- Is the 28-inch Omnivore worth it over a smaller Blackstone?
- If you regularly cook for four or more, the extra surface and two burners are worth the larger footprint. For one or two people, a 22-inch or tabletop model is easier to store and clean.
- How is the Omnivore different from earlier Blackstone griddles?
- The Omnivore system adds a rear heat-distribution plate and angled side shelves to spread heat and reduce flare-ups. Owners report more even cooking than on older models.
- How many burners does it have?
- It has two independently controlled burners, so you can run one side hot for searing and the other low for eggs or pancakes.
- Does it need seasoning before first use?
- Yes. The steel top ships with a protective coating that must be washed off, then the surface is seasoned with thin layers of cooking oil and heat before cooking.
- Can it be used with a propane tank?
- Yes, it runs on propane and connects to a standard tank with the included regulator and hose. The tank is not included.
- What is in the box?
- The griddle top, cart frame, two folding side shelves, four wheels, regulator and hose, and assembly hardware. A propane tank and cover are sold separately.
- Where is the Blackstone 28in Omnivore Griddle Cooking Station 20 Gal Model# 2206 cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $279.99, as of our latest check.
