Does it come with a propane tank or hose?

No. It is set up for natural gas and connects to a home gas line, so it does not use a propane tank.

How much food fits on the 36-inch surface?

The griddle has 768 square inches, enough for a full breakfast or burgers and sides for a group at once.

Can I cook different foods at the same time?

Yes. Four independently controlled burners create separate heat zones, so you can run eggs on low and sear meat on high.

How does it compare with the propane 36-inch Blackstone?

Cooking space and burner layout are similar. This version runs on natural gas, so you skip tank refills but need a gas line where it sits.

Can I move it around easily?

It has wheels for repositioning, but it is large and heavy, so plan a fixed spot for it.

Our take on the Blackstone Original 4-Burner 36" Natural Gas Omnivore Griddle with Hard Cover

The Blackstone Original 36" is a four-burner flat-top griddle plumbed for natural gas, so it runs off a home gas line instead of a propane tank. Its 768 square inches of cooking surface and four independently controlled heat zones let you cook a full breakfast or burgers and vegetables side by side. The Omnivore griddle plate is built to recover heat faster, resist warping and use less fuel to hold high heat. It suits backyard cooks who feed crowds and want a permanent gas hookup; against propane 36" Blackstones it trades portability for never refilling a tank, and the included hard cover protects the top between cooks.
