  • Our take on the Blackstone 28" Original Omnivore Griddle with Hard Cover

    The Blackstone 28" Original Omnivore Griddle is a two-burner flat-top gas griddle with a hard cover, built for backyard cooking for a family or a small crowd. Its Omnivore cooking surface uses a rear grease trough and angled side walls to push grease toward the collection cup, and the hard cover protects the top between cooks. It sits between the smaller 22-inch and the larger 36-inch Blackstone models: more cooking room than a 22 but without the 36's four burners and side shelves. Owners like the even heat and the room for smash burgers, breakfast and stir-fries; common complaints are uneven heat at the edges, wind affecting the burners and a heavy, awkward cover.

    Questions and answers

    How does the 28-inch Omnivore compare with the 36-inch Blackstone?
    The 28 has two burners and a smaller footprint; the 36 adds two more burners, side shelves and more cooking area. The 28 suits smaller yards and tighter storage.
    Does it need seasoning before first use?
    Yes. Blackstone calls for coating the top with cooking oil and heating it through several times before cooking, and owners say it gets better with repeated use.
    What is the Omnivore cooking surface?
    It is Blackstone's griddle top with angled side walls and a rear grease trough that channels grease to the collection cup.
    Can the legs fold for transport?
    Yes. The legs fold and the unit rolls, which is why owners take it camping and tailgating, though the hard cover adds bulk.
    How many people can it cook for?
    The 28-inch top fits a family meal or a batch of burgers for roughly six to eight people, depending on what you are cooking.
    Does the hard cover work while cooking?
    The hard cover is for protecting the griddle when it is off. For steaming or melting during cooking, a separate dome is the usual choice.
    Where is the Blackstone 28" Original Omnivore Griddle with Hard Cover cheapest?
    At Amazon, for $249.99, as of our latest check.
