Our take on the Blackstone Original 28” Omnivore Griddle with 'X' Brace Hood

The Blackstone Original 28" Omnivore Griddle is a two-burner gas flat-top with an enclosed 'X'-brace hood. Its Omnivore plate is stamped to spread heat more evenly and use less fuel than the older flat-plate design, and the two zones let you run different heat on each half. The hood, side shelves and BAR accessory rail make it a compact all-in-one for breakfasts, smash burgers and stir-fries. It sits between the 22" two-burner and the 36" four-burner in Blackstone's range: more cooking room than the 22", less griddle space and fewer burners than the 36". Owners rate it highly for even heat and easy cleanup, while some complain about grease handling and hood fit.

Questions and answers

Is the 28" Omnivore worth it over the 22"?
Yes if you cook for three or more people or want two full zones. The 22" is lighter and cheaper to run but has less room to work.
How does it compare with the 36" Blackstone?
The 36" adds two more burners and more griddle space for big crowds. The 28" heats faster, uses less fuel and fits smaller patios.
Does the hood help cooking?
It traps heat to melt cheese and steam veggies, and it keeps dust and rain off the plate between cooks. It is not a smoker or an oven.
What accessories fit the side shelf?
The BAR rail takes Blackstone's BAR-system accessories, such as a paper towel holder, condiment rack and tool hooks.
What is in the box?
The griddle, 'X'-brace hood, two side shelves, rear grease cup and regulator hose for a standard propane tank. A tank and tools are not included.
How long does seasoning take?
Plan on 20 to 30 minutes of thin oil coats over medium heat. The plate is bare steel and will rust if left wet.
