Overview

A backyard patio feeding family and friends is where the Blackstone Original earns its space. Four burners heat a large steel griddle plate in separate zones, a hood covers it between cooks, and side shelves fold out for prep and down for storage.

Four separate zones let you cook eggs, pancakes and burgers at once at different temperatures. The hood and wind guards help in breezy weather. It is a flat top only, so anyone who wants grill marks or smoke needs a grill too.

Who it's for

Backyard cooks feeding crowds and families who love smash burgers and breakfast outside will use the space. Small patios or anyone wanting a classic grill should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Large surface for big batches
  • Four independent heat zones
  • Hood protects the plate
  • Wind guards hold heat
Cons
  • Griddle only, no grates
  • Burner BTU not listed
  • Large footprint on small patios

Performance notes

Independent burners create hot and cool zones across the plate, which is how full meals cook at once. The carbon steel plate holds heat, and wind guards limit heat loss outdoors. The rear grease system channels drippings away for cleanup.
