I have always had a gas grill but was thinking about a Blackstone. Any thoughts , recommendations or concerns?
Already have a Big Green Egg so I don't need a smoker.

I’ve got a black stone. Used it a ton at first now I rarely use it. Got tired of cleaning it

Buy a gas grill and a removable carbon griddle top.

I enjoy cooking on a flat top grill way more than the traditional grill. Much easier to manage cooking and a bit more versatile. Only thing is I wish I got the griddle with the hood.
Any flat top griddle should be fine, it doesn't have to be Blackstone. Blackstone is nice and easy to transport/assemble even though we keep it in our patio.

36" Blackstones can be found on sale pretty often. Got mine for $250 from Tractor Supply. That's really cheap for a lot of cooking area. Very versatile. A bit of a hassle cleaning compared to just shutting the lid on a gas grill but it only take about a minute to clean & oil.

I use my Blackstone a lot more than I do my gas grill. Breakfast, hibachi, quesadillas, smashburgers, etc. Really only use the grill for searing or chicken thighs these days. I have room for both, so I'll keep both, but if I had a BGE, I would use that for searing and get the Blackstone or similar griddle.

Weber gas grill.
Blackstone is amazing for a few weeks, cool for a few months, and then sits unused for the next year. It is fun to cook on, but read any thread on here (there's a ton) about Blackstone and you'll see the exact same responses. Reseasoing is a pain in the arse.

Apples and oranges. I have both that I use to cook different things. It’s like saying “should I get a hammer or a screwdriver?”

A sort of middle ground is Grill Grates brand replacement grates for the Weber. I ordered these during Covid shutdown as retail therapy, and they turned out to be one of my favorite purchases.
They have bars on one side for impressive grill marks, if you like that. Flip them over and get a flat surface with small holes in it. You probably couldn’t fry and egg on it due to the holes, but the flat side is great for fajitas, searing steaks, fish, etc. I pretty much leave mine on the flat side all the time, but sometimes mix it so I have a segment with bars and the rest flat.
