EXACTLY!! You need to babysit it, nurture it, learn how keep the heat consistent and have friends over to help... It takes a village to cook a butt!!!
OT: Stuff you like to make on the griddle

Yeah, that is really "fighting the fire".
I have never tried that before. I have a cheap little electric smoker but I don't really use it much anymore.
Need to do it at least once, it is worth the experience. But be warned, it is addictive... Keep your coals on the outer edge of the grill to keep the direct heat away. I have used a serpentine layout and light one end to let it burn slow and long and have put small piles on two sides to do a slow cook...
I can see reheating these on the griddle, but pretty sure cooking a turkey on the griddle would not be my #1 choice
Cooking pork butt is BBQ 101. Cheap cut of meat. Nearly impossible to screw up and almost guaranteed to get good results. It’s where the rooks learn the craft.
Getting a brisket right is much more difficult
I can still remember being nervous doing my first pork butt...
Then you realize that you just toss it in...forget about it for 10 hours...then go get it.
For you fisherman. Forget frying for a night. Throw walleye or panfish fillets in some lime juice and pepper, toss on the blackstone medium heat, 1-2 minutes per side. Enjoy. A very clean tasting way to cook fish. Can also put in tacos
Huh? How do you cook it? Thought that was about the only way to do it. Assuming we're talking about coals in a smoker.
I had a Masterbuilt Smokehouse for 2 years and that electric smoker did well. Just stopped working after two years.
I now have a Kamado Joe and I will never smoke on anything else again. The flavor and smoke rings can't be beat. It does take some time to start, but after that it could be -20° or 100° and that think will hold 250 for 12-16 hours depending on the amount of wood and lump charcoal you use.
I use the griddle for everything else
My Masterbuilt suuuuuucks in the cold! But, it has worked well for me.
I don't think I will ever get another smoker. I am so in love with the griddle.
