What reviewers say

Blackstone Original Outdoor Griddle, 28 Inch 2-Burner Flat Top Grill with Hood, Black

  • 4.7 / 519,569 ratings

Owners rate it highly, with 4.7 out of 5 across roughly 19,500 ratings. Most praise the even heating, the roomy surface and how easy it is to clean compared with charcoal or a standard gas grill. Complaints tend to focus on assembly time, rust if it is left uncovered, and uneven heat at the far edges.

Pros
  • Even heat across most of the 524 sq in surface
  • Fast warm-up and strong high-heat searing
  • Easy cleanup thanks to the rear grease trap
  • Sturdy build and smooth-rolling casters
Cons
  • Assembly takes a while and needs two people
  • Edges run cooler than the center
  • Rust appears if it sits outside without a cover
  • Grease cup fills quickly with fatty foods

Blackstone Original 28" Omnivore Griddle

Owners of the Original 28" griddle line praise the even heat, the two-zone control and the easy rear grease cleanup. Complaints tend to center on weight and on seasoning and rust care for the steel top.

What people mention
  • Even heatPraisedOwners say the Omnivore plate heats more evenly than older Blackstone tops.
  • Two zonesPraisedSeparate burners let people cook pancakes and burgers at different temperatures.
  • CleanupPraisedThe rear grease management system is described as quick to drain and wipe down.
  • WeightCriticised

Questions and answers

Are these two griddles actually different?
Not in cooking hardware. Both are the Blackstone Original 28-inch two-burner Omnivore griddle with 524 sq in, 34,000 BTU and a hard cover. Product B adds a soft cover and lists model 1924.
Which is cheaper right now?
Product B at $170.00 at auctionsbargain.com as of November 5, 2026, versus $193.98 at eBay for Product A as of the same date.
How many burgers fit on either one?
About 21 burgers on the 524 sq in surface, according to Blackstone's spec for both models.
Is the soft cover worth paying for?
It is included on Product B at the lower price, so there is no premium to weigh. It helps against dust and rain if the griddle sits outside; the hard cover alone protects the plate.
Can one person move it?
It weighs 70 lb and rolls on two industrial-strength wheels with locking casters. One person can move it on a flat patio but should lift it with help.
Does either come with a propane tank?
No. Both run on propane and the tank is sold separately.
