- 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.
