Why do shoppers love it?

Shoppers call this Blackstone griddle “a game changer,” saying it’s a joy to use, easy to put together, and powerful. The more you use it, the more seasoned the cooktop becomes, making the food taste a little better after every use. It’s easy to clean and offers a huge long-term value.

“I love my Blackstone,” wrote one reviewer. “It was put together for me, so I didn’t have to read the instructions. But be sure to put batteries in the ignitor button. When you first cook with it, it’ll cook rather fast even on the lowest settings, so be mindful of that going in.”

Whether you’re cooking up pancakes and bacon, homemade pizza, smashburgers, salmon filets, or a delicious veggie dish, a powerful, spacious griddle is a force to be reckoned with. This 524-square-inch cooktop has a linear heating element powered by propane gas, and it can put out up to 24,000 BTUs of heat, so there’s just about nothing it can’t handle — outside of what you’d bake in a full-sized oven. It’s divided into two independently heated cook zones, so you’re free to multitask if you’re cooking at two different temperatures, and it features a protective hard cover, built-in wind guards, and a side shelf to help you prep your ingredients and serve up the delicious fruits of your labor.

The griddle comes with a 12-month warranty, and its rear grease management system helps you keep things tidy and clean between uses with minimal mess and minimal effort. If you love cooking outdoors, you’ll get no end of joy out of cooking your family breakfast, lunch, and dinner — and maybe the occasional late-night snack — on this beautiful Blackstone.
