Hey there grill masters and outdoor cooking enthusiasts! Are you looking to take your backyard culinary skills to the next level? Well, look no further than the Blackstone grill griddle combo! This versatile grill and griddle station is an absolute game-changer for cooking up delicious eats in your outdoor living space.
With this powerhouse 2-in-1 grill you get the best of both worlds – a spacious flat top griddle for breakfast classics, sear marks on steaks, and crispy veggies paired with a traditional grill side for getting those perfect chargrill marks on burgers and dogs. No matter what’s on your weekend menu, this Blackstone dual cooking station has you covered morning, noon, and night!
Griddle Cooking Perfected
Let’s start on the left side with that epic griddle cooking surface. At 36 inches wide, you get a whopping 720 square inches of cooktop – one of the largest griddles on the market. That means you can cook a full spread of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns all at once for the whole family or crew. No need to cook in shifts – throw it all on at the same time!
This extra large griddle is made from cold rolled steel which provides an ultra smooth and stick resistant surface. Food slides around with ease and those scrambled eggs won’t stick like they do on stainless steel. The griddle features both a center rear grease channel and front grease trap for catching all that bacon drippage so your cooktop stays neat and tidy.
Underneath you’ll find two powerful stainless steel burners that heat the griddle extremely evenly. No more cold spots or undercooked pancakes! Each burner cranks out 15,000 BTUs for a combined grilling power of 30,000 BTUs. Crank them both up to high heat for an instant sear or keep it low and slow for melting cheese on sandwiches. The griddle maintains your chosen temperature beautifully thanks to the thick cold rolled steel.
Do you love whipping up stir fries, fajitas, and other sizzling skillet meals? You can easily transform this griddle into a giant skillet by purchasing the optional soup pot. This stainless steel pot fits perfectly over one griddle burner to contain sauces, fried rice, and more.
barbecue Bliss on the Grill Side
Now let’s move over to the right side grill which also offers 720 square inches of cooking surface. That’s enough room for about 20 burgers or a heaping pile of chicken wings!
This section is outfitted with four cast iron grill grates that provide tons of evenly heated surface area. The grates create those coveted sear marks on meats for added flavor. They also allow smaller foods like shrimp and vegetables to get char-grilled without falling through the cracks.
Underneath the grates you’ll find another set of two 15,000 BTU burners made from durable stainless steel. They fire up each time with the push of an ignition button – no need for matches! Like the griddle side, these independently controlled burners allow you to create separate heat zones for direct or indirect cooking. Crank them up as high as they’ll go for steak night or keep the heat gentle and consistent for slow smoked pork shoulder.
Not in the mood for actual grilling? Use this entire side as a secondary griddle by adding on another griddle top accessory. With two griddles you’ll have enough room to cook for a small army!
Built to Last
This durably constructed grill-griddle combo is designed to live outdoors and hold up to all the elements. The powder coated steel frame resists rust and stands up against wind and rain when the cover is on. The four heavy duty caster wheels make it easy to move this 145 lb unit wherever you need it on your patio or yard. Two of the wheels can lock for extra stability while you’re cooking.
All the critical components like the burners, grease management system, controls, and grill grates are made from premium materials like stainless steel and cast iron. Owners rave about the reliability and solid construction – this Blackstone model will be your outdoor cooking companion for years of parties and meals.
Some griddles and grills skimp on important features, but not the Blackstone grill griddle station! It comes with a battery powered ignition button, built-in grease catch buckets, and an attached bottom shelf for storage. The shelves on each side are ideal for plates, tools, seasonings, or ingredients. They provide plenty of convenient prep space when cooking for a crowd.
Effortless to Clean
Wondering how difficult this large 2-in-1 cooking station is to clean after a long day of grilling and griddling? Thankfully, Blackstone designed this combo unit with simple cleanup in mind.
Both the grill and griddle feature rear grease management systems to capture drippings and prevent flareups. The removable catch trays simply empty out when full. The griddle’s slight tilt and smooth surface also prevent food debris from getting stuck on. A quick scrub with a grill brush or spatula removes any leftover charred bits after cooking.
Finish cleaning by running a damp paper towel over the griddle – no need for soap which can impact seasoning over time. A monthly deep cleaning with vinegar is recommended. The grill grates conveniently pop out for easy rinsing.
The exterior of the Blackstone combo is also a breeze to wipe down. No need for heavy duty scrubbing or chemicals. Try to avoid using abrasive scouring pads which may scratch the finish.
When done cooking, give everything a quick clean and cover it up to maintain optimal outdoor lifespan. Easy peasy! No need to dread the post-party mess with this user-friendly cooking station.
Perfect for Entertaining
The Blackstone griddle and grill combo truly excels when it comes to entertaining! No more running back and forth between the kitchen and patio. You can prep, cook, and serve everything guests need without leaving your outdoor living space.
Got a big family? No problem – this extra large capacity unit lets you cook mountains of food to keep the whole gang well fed. Planning a neighborhood block party? Breakfast for 20? Tailgating for the whole team? This grill-griddle combo has the versatility, power, and capacity to make it happen. Two cooks can team up to seriously crank out the eats!
Even on smaller weeknight cookouts this 2-in-1 unit makes cooking super simple for the home chef. Burgers, hot dogs, and veggies on the grill while you sauté onions, toast buns, and melt cheese on the flat top. Prepare, assemble, and serve burgers without running back inside.
Entertaining also gets a boost from the ample prep space provided. Use the side shelves to organize ingredients and platters or as a buffet for appetizers. The bottom shelf is handy for bulky supplies like propane tanks, charcoal bags, or big platters and bowls. No more cluttered tables!
Master Multitasking
My favorite thing about this Blackstone griddle and grill combo? The amazing multitasking capabilities! You can truly pull off a full gourmet spread with this one unit. Here are just some of the combos you can create:
- Pancakes, bacon, and eggs on the griddle while grilling up a side of breakfast sausage on the other half.
- Burgers or hot dogs on the grill while sautéing onions and mushrooms on the griddle. Melt the cheese right on the griddle too!
- Chicken sizzling on the grill side while you stir fry veggies with shrimp on the flat top.
- Smoked pulled pork finishing on the grill as you use the griddle like a plancha to sear tortillas.
- Grilled flank steak sliced up while you make quesadillas, loaded nachos, and fajitas on the griddle.
The options are endless when you have 720 square inches of grill and 720 square inches of griddle! Why settle for a single cooking surface when you can multitask like a pro on the Blackstone combo?
Luxury Features without the Price Tag
High end grills equipped with a flat top griddle can run upwards of $2,000 – $3,000, putting them out of reach for many. The Blackstone griddle and grill station delivers that same premium multi-functionality at a fraction of the cost.
Given the affordable price point under $500, it’s an incredible value when you consider the rugged construction, versatile cooking options, and commercial grade power and performance. This combo unit punches well above its weight class.
While not loaded with fancy extras like cabinetry or side burners, the Blackstone combo focuses on superb core cooking functionality. No fluff or added costs – just a workhorse grilling and griddling machine designed to handle feast after feast.
