Blackstone 1883 Original 28” Griddle with Integrated Protective Hood and Counter Height Side Shelves, Powder Coated Steel, Black

This is something that we always wanted to take advantage of and now it is here and it did not disappoint. Instructions on how to put it together was very clear and precise. Using it was even easier than I assumed, but the clean up was difficult, especially without the kit. I had to look up how to and then doing it a couple of times was a breeze.

I bought this as a gift for my kids father for his birthday. The heat distribution is perfect all the way across the board. Long as you buy the products to clean and season the grill, it will not become sticky and disgusting. The weight was a little heavy to carry by yourself but somehow manage to get it done. It was worth the money and has multiple function to be able to use it for. I would highly recommend for a quality flat top. 10/10

Listen. This grill changed dinner at my house. It heats fast, cooks even, and turns any dad into a short-order cook with swagger. We’ve done burgers, breakfast, fajitas—you name it. Easy to clean (just scrape + oil), and the surface still looks good after heavy use. If you’re on the fence: buy it. Father’s Day is coming, after all.

Product box was damaged on one end during shipping, but item appears to be okay and pleased thus far. Getting ready to season the griddle and will know more at that point.

The best grill out there! I can fix anything on this grill.

I’ve been wanting a griddle for a long time, and when my stepson mentioned how much he loved using one at his weekend job (making Philly cheesesteaks and burgers at the ballfields), I knew it was time to finally pull the trigger. After a lot of research, we chose this Blackstone because it had great reviews, an integrated hood, and a large enough cooking surface for our family of seven.It’s been a great addition. Watching all those “POV Dad” videos on Instagram had me dreaming about big weekend breakfasts and summer BBQs — and this griddle absolutely delivers on that vibe. The two burners give enough space to handle a lot of food at once. Plus, assembly was incredibly easy — my 14-year-old stepdaughter put it together by herself in about 20 minutes!The only downside (and why I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5) is that it cools down faster than I expected. When searing steaks, I sometimes have to move them around to keep the heat up for a good crust. Maybe it’s user error or just part of the learning curve with a flat top, but it was a little disappointing at first.Overall, though, this griddle has been a game-changer for our family meals. If you’re thinking about getting one, I highly recommend it — just be ready to practice a little to really master the heat zones.

The Blackstone Grill has transformed the way I cook outdoors. It’s versatile, powerful, and fun to use. If you’re looking for a reliable flat-top griddle that can handle everything from breakfast to dinner for a crowd, this is it. Just be ready to put in a little maintenance work to keep it in top shape.

Best present I ever got my husband! He uses it all the time- easy to clean and maintain. Can cook a variety of items all at once and everything tastes delicious coming right off the grill.
