Blackstone Original 28" Omnivore Griddle vs Blackstone 22" Tabletop Griddle with Hood

Buy the 28-inch Original if you cook for a family or a crowd and want a freestanding griddle with side shelves, a hard cover and a soft cover. Buy the 22-inch tabletop if you tailgate, camp or have limited patio space and need something you can lift and carry. The 28-inch gives you 524 sq in and 34,000 BTU across two zones; the 22-inch gives you 361 sq in and 21,000 BTU in a 70 lb-class body that folds down to a tabletop. Both use Blackstone's Omnivore plate and rear grease system, and owners of both report even heat and easy cleanup.

• Choose the Blackstone Original 28" if you want a freestanding griddle with side prep space, a hard cover plus soft cover, and enough surface to cook for four or more at once.
• Choose the Blackstone 22" Tabletop if you need a griddle that travels to tailgates, campsites or small balconies and stores under a hood.
