Blackstone 28" 2-Burner Griddle vs Blackstone 22" Tabletop Griddle with Hood

Buy the 28-inch if you cook for a family or a crowd and want a cart that stands on its own. Buy the 22-inch tabletop if you tailgate, camp or have limited patio space and will set it on a table. Both share Blackstone's Omnivore plate, rear grease management and two independent heat zones, and both rate 4.7 stars. The 28-inch gives you 524 sq in, 34,000 BTU and side shelves; the 22-inch gives you 361 sq in and 21,000 BTU in a 70 lb lighter package you can carry.

  • Choose the Blackstone 28-inch griddle if you cook for four or more people regularly and want a freestanding cart with side shelves and a hard hood.
  • Choose the Blackstone 22-inch tabletop if you need a griddle that fits in a car trunk and sets up on a picnic table or tailgate.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a family of four?
The 28-inch. Its 524 sq in lets you cook burgers, eggs and hash browns at once without crowding, and the side shelves hold plates and tools.
Can I take the 22-inch camping?
Yes. It is a tabletop unit built for tailgates, parks and campsites, and the included hood protects the griddle top in transit. Bring a sturdy table and a propane source.
Do they cook the same?
Both use the Omnivore griddle plate, two independent heat zones and rear grease management, so the cooking experience is close. The 28-inch has more BTU and more surface, so it recovers heat faster under a full load.
Which lasts longer?
Both are built to similar standards and owners report years of use with basic care: season the plate, keep the hood on and store it dry. The 28-inch stays put on a patio, while the 22-inch sees more handling and travel wear.
Is the 28-inch worth stepping up to?
If you cook for a group at home, yes. You get more surface, more heat and side shelves. If you mostly cook for two or need to move the griddle, the 22-inch is the better fit.
Do either come with a stand?
The 28-inch is freestanding with its own cart and locking casters. The 22-inch is a tabletop model and needs a separate table or stand.
