28" Griddle with Hood

Blackstone's 28-inch two-burner propane griddle cart with a protective hood, rated at 24,000 BTU.

$399Approx. MSRP

Good for someone who wants weather protection without the size and cost of a 36" unit; check the grease-drain location before buying, older stock can still turn up.

Pros

  • Hood protects the plate from weather and dust between cooks
  • Easy, mess-free cleanup thanks to the rear grease system on current models
  • Good balance of size (28") and portability for a driveway or patio
  • Easy on the wallet ($399)

Watch-outs

  • Flat-top hood pools water rather than shedding it like a domed lid
  • Older stock/leftover units may still have the front-drain design that leaks grease down the cart
  • Side shelves are on the smaller side for prep space
  • Flat top only — no grill marks or low-and-slow smoke

Known niggles

  • Flat hood/cover design lets rainwater pool on top instead of running off
  • Older units had a front-mounted grease drain that let grease run down the side of the cart (fixed on newer rear-drain models)
