36" Griddle

Michael · Akron Ohio · 2024-06-03

We have been loyal blackstone owners since the original model was released. Our original is sitting in the garage heading to a friend's house next month. It is still going strong we have just been wanting to upgrade. Now we have finally done it and yesterday we were hosting a birthday party making 6 full size 16" quesadillas at a time. The Sunday before that we were hosting breakfast for 15. These griddles handle it all. We for one will never go without a blackstone in our outdoor kitchen !

Unpacking the grill I noticed numerous scratches on the black powdered finish. Also the front shelf mounting bracket was bent. So packaging is an issue. Mounting screws for the left and right shelves are pre installed in the frame, and torqued to such an extent that it is impossible to loosen them. Additionally they are not stainless steel, possibly zinc coated so they strip very easily. I had to use vice grips to try and loosen them. After 2.5 hours of work, I decided to return the grill

I need Customer Service to resolve this issue. Box was received mangled and torn to pieces. I have parts missing. Terrible delivery.

After a full year of use, my experience with the Blackstone griddle has been characterized more by structural frustration than culinary success. While the brand carries significant market "hype," the build quality and engineering of my specific unit failed to meet the basic requirements of an outdoor cooking station. Key Issues & Performance Flaws Structural & Leveling Inconsistencies: From the initial assembly, the unit suffered from a significant lack of balance. The adjustable feet were insufficient to compensate for what appeared to be a warped chassis or uneven frame construction. To achieve a functional cooking surface, I had to resort to using manual blocks to prop up the base—a workaround that should not be necessary for a product at this price point. Poor Grease Management: Because the griddle plate remained uneven despite standard leveling attempts, the integrated grease drainage system was rendered ineffective. Instead of flowing toward the discharge zone, grease pooled in dead spots, creating both a cleaning nightmare and a potential safety hazard. Subpar Burner Performance: The flame consistency has been a persistent issue. The burners provide uneven heat distribution, with frequent "blowouts" or weak flame output that suggests poor regulator quality or internal obstructions. It lacks the reliable, high-BTU performance required for professional-grade searing.
