Our take on the Blackstone 1568 5 Burner Propane Griddle Cooking Station

The Blackstone 1568 is a five-burner propane griddle built around a 7-gauge rolled carbon steel top, the thickest steel Blackstone puts on its flat-tops. Five independently controlled burners with a built-in igniter let you run different heat zones at once, so you can sear burgers on one side and hold pancakes on the other. The rear grease management system drains through a rear trough into a removable cup, which keeps the front of the cook surface clear. It suits backyard cooks feeding groups, and it beats smaller two- and three-burner griddles on cooking area and heat flexibility, though it is heavy and needs a covered spot to keep the steel from rusting.

What reviewers say

Owners rate the 1568 highly for its thick top, even heat and roomy cooking surface, and many call it the centerpiece of weekend cooking. Complaints center on weight, the seasoning upkeep of raw carbon steel and occasional hot spots at low settings.

What people mention
  • BuildPraisedOwners say the thick 7-gauge top and powder-coated frame feel sturdy and resist warping.
  • Heat controlMixedFive zones are useful, but some owners find the lowest settings still run hot.
  • Seasoning upkeepCriticisedThe raw carbon steel needs oiling and re-seasoning, and can rust if left damp.
  • Grease drainPraisedThe rear drain keeps grease off the cook surface and is easier to manage than front drains.
  • WeightCriticisedOwners call it heavy and hard to move without help.

Questions and answers

Do I need to season the griddle top?
Yes. The top is bare carbon steel, so it ships with a protective coating that must be washed off, then it needs a few rounds of oil and heat before cooking.
How many people can it cook for?
The five-burner surface handles a large family or a backyard crowd. It can cook a dozen burgers or a full breakfast for eight at once.
Does it come with a cover or propane tank?
No. It is a stand-alone griddle; a propane tank, hose and regulator and a cover are sold separately.
Can I use it on a wooden deck?
Only with care. The frame gets hot and grease can drip, so keep clearance from railings and never leave it unattended.
How is it different from the smaller Blackstone models?
It adds two burners, a much larger cooking surface and the thicker 7-gauge top. Smaller models are lighter and easier to store but offer fewer heat zones.
