Great review Jamie! I got the 22" Blackstone combo pack maybe 4 years ago on a black Friday sale. Came with the griddle, stand, hood, and adapter hose for a 20lb propane tank for $137 at Wal-Mart. Really enjoy cooking on it and it's all i need since it is just me. The only downside i had with it is it originally uses the small green bottles of propane and the hookup is on the right which is where the only side table is. Just gets in the way so i drilled new holes on the left side and moved the table since i do not use the bottles anyway. Would still like to have 2 tables though!

The shelf on the left side has a magnet on it. that is great if you are left handed but the shelf on the right does not have one.

A goid, honest review. Unfortunately, companies that bring products to market early on, eventually lose sales because newer competitors get to hear from the users what they like and don't like and can build and offer a better product. Now, Traeger has jumped in and their flat top looks superior, based on the early reviews. Of course, it's more expensive, but, if you figure it will last many years, and you enjoy using it instead of constantly making allowances, then you have a winner. We will see if Blackstone steps up and fixes their deficiencies and will offer a competitive product going forward.

couple things to look out for. when you grab free floating cover to lower and hook on the back, don't accidentally hook the grease trap that has dirty grease from day before and knock it to the ground making a gross mess. not hard to do but you'll only do it once. the paper towels like to unroll and blow about on that holder for some reason. the wind will inevitably blow them right into the open flame underneath, like happened to me. fortunately i had cleaned up the grease slick on the floor of my garage before the paper towel fire made its way into it. no complaints but this thing cooks really hot !!! i usually have the rh burner off totally and the rest on low and only move the way lh to high when cooking the proteins and that only for 5-10 minutes. hot hot

Actually there are caster wheels on both sides of the unit unlike a BBQ. The propane tank can go attach on either side but the hose and regulator only reaches the one side with the handle so you’re actually picking up the heaviest side to roll the griddle around as you put it…doesn’t make sense and makes the unit hard to move around and/or move locations. We are just saying it would be a better unit with another handle. We love Blackstone and perhaps a little constructive criticism can go a long way towards improving the product.

Thank you Jamie for a no bullshit review , iv'e had many a different brand of bbq's over the years both flatop & combination flat/grill style & the one thing that has always annoyed me is the amount of inconsistent heat areas, some have had really bad hot & cold spots. some worse than others. i could possibly forgive a little bit of a flimsy construction on the frame & legs as long as the heat is well distributed & even across the griddle. this particular unit is approx a $750 dollar purchase in AU & that wont include a gas bottle or any of the tools & bottles. which compared to some other brands is double & triple the price for similar features, so i want to be confident its going to be worthwhile. we will soon find out.

Blackstone offeres another 36 inch griddle thats has a slightly better build quality, and it also comes with a hood that you can lift up vs the lid that you have to pull off. The upgraded model costs $500 whereas the model in this video is going for $300. Personally I'd recommend the cheaper one since there's not that much of a difference.

The handle is on the one side only because the casters swivel on that side. The side with no handle doesn’t have wheels that swivel. You couldn’t pull it and push it the same way the handle side can. Yeah, you could pull and push it, though. They should put a handle on both sides, possible swivel wheels on both sides and I think people would gladly pay more. I’ve seen a bunch of reviews about this griddle and the consensus is the build quality is ok and could be better. Blackstone should get engaged with their customers and really listen to their feedback and come out with “The People’s Griddle/Grill.”

Thanks for watching! It’s the 2149 model.

I'm working on an idea to somehow hing the lid. If anyone has an idea. Let me know

Good luck! Hope you can figure something out.

Well, I was going to purchase one. Not so much now. I see maybe $100 worth of materials and labor there with too many flaws to justify their asking price. Not to mention I’m seeing a lot of people selling them on Facebook marketplace. I also see many pictures where the top is severely rusted and or damaged in some way leading me to believe this entire unit is more of a gimmick in my personal opinion. Thanks for the review, just another company that won’t be ripping me off!

You’re welcome Michael. The whole point of an honest review is so people can make an educated decision on whether or not they want to spend their hard earned money on a product. Appreciate you watching and commenting! 👊🏻👍🏻

Do you recommend those solar deck lights? Are they also motion sensor?

Hi Victor. The deck lights work great. No they aren’t motion sensor. Appreciate you watching!

This review should be titled Why Not to buy a Blackstone Griddle. 😂

Just want people to make an informed decision before they spend their hard earned money. We actually love Blackstone but there is always room to improve their product. Thanks for taking the time to watch. 👍🏻👊🏻

I was obsessed about getting a blackstone and now i want my money back. I did everything it said to do, seasoning and so forth and had a good summer with it. I cleaned, oiled, and stored it inside. I just got it out today and its an absolute pile of unusable rust. Just a garbage piece of equipment. Not only did they get me for several hundred dollars but got me for another 20 for their resurfacing kit that doesn't work. Save your money folks. He is dead on about the flimsiness too. Going back to a traditional grill.

Not sure where you saw that but I can assure you the 36 inch Griddle is 60,000 BTU. Thanks for watching!

Is there another griddle with better build quality I'd shot myself in the foot buying one cus it is good size but that flimsy build really doesn't make me want to park the cash there

Thanks for watching Jake!

The legs on this one are a bit more solid than another model I've seen of the same size.

People love their Blackstones but those same people, and there are many, point out all the flaws. I hear “flimsy” a lot…aka cheap. This gives way to a newcomer brand that listens to these customers and blow this brand out of the water.

To be fair, Blackstone has made improvements along the way because of videos like this and listening to their customers. Like you said though, a new brand could come along and learn from this and do very well. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts!! 👍🏻👊🏻

too bad it is not as good as it's cousins.. good to have an honest review and hopefully the company makes some improvements// looks overall decent// the smaller one sure sounds good to me i keep getting closer to an outdoor griddle for camping

The 17 inch Blackstone is a beast and is definitely well built and portable and would be perfect for camping. This one is definitely the stay home model 😂. Appreciate you watching Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

Just got mine today. Black Friday. $297

It's called PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE, I try to stay away from companies that do that. There are still companies out there that make quality products that will last a lifetime.

Interesting. Many people now claiming that their newer 36 inch griddles are made sturdier. Blackstone now produces a 36 inch griddle with a hinged lid, which they didn’t previous. I definitely think you’re on to something. Appreciate you watching and especially sharing your thoughts! 👍🏻👊🏻
