Blackstone griddle or something similar

[suarezj519]

Hey everyone, it been a while 😂.

So I'm heading to the DR in may and I'm looking for a new grill as the one I got is on its last legs. I've recently fellove with my blackstone here and want one there... Anyone know if they sell them in DR? Or something similar? I would send one down there, but just the costs alone would be outrageous I would assume. I know grills are pretty expensive in DR as well. If anyone couldead me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

We shipped a new in the box gas grill down using a mundanza. I think it was $100-150. (From NJ)

Hmm interesting. I'd like to know more. I live in Michigan, so obviously no type of services to the DR here, but say I buy one online and ship it to them, would they be able to do that and who would you recommend if you don't mind?

 

[william webster]

Yes.... I do that all the time - free shipping to the mudanza

Look at the 'Name your mudanza' thread for suggestion s

Is this what you’re talking about? This looks like a good deal.

Uncle, a mudanza is a moving company sir, we've been through this. The Dominicans actually call it a "shipping". So if you mean you want to send a barrel or furniture or whatever it's a shipping. As in Maritime shipping. When you say Mudanza to a Dominican they think of a white truck like a U-Haul that moves you from one house to your dream home

You’re actually right. A more accurate name is Embarque. ( Mundanza is a mover, who fills a container or truck with all your stuff and moves it for you. Like Allied Van Lines in the USA ).

Here's what was available at JUMBO today. (The things I do out of boredom.. LOL)

The last one is 39000 pesos.

JD, to be fair the 2 most expensive ones are not too far off what they would cost in NA for similar. Granted the 28k one appears to be a little chintzy but it's also infrared, and the last one seems a good enough deal for the price, no?

I choose to never use gas in the DR for a bbq, but I also prefer the food the ladies make in the camp made over an open fire or with charcoal. it simply tastes better even though it seems to take FOREVER! LOL

 

[JD Jones]

TBH, these are grills for the common folk.

Hit some of the high-class stores and U.S. $3K-4k stainless steel grills as big as a small car are common.

Ha! I knew I missed one.

This little fold-up fella definitely won't break the bank, and with a few chunks of Haitian "carbon" you're up and running.

For just little ole' me it's perfect.

Folks serious in the states have moved to the top 3, mix of
Traeger smoke
Weber charcoal
Big green egg.
With these 3 you can't beat.

They had a couple of Webers too, but one picture came out blurry, and the other had the price missing.

It's the one barely visible in the picture of the fold-up lil' fella.

BTW, those are all hi-resolution pictures if you want to zoom in on one.

 

[nothing to ad]

china store in puerto plata has some tabletop grills for 650 pesos on up

I have a very well off friend that spent about 10K CAD/7KUSD for a new high end (WEBER or similar I think), BBQ Setup. He have could easily spent double or more. Sky's the limit with this stuff. He also a huge barrel smoker. Cool stuff if you're into it.

That may be true- but in the DR1 vernacular, we call them 'Mudanzas'

When in Rome ......
