28" Omnivore Griddle

Blackstone's base 28-inch two-burner propane griddle cart without a hood, rated at 24,000 BTU.

$279Approx. MSRP
Great fortight budgetssmash burgers & breakfast

Good mid-size griddle for a family that wants Blackstone's newer even-heating plate at a lower price than the hooded version; skip it if you want built-in weather protection.

Pros

  • 314-517 sq in class cooking area is a good size for a family without being huge
  • Omnivore Griddle Plate technology heats more evenly and recovers faster than older flat plates
  • Two independently controlled heat zones for basic multi-dish cooking
  • Easy on the wallet ($279)

Watch-outs

  • No hood on the base Omnivore model, so the plate sits exposed between cooks
  • Open-cart design has less storage/shelf space than hooded models
  • Still steel, so needs seasoning discipline to avoid rust
  • Flat top only — no grill marks or low-and-slow smoke

Known niggles

  • Rust on the plate and frame if not oiled after each use
  • Igniter wiring can be jostled loose in shipping
