About Blackstone
Blackstone is an American outdoor cooking brand that launched its first product, the 36" Blackstone Griddle, in 2008 and has since grown into a full range of flat-top griddles, pizza ovens and accessories. Its products are designed and engineered in the USA around one idea: cooking the whole meal outside instead of leaving half of it in the kitchen. In the UK the range covers gas and electric griddles from 17" tabletop models to 36" griddle stations, plus tool kits, cleaning and care products, and fitted covers and carry bags.

Which Blackstone griddle should I choose?
Start with how many people you cook for and where you'll use it. A 17" or 22" tabletop griddle packs into the car for camping and festivals and covers two to four people. A 28" or 36" griddle station is the garden centrepiece, with room to cook a full breakfast or a batch of burgers in one go. Choose gas for the most heat and complete outdoor freedom, or electric if you'd rather plug in. Whichever you pick, add a toolkit, grease cup liners and a cover in the matching size. Pair it with a MEATER wireless meat thermometer for thicker cuts, and see more in outdoor.
Blackstone FAQs
Q: What is a Blackstone griddle?
A: A flat-top outdoor cooker with a solid steel cooking surface heated by gas burners or an electric element, so you can cook foods that would fall through a barbecue grill — eggs, pancakes, smash burgers, rice and vegetables — all at the same time.
Q: What size Blackstone griddle should I buy?
A: The range comes in 17", 22", 28" and 36" sizes. The 17" and 22" tabletop models suit camping, balconies and smaller households; the 28" and 36" griddle stations with side shelves are built for cooking for families and parties.
Q: Should I choose a gas or electric Blackstone griddle?
A: Gas griddles give the most heat and can be used anywhere outdoors. Electric griddles plug into the mains, so they suit patios, balconies and places where an open gas flame isn't practical.
Q: Do I need to season a Blackstone griddle?
A: Yes. The steel cooktop is seasoned with thin layers of oil before first use, building a natural non-stick, rust-resistant surface. Re-oil it after each cook and keep it covered when not in use.
Q: Which Blackstone accessories do I need first?
A: Most owners start with a spatula and scraper toolkit, rear grease cup liners and a cover sized to their griddle. Basting covers, griddle presses and cleaning kits are popular next additions.
