BLACKSTONE 36" W/HOOD

What we found

This is a Blackstone outdoor flat-top griddle with a 36-inch steel cooking surface and a lift-up hood that covers the top between uses. It runs on propane from a standard 20 lb tank that sits on the rolling cart underneath, so no electrical hookup is needed beyond the built-in igniter, and it is meant for outdoor use only on a patio, deck, or driveway. Four burners are controlled separately, giving you different heat zones across the plate, and the design includes folding side shelves for prep space, a rear grease channel that drains into a cup, and wheels for moving it into storage. It suits anyone cooking breakfast, burgers, smash patties, or fajitas for a group, or a taco and catering setup that needs a large flat surface rather than grates. Blackstone builds several 36-inch hooded models with slightly different carts and shelf heights, so bring a tape measure if it has to fit a specific spot or cover.
