Is the Blackstone Adventure Ready 17 worth it?

For one or two people cooking outdoors, yes. It costs far less than a full-size griddle and weighs about 7 pounds, so it earns its place in a car or boat. If you regularly cook for a crowd, step up to a two-burner model.

How does it compare with the 22-inch Adventure Ready?

The 22-inch model adds a second burner and more cooking area, which means better heat recovery and room for more food. The 17-inch is lighter and cheaper, and easier to carry alone.

Does it come with a propane tank or hose?

No. It runs on a 1-pound propane cylinder, which you supply, and the regulator is included. A bulk-tank hose is sold separately if you want to run it from a 20-pound tank.

How long does a 1-pound propane cylinder last?

At full output the 12,500 BTU burner uses roughly a pound of propane in under an hour. Expect several cooking sessions on low to medium heat from one cylinder.

Does the griddle top need seasoning?

Yes. The carbon steel plate ships with a protective coating that you wash off, then season with thin coats of cooking oil before the first cook. Re-season it whenever the surface looks dull.

Prices on tabletop griddles tend to dip around spring grilling sales, Memorial Day and Labor Day, and again in late summer clearance. Compare the current price against its recent range before buying.

Our take on the Blackstone Adventure Ready 17

The Blackstone Adventure Ready 17 is a one-burner propane tabletop griddle with a 17-inch carbon steel cooking surface, 267 square inches of cooking area and room for about 11 burgers. It runs on a 12,500 BTU burner with piezo ignition and an analog temperature gauge, and its patented rear grease management system keeps cleanup simple. It weighs about 7 pounds, so it packs into a car for camping, tailgating or boating. Reviewers call it sturdy, quick to assemble and even-cooking.
