Overview
The Blackstone 1813 is a 22 inch tabletop propane griddle with 361 square inches of cooking space, a stainless steel front plate, and an integrated hood for storage between trips.
It sits between a full size grill and a car camping stove: small enough for a tailgate table but heavy enough that reviewers describe carrying it rather than sliding it. The hood mainly keeps the plate clean in storage rather than trapping heat during cooking.
- 361 square inches of cooking space, room for up to 14 burgers
- 24,000 combined BTUs across two independently controlled burners
- Integrated hood protects the griddle top between uses
- Push-and-turn piezo ignition and non-slip feet
Who it's for
Fits campers, tailgaters and small households that want griddle cooking without a fixed outdoor kitchen setup, serving roughly 4 to 8 people off two burners.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently praise the even heat across both burners and how quickly grease cleanup goes thanks to the rear collection system, with several saying a single small propane tank lasts longer than expected on camping trips. The main complaint is weight: buyers who expected an easy-to-carry portable griddle found it heavy enough to want a protective mat underneath on a table or counter, and one reviewer noted the non-slip feet can bend if the unit is slid rather than lifted.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 361 square inches fits up to 14 burgers at once
- Two independent burners for hot and cool zones
- Integrated hood keeps the plate protected in storage
- Rear grease system keeps drippings off the cooking surface
- Heavier than the compact footprint suggests
- Feet can bend if the unit is dragged instead of lifted
- Some owners want a heat-resistant mat underneath it
Performance notes
Two independently controlled H-style burners put out a combined 24,000 BTUs across the 22 inch surface, with push-and-turn piezo ignition for lighting. The rear grease management system channels drippings to a rear cup, and non-slip feet are meant to hold the unit in place on a table.
