Overview
The Blackstone 1971 Omnivore is a portable propane griddle with a 17 inch, 267 square inch cooking surface, a powder coated steel body, stainless steel front plate, and push-and-turn piezo ignition.
This is gas-fired and freestanding rather than a stovetop pan, built for camping, hunting trips and tailgates. An H-style burner spreads heat across the plate, and Blackstone's rear grease management channel routes fat away from the cooking area instead of leaving it to build up under the food. Non-slip feet keep it steady on a folding table.
- 17 inch, 267 sq in cooking surface
- Powder coated steel body, stainless steel front plate
- Push-and-turn piezo ignition
- Rear grease management system
Who it's for
Suited to outdoor cooking away from a kitchen, whether that is a tailgate, campsite or backyard. Not a fit for anyone wanting an indoor griddle, since it runs on propane and needs open-air ventilation.
Pros and cons
- Portable propane griddle for camping and tailgating
- 267 square inch surface feeds 2 to 4 people
- Piezo ignition lights without a separate lighter
- Rear grease management channels fat away from food
- Requires a propane source, not usable indoors
Performance notes
The H-style burner is what gives an even heat across 267 square inches rather than hot spots near the flame, and the piezo ignition lights it without a separate lighter. The rear grease system is the practical part of cleanup, channeling fat out of the cooking zone instead of requiring a full wipe-down mid-cook.
