Our take on the Blackstone 36-in Drop-In Propane Griddle

The Blackstone 36-inch Drop-In is a built-in propane griddle for an outdoor kitchen, with a 304 stainless steel body and a 35.4 by 21.3 inch steel cooking surface. Four stainless burners put out 34,000 BTUs, and the front-access rear grease system lets you empty the cup without reaching over the cooktop. It is aimed at people building a permanent outdoor kitchen who cook for crowds, and it costs far more than Blackstone's freestanding 36-inch griddles for the same cooking area. Reviewers of Blackstone's built-in line praise the even heat and easy cleanup but note that the stainless body and hood need care in coastal or humid climates.

About the Blackstone 36-in Drop-In Propane Griddle

The Blackstone 36-in Drop-In Propane Griddle is a built-in propane griddle from the Blackstone Kitchen collection. It has a 304 stainless steel body and four stainless steel main burners that produce 34,000 BTUs across the cooking surface. The cooking surface is a steel griddle measuring 35 2/5 by 21 3/10 inches.

LED knobs show flame status, and adjustable LED puddle lighting with a dimmer gives ambient light on the ground below. A Front Access Rear Grease Management System lets you reach the rear grease cup from the front. A Flame Failure Device shuts off the valve if there is no ignition.

The griddle can be built into an outdoor kitchen or used as a standalone countertop setup. It does not include a rotisserie burner or kit.

Questions and answers

What cutout size does it need?
It needs a cutout about 41 1/4 inches wide, 25 inches deep and 7 3/5 inches high. Check your frame can carry 161 lbs before installing.
How does it compare with a freestanding Blackstone 36-inch griddle?
The cooking area is nearly the same, but this model is built into a counter with a stainless body, LED controls and a front-access grease cup. It is not portable and needs a permanent propane hookup.
Does it come with a hood?
Yes, a hood is included in the box. The unit still needs some shelter from direct rain to keep the stainless and steel top in good shape.
Can it run on natural gas?
This version is set up for propane. Converting to natural gas requires the matching conversion kit and orifices from Blackstone.
How many people can it cook for?
The 35.4 by 21.3 inch surface fits roughly 20 to 25 burgers or a full breakfast for a large family at once.
Does it need assembly?
Assembly is minimal, but installation is not: the unit must be dropped into a framed cutout and connected to a propane line.
Where is the Blackstone 36-in Drop-In Propane Griddle cheapest?
At BbqGuys, for $2,499.00, as of our latest check.
