How many people can the 44-inch griddle feed?

It handles breakfast or burgers for a large group, roughly 20 or more servings at once depending on the dish. Most owners use it for family gatherings and events rather than daily small meals.

Does it need a full-size propane tank?

Yes, it runs on a standard 20-pound propane tank. A full tank covers several long cooks, but big multi-hour sessions will drain it faster than a smaller griddle.

How is the Omnivore plate different from older Blackstone griddles?

Blackstone says the Omnivore plate spreads heat more evenly, handles temperature swings better and uses less fuel per cook. Owners generally report fewer hot spots than on earlier models.

Can the side shelves fold down for storage?

Yes, both side shelves fold down and the included hard cover protects the plate. With shelves folded it still takes up significant patio or garage space.

What comes in the box?

The griddle, folding side shelves with tool hooks, a magnetic tool bar, a hard cover and wheels for moving it. A propane tank and tools are not included.

Is it hard to assemble?

Assembly is straightforward but takes time and usually two people because of the weight. Most owners finish it in under an hour with basic tools.

Our take on the Blackstone Bronco 5-Burner 44 Omnivore Griddle

The Bronco 44 is Blackstone's largest five-burner flat-top, with 935 square inches of cooking surface and five independently controlled heat zones. Its Omnivore griddle plate is designed to heat more evenly, resist thermal shock and use less propane per cook than earlier Blackstone plates. Folding side shelves, a magnetic tool bar, a hard cover and wheels make it easier to move and store than fixed-shelf rivals. It suits big families, backyard hosts and tailgaters feeding crowds; smaller households will find it oversized and fuel-hungry to heat up.
