Grills & Flat-Top Griddles

Unlock edge-to-edge heat and restaurant-quality sears with Blackstone flat-top griddles built for smash burgers, breakfast hash, hibachi night, and everything in between. Whether you are cooking for two on a tabletop or feeding a tailgate crowd on a 36" four-zone station, a flat-top griddle turns any patio, campsite, or parking lot into a full outdoor kitchen - no learning curve, no flare-ups, just pure searing surface.

The lineup spans four footprints to match how you actually cook. The 17" On the Go Griddle & Grill Combo ($499.99) is tailgate and camping royalty - compact enough for a truck bed, powerful enough for a family breakfast. The 22" Electric Tabletop Griddle ($279.99) plugs in for apartment patios and indoor-friendly cooking. The 28" Griddle with Hood ($399-$449) is the crowd favorite sweet spot for most backyards, and the 36" Omnivore and Original models ($399-$549.99) give you four independent burner zones for hosting eight-plus hungry guests at once. Pair any griddle with our accessory toolkits for spatulas, scrapers, and squeeze bottles, then shield your investment with a fitted griddle cover.

Why flat-top? The cold-rolled steel cook surface distributes heat more evenly than grill grates, giving you the signature smash-burger lacy crust, perfect diner-style pancakes, and wok-less stir fries. Want the full outdoor cookout arsenal? Browse our grilling and outdoor cooking collection to pair a griddle with a pizza oven or pellet smoker. Ready to master the surface? The Blackstone recipe library is stacked with griddle-specific cooks, and Serious Eats has the definitive smash-burger science breakdown.

From backyard brunches to tailgate showdowns, the right Blackstone flat-top griddle turns everyday cooking into an event. Shop the full griddle collection and find the size, power, and features that fit your crew.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size Blackstone griddle is right for me?
Match griddle size to your typical crowd. The 17" feeds 2-3 people and is ideal for camping and tailgating. The 22" electric tabletop suits apartment patios and plug-in indoor-friendly cooks. The 28" is the sweet-spot for most backyards - enough surface for burgers plus sides for a family of four to six. The 36" has four independent heat zones and comfortably cooks for eight-plus guests. Size up when in doubt - empty griddle real estate is never wasted.
How do I season a new flat-top griddle?
Before first use, scrub the surface with warm soapy water to remove factory oils, rinse, and dry completely. Crank all burners to high, then apply a thin, even layer of a high-smoke-point oil (flaxseed, avocado, or Blackstone seasoning conditioner) using a paper towel and tongs. Let it smoke until the surface darkens, then cool and repeat 3-4 times. You are aiming for a deep black, non-stick patina. After every cook, scrape, wipe, and re-oil to keep the seasoning strong.
Can I use a Blackstone griddle in cold or wet weather?
Yes - flat-top griddles work year-round thanks to propane burners with high BTU output. Cold weather may extend preheat time by a few minutes, and wind can cause uneven heat, so a wind-blocking hood or wall helps. Always use a weatherproof cover between uses to prevent rust and protect electronics on electric models. After rainy storage, heat the surface dry and re-oil before cooking.
What's the difference between the Omnivore and Original griddles?
The Original is the classic Blackstone flat-top - cold-rolled steel, H-style burners, and a straightforward cooking surface. The Omnivore upgrades to a ribbed center strip that lets you sear grill-style steak marks or cook traditionally, plus enhanced burner controls and updated side shelves. Choose Original if you want the iconic smash-burger experience at a lower price; choose Omnivore if you want grill-marks and griddle in one station. Both accept the same covers and accessories.
What accessories do I need to cook on a griddle?
At minimum, grab two long stainless spatulas, a scraper/chopper, a squeeze bottle for water or oil, and a heat-resistant glove. Our accessory toolkits bundle 5-, 12-, and 30-piece starter sets so you skip the guesswork. Add a basting dome for melting cheese on smash burgers, egg rings for breakfast sandwiches, and a side shelf rail system once you want more prep space for ingredients and sauces.
