Questions and answers
- Which is better for a family of four?
- The 28". Its 524 sq in fits 21 burgers at once, so you can cook for four without working in batches. The 22" handles 14 burgers and is better suited to two or three people.
- Is the 22" worth $339 when the 28" is $176.98?
- Only if portability matters most. The 22" weighs 59.75 lb and comes with a stand for camping and tailgating. For a fixed patio setup, the 28" gives more space and heat for less money.
- Which one is easier to move?
- The 22". At 59.75 lb it can be lifted into a vehicle, and the included stand sets up anywhere. The 28" weighs 98 lb and rolls on two wheels, which suits a patio but not a car trunk.
- Do both use propane?
- Yes. Both are propane freestanding griddles with two burners and the Omnivore griddle plate. The 28" adds a built-in ignitor and puts out 34,000 BTUs versus 21,000 on the 22".
- Which cooks hotter?
- The 28" has the higher output at 34,000 BTUs. The 22" lists a temperature range of 471 to 510 °F, which is enough for pancakes, eggs and burgers but leaves less headroom for searing.
- Which has more storage for tools?
- The 28". It has dual side shelves, tool hooks and an accessory rail with a bin. The 22" has a single side shelf.
