Our take on the 36” Griddle with Hood (Natural Gas)

The Blackstone 36" Griddle with Hood is a natural-gas flat-top griddle for backyard cooking. Its Omnivore griddle plate is designed for more even heat and less gas use than earlier Blackstone plates, and the hood traps heat for melting and steaming. The wide cooking surface handles breakfast for a crowd, smash burgers and stir-fries, and the folding shelves and tool hooks add prep space and storage. It is a large, heavy unit that stays put on a patio and needs a natural-gas hookup, so it suits cooks with an outdoor gas line rather than campers or small balconies.

Pros
  • Large 36-inch cooking surface fits many servings at once
  • Omnivore plate heats more evenly and uses less gas than older plates
  • Hood holds heat for melting, steaming and faster warm-up
  • Folding side shelves and an extendable shelf add prep space
  • Tool hooks and a paper towel holder keep the work area organized

Cons
  • Heavy and large; needs a permanent spot and a gas hookup

  • Uneven hot spots are still reported across the plate
  • Grease management and cleanup take effort on a griddle this size
  • Hood and shelves add bulk that makes covering and moving harder

Questions and answers

What is the difference between the Omnivore plate and older Blackstone griddles?
Blackstone says the Omnivore plate heats more evenly and uses less gas than its earlier griddle tops. Owners generally agree it warms up faster, though some hot spots remain.
Can this griddle run on propane?
No. This is the natural-gas model and is built for a household gas line. Running propane requires a conversion kit and regulator, which are not included.
How many people can it cook for?
The 36-inch surface can cook breakfast, burgers or stir-fry for a large family or a party in one or two batches. It is more capacity than a couple usually needs.
Does the hood help with cooking?
Yes. Closing the hood traps heat for melting cheese, steaming and warming food, and it protects the plate when the griddle is not in use.
What accessories fit the BAR system?
The BAR rail accepts Blackstone accessories such as side tables, racks and tool holders. Check that an accessory is made for the 36-inch model before buying.
Is it hard to move?
Yes. It is a heavy unit with folding shelves, so it is best left in one patio spot. Plan for two people if you need to lift it.
