Blackstone 22" Tabletop Griddle with Hood vs Blackstone 36-Inch Griddle with Hood

Buy the 22" tabletop if you cook for a few people and want a griddle that travels. Buy the 36" if you cook for a crowd at home and want four burners, side shelves and wheels. The 22" Omnivore plate heats evenly and sips propane, and its 4.7 rating from over 7,000 owners backs it. The 36" is the better stationary cooker, but it weighs 123 lb and needs a patio to live on.

  • Choose the 22" tabletop if you tailgate, camp or cook for two to six people and want a griddle you can lift into a car.
  • Choose the 36" if you host large cooks at home and want four heat zones, 768 sq in of cooking area and a cart that rolls.

What reviewers say

Blackstone 22" Tabletop Griddle with Hood

  • 4.7 / 57,052 ratings

Owners praise the even heat, strong searing and easy grease cleanup, and many use it as a portable second grill. Complaints center on weight, wind sensitivity and the care the griddle top needs.

What people mention
  • HeatPraisedOwners say the Omnivore plate heats evenly and recovers quickly between batches.
  • CleanupPraisedThe rear grease tray is described as simple to remove and empty.
  • WeightCriticisedSeveral owners find it heavy and awkward to lift alone.
  • WindMixedSome say the burners lose heat in gusty conditions; others report no trouble.

Blackstone 36-Inch Griddle with Hood

Owners of the 36-inch Blackstone praise its size, even heat and the hard hood, and many use it several times a week. Complaints center on rust on the steel top when it is not seasoned and cleaned, uneven spots across the wide surface, and the weight.

What people mention
  • Cooking surfacePraisedOwners say the 768 sq in top fits a full breakfast or 30 burgers at once.
  • Heat distributionMixedMost report even heat, but some find cooler zones near the edges.
  • Rust and seasoningCriticisedOwners warn the rolled steel rusts if it is not seasoned and oiled after each use.
  • WeightCriticisedAt 123 lb it is hard to move, even with the four wheels.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a family of four?
The 36" gives you room to cook everything at once and four zones to manage it. The 22" works for four if you cook in two rounds.
Which is easier to take camping or tailgating?
The 22" tabletop. It sets on a picnic table or tailgate and the hood covers the top for transport. The 36" weighs 123 lb and stays home.
Does the 36" cook better than the 22"?
It cooks more at once, not necessarily better. The 22" Omnivore plate is built for even heat and fast recovery, and it uses less propane to hold high heat.
Which lasts longer?
Both are steel Blackstone griddles that last years with the top oiled and covered. The 36" cart is heavier built; the 22" depends on how carefully you store and carry it.
Is the 36" worth stepping up to?
Yes if you regularly cook for a crowd and have patio space. If you mostly cook for a few people or need to move the griddle, the 22" is the smarter pick.
Do both have a hood and grease tray?
Both come with a hood. The 22" uses Blackstone's rear grease management system; the 36" has its own front grease cup.
