Restaurant-Grade Blackstone 36" Outdoor Griddle Station with 4 Burner Propane Fueled Flat Top Grill and Side Shelf (1554)

William: I recently acquired a Blackstone griddle, and it has transformed my outdoor cooking experience, earning a well-deserved 5-star rating.

The Blackstone griddle is a culinary powerhouse. Its large cooking surface allows for versatile cooking, from pancakes and eggs to stir-fries and burgers. The even heat distribution ensures consistent results every time.

Maintenance is a breeze thanks to the removable griddle top, and the grease management system is efficient.

Whether it's a weekend brunch or a summer barbecue, the Blackstone griddle has become the centerpiece of my outdoor gatherings. It's a fantastic addition to any cook's arsenal and highly recommended for those who enjoy cooking outdoors.

Trish Fitzpatrick: I've always wanted an outdoor griddle and now my dream has come true. What a great birthday present!

The Blackstone Gas Griddle (36") is a four burner monster of searing heat. We put it together (I'm using the royal "we" of course) and cranked that sucker up. The process of seasoning was simple enough. We washed the surface with a bit of soapy water then rinsed and heated to dry. After that it was four episodes of slathering oil, wiping it off, and then high heat until the smoke cleared. Done!

Now I'm doing mammoth breakfasts with pancakes, eggs, hash browns, and bacon. We've made smash burgers, BLTs, and teppanyaki style BeniHana dinners. I'm in heaven! This is a great edition to any outdoor kitchen.

BEP: Love my 36”Blackstone griddle but very disappointed that I couldn’t buy an original cover for it.Bought a 1554 model on Amazon and after I received it learned that I had to buy an after market cover.

Richard J. Monreal: I live in a three-bedroom townhouse with an electric stove in Mesa, Arizona. If you can stay away from generating heat in your living space, you do it. The Blackstone 36-inch grill helps me cook everything outside and even allows me to do things (more easily) to add extra flavors to food. Cooking multiple items in a small kitchen requires many pans to get everything ready. Either that or you’re cooking things one at a time increasing cooking time. Breakfast used to be an absolute chore and we did not look forward to it. Now with the 36-inch cooking surface, we can have a great breakfast in under 20 minutes. The cleanup is super easy. For example, we get pre-cooked bacon from Costco, Bisquick for pancakes, and hash brown patties from Walmart. The breakfast is significantly cheaper than Denny’s (our usual go-to spot) and much more affordable as you can get multiple breakfasts out of what you spend.

Cooking burgers is another great example of what takes less time on the Blackstone. Usually, when you cook burgers on a conventional grill, you’re just going to cook your burgers up and not cook any sides on the grill, or you’re less likely to. On the Blackstone, you can...

Fed: Worth the money. But it’s a lot of money.
Kinda wish I bought a cheaper version. But cooking on this flat top is awesome.

SD: This is an excellent griddle. We’ve had ours for almost 3 months and have been using it a few times a week. Everything tastes so much more flavourful on the griddle and cooking times are way less. Cleanup is easy. The first and most important thing to do once the griddle is assembled is season it thoroughly. Don’t miss this step. There so many helpful YouTube videos on seasoning and recipes for black stone grilling. Another tip for cooking is use butter instead of oils. I’ve tried both and the butter works the best. The only thing I’m disappointed about is the price of the griddle it was way more expensive on Amazon. I paid close to $300 more than what it’s going for at Costco currently 36 inch with cover $480…big difference.

MilesToGoMilesToGo: This review is for the 36” Blackstone griddle (model 1554) which I have been using for over a year now. Overall I have found this griddle to be an outstanding value, especially for its price point. You might be able to find a better griddle, but you will spend a LOT more money.

Some simple assembly is required. My griddle came in a single box. Cut the two plastic straps and the box lid lifts right off. The components seem well packed. I used a 10mm wrench, an adjustable wrench, and a Philips screwdriver to assemble. Once I had it unpacked, assembly took about 15 mins. If I had someone assisting, we probably would have been done in 10 mins or less. Blackstone has a helpful 3 min assembly video you can watch either on Blackstone’s site or on youtube search for “Blackstone 36" Griddle Assembly”. I weighed the griddle top in at 55.5lbs. If you’re not comfortable lifting a bulky item of this weight, get someone to help you.

If you discover a problem with your new griddle, email or call Blackstone directly. Page 23 in my manual had their customer service phone and email. I had a small issue and found their customer service to be extremely helpful. Replies to...
