Our take on the Flat Top Gas Grill Griddle 2 Burner Propane Fuelled Rear Grease
The Blackstone 1517 is a 28-inch propane flat-top griddle with two burners and 470 square inches of cooking surface. It runs on a push-button battery ignition instead of charcoal or matches, and the rear grease management system channels drippings into a tray behind the cooktop. The removable top, folding legs and four caster wheels let one person move it between the yard and a campsite. It suits cooks who want diner-style eggs, pancakes, smash burgers and teppanyaki in one flat surface, and it gives up the lid and enclosed cabinet of a full gas grill in exchange for that versatility.
