How does the 28-inch Omnivore compare with the 36-inch Blackstone?

The 36-inch has four burners and more cooking area, so it handles bigger crowds and heats more evenly across the plate. The 28-inch is lighter, easier to move and better suited to smaller groups and tailgating.

Is the Omnivore plate better than the older Blackstone griddle top?

Yes. Owners report faster preheat and quicker heat recovery, so food sears better when you add a batch. The rest of the design, including the two burners and side shelves, is familiar Blackstone.

What comes in the bundle?

The 28-inch griddle, a hard locking cover, a soft griddle cover and a black spatula set. You supply the propane tank.

Can I use it for tailgating or camping?

Yes. The built-in wind guards and locking hard cover are made for travel, and it runs on a standard propane tank. It is heavy, so plan for two people to load it.

How many people can it cook for?

The 28-inch surface handles roughly four to six people at once, depending on the meal. Two heat zones let you cook different foods side by side.
