might would be my purchase if I was in the market.
@@TakeMetotheWildWoods thank you so much!
Thanks
Could you put your gas tank on the rack underneath to help with the stability of the table?
That is a GREAT idea. I actually use that section to set the griddle dome on when not and after using:

What is your take on why the table is unsteady? Legs too close together? Too much weight with Blackstone? Lower table too long, sticking out the side?
Good question! I think the table is more narrow than a regular table. There are more folding joint points than a standard table. Both of these could contribute. Again, the only time it requires holding is when scrubbing and scraping griddle for a good cleaning.

Nice review, appreciate it. Suggestion... lose the background music loop.... 12 minutes of the same loop repeating gets annoying.
This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and I’m thinking surely you don’t pull that camper with that SUV?!
And yes it is a very good video!
Can I buy one
What's the size closed?
36"x21"x6"
How much weight can is withstand?

great helpful video. many thanks. drop the goofy music. all we need is you describing it.
I didn't see the sink they said it comes with.
It is under the long side hinged section. I use it to store things
*Does the job*
Get a 1" flexible coupling, attach under the sink rubber fitting, also get a 1" piece of pvc or flexible tubing, cut to size.
The tubing that comes with the table is garbage.
Great video, but you need two get rid of the annoying music. Thanks.
Buy a plastic folding table Cheaper and easier to put up and stow away

Table is too complicated, Drifta style table is more simple
