PIT BOSS ULTIMATE GRIDDLE VS. BLACKSTONE | Which griddle is best for you?

[@terrypenn3949]

I had my mind up to buy the Blackstone 3 burner at Walmart. The day I went to make my purchase they had the 3 burner Pitt Boss Sierra ceramic. Both under $400. After some back and forth comparison I decided on the Pitt Boss. I liked the location of the grease cup better. The build quality seemed more solid especially the lid. The lid on the Blackstone was a poor sloppy fit and seemed tinny. Seeing the clean up chore friends have with their Blackstone and problem with rust, the ceramic was the final decider. Been a few months and couldn't be happier. Probably use it 3 or 4 times a week. Breakfast, burgers, shrimp and fajitas. I can do a meal in half the time as with kitchen cooktop and heat and smells are outside. Clean up with water on a hot surface is quick. Surface still looks new. I only use silicone spatulas, wooden scrapers and paper towels to wipe down. Warranty on the griddle is 2 years. Those that have replaced theirs under warranty that I've seen in reviews have had no problem doing so but everyone admitted to using metal tools on the surface. I guess PB didn't require silicone originally. They do now

[@bbqbymazie]

Thanks for sharing!! The ease of clean up is definitely my favorite part. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience 😊.

[@yousefo9825]

now that you had it for 6 months how has it been for you? do you recommend i buy it?

[@believestthouthis7]

The Pit Boss featured here is currently $673.92 in comparison to the Blackstone at $297.00 at Walmart. That's a huge price difference unfortunately. The question is basically do people want to buy a giant non-stick pan or a giant cast iron pan? They seem very different.

[@MrMtrent5]

We've used this griddler for a variety of items including steak, fish, vegetables kzbin.infoUgkxMcXT6_MuT0hB3ejyGQQHaeof9bwoWPUf and mushrooms and it's been great! Gets that great smokey flavor when using high heat or sear. The grill works amazingly simple and very low smoke for what it is. Heat gets up fairly quick, especially on closed position. The griddler side is fairly simple, better for eggs and pancakes rather than any cooking. Use the flat plates with the grill side if needed.Cleanup is easy and having heat on both sides is great for cooking a large amount or panini press.This definitely gets hot though so be careful with the sides.

[@bbqbymazie]

Facts!!

[@JefferyWilliams-z5u]

I bought a Pit Boss recently and agree with you on everything. I gave away my grill a couple of years ago because of all the issues surrounding the traditional grill. I love my Pit Boss and cook on it regularly.

[@prestonhill9320]

Just picked up my Pitboss sierra today at Walmart!! Be sure to check it out. I paid 387 dollars for the 3 burner with the non stick griddle. The only difference is the name and the paint job oh and the fact it’s 300 dollars cheaper!

[@YouTubeWeAllTube]

If you're not big on seasoned food, I can see the appeal of the Pit Boss. But I need that blackstone seasoned griddle taste. 🤤

[@sjgoff]

I have used both and ultimately bought the Blackstone. The temperatures across the Blackstone is just more consistent and holds heat better - also the surface will last a lifetime without the need to worry about using certain tools. It may just be me but the food tasted better on the Blackstone. Maybe because of a seasoned surface?

[@CGB999]

i clean my blackstone when it's real HOT. Scrape the leftovers off then squart water on it. The water then boils and steams all the remaining bits from the surface, Do that a few times then wipe with paper towels. Let cool and apply thin coat of oil.

[@conrsd]

Pink walrus! Lol! The blackstone will clean up faster if it's hot enough to boil the water. The steam lifts the mess off.

[@chrisrandol9157]

Just started watching your videos.....love them, your upfront and down to earth...just bought my pit boss pro 1150 smoker....loved your steak video so started subscribing. I have the big Blackstone, now I watch this video, wow such a difference!

[@Equinox051256]

I own a Pit Boss Vertical Smoker and love it but I prefer the "cast iron" seasoned griddle top of the Blackstone. Once it's seasoned correctly, it's essentially a non-stick surface as well. I've love cast iron skillets and have never had an issue with anything sticking to them if seasoned properly and maintained. But as they say, to each his/her own. 🍔

[@jodycourt]

$374 for 3 burner Pit Boss Sierra from Walmart. We just bought one and love it so far! Pink Walrus!

[@CharmingGecko]

Oh man. I’m glad I waited on the Blackstone. The Pit Boss is a game changer.

[@bbqbymazie]

It really is! It’s made my life so much easier!

[@desertfox3860]

Pink Walrus! I've been cooking for over 65 years! I've spent 100's of dollars on non-stick cookware and will not buy anymore. I hope that cook surface does everything you want it to do.

[@marcr4566]

Pink Walrus. Thanks for the info. I've had a PB Sierra for over a year. Love it!

[@williamsmith2862]

Made my mind up watching this. Love the Pit Boss. Thank you posting.....

[@ryangaffer8311]

I just bought a blackstone I found the seasoning process fairly easy. And the cleaning process for me is not bad at all.

[@bbqbymazie]

That’s great for you

[@edwardbrogan7341]

I was always taught you clean as you cook,makes everything easier on the blackstone! Good video,thanks !

[@bigolemike33]

Thanks!

[@StvRob76]

Pink Walrus and I have the Pit boss Sierra and so glad of my decision. Now my grilling arsenal is complete!

[@bbqbymazie]

That’s an excellent addition!

[@JR-hy2mq]

I got the Blackstone 3 burner flat top with 2 burner side and fryer with the lid. Came assembled and delivered from RC Wiley. For me I like the steel over the ceramic but that is just me. Very easy to season and clean and this is my first griddle. Good review of both

[@ryanalexander1288]

Pw 18:40 I think it was a great review. I will say the PB is very nice but 3 times the price I struggle a bit, that being said I will probably get it. I was looking at the BS adventure series but if this is more portable than my 36 in BS than it may be a winner. Portable griddle, pizza oven, and charcoal grill, and I’m in business

[@ralphchavez1848]

I was just given a Blackstone knock off and lots of work to clean. I have a table top ceramic and a lot easier. Best of all is the griddle dance. I'm subscribing!!!

[@bbqbymazie]

Thanks for the support! Enjoy that griddle!

[@NicholasWalsh]

Pink Walrus! I just got my Pit Boss 4 burner model and did my first cook last night. I won't make my full assessment until I have fully put it through it's paces but so far I am impressed and happy with my choice! Thanks for the great video 🤙

[@Michigan_Wolverine]

How hot does it get?

[@NicholasWalsh]

@@Michigan_Wolverine Pit Boss recommends that you do a 15 minute burn-in before your first cook, mine got up to 675 after running on high for 15 minutes.

[@Michigan_Wolverine]

@@NicholasWalsh Perfect...thank you. I want a hoy grill. My big worry about this is that it wont get hot enough.

[@shawn_143]

I don't know about griddles but pit boss does make some quality products with excellent customer service and warranty especially for the price

[@abrizuela2691]

Pink walrus!!! Awesome video. Before this I was completely sold on the Blackstone. But now doing more research on the Pit boss 😎

[@bbqbymazie]

Nice! Either way a griddle is so fun to have!

[@jenniferscheiter3609]

[@bbqbymazie]

Awesome! I’m glad I could help you with your decision! I hope you enjoy it 😌

[@matthewandvik6478]

Thanks for the video, Pink Walrus! (People probably think I'm being mean). I've been watching videos all week because Fleet Farm has the Ultimate Griddle 3-burner on sale for $379 over here in Minnesota!!! Crazy. It's been the griddle that I've been wanting and couldn't believe the ad when I saw that sale price. So now I've been watching all the comparison vids between PB and Blackstone, and I'm so happy to see the majority going with Pit Boss. Biggest thing for me is, the wife and I have been talking about getting one. I'd say yeah, but where do we keep it, here or the lake? Now we don't have to decide. The base stays home and the top goes with us on the weekends. I also have the PB Pro Series pellet smoker. It's a great brand.

[@bbqbymazie]

Oh it sounds like the portability the griddle is definitely right up your alley!! I think you’ll like how it holds up in your winters too!

[@karlsimonian1424]

For me the question will always be about the ceramic durability over multiple years. I like that can completely refinish my Blackstone griddle surface if I need to. But if the ceramic is truly able to last for years, it's obviously way easier to clean.

[@bbqbymazie]

I agree, I’ll have to update on the ceramic in a few years and see how it’s holding up!

[@bbqbymazie]

Awesome! I’m glad I could help with the decision!!

[@nledelnr]

I've never owned an outdoor griddle. The Porcelain pans I use in the house don't last too long. I'm interested to know how often you re-season the Blackstone. Would more frequent re-seasoning make clean up easier. I do like the idea of using a metal spatula to chop/cut/work the food that's on the grill, but you made a compelling pitch for the porcelain covered grill, with portability.

[@Schneeerich]

theres no reason to season the ceramic top of the pit boss

[@nledelnr]

@@Schneeerich ceramic wears off. What do you do then?

[@Schneeerich]

@@nledelnr i didnt know that. For me steel is the way to go. I dont wanna be careful all the time and hoping not to damage the ceramic surface.

[@detroitgator1]

Pink Walrus! EVERYTHING tastes like oil on the Blackstone. Not so on pit boss. Have the Blackstone for over 3 years and probably used it 10 times total. Hate how everything tastes like oil and clean up sux. Just got the Pit boss and put it together a month ago and have already used it 3 times. Love it.

Pick,walrus, thanks for an informative and entertaining video. I am going to buy an outdoor griddle and this helped me. My biggest issue is connecting to natural gas as My current Weber gas grill is connected to natural gas and propane bottles are a pain.

[@bbqbymazie]

I’m not sure if they have a way to convert it but if you don’t have to mess with propane tanks I don’t blame you! There’s nothing worse than running out in the middle of a cook 🫠

[@bbqbymazie]

Awesome!! Thanks for watching!

[@richieny70]

Pink Walrus! I am convinced now that I need a Blackstone with a ceramic cook surface. So, I'll wait patiently until this option becomes available. Based on the very well executed bread test the Pit Boss has more temperature fluctuations on its surface rendering about half the surface a warming location. Great Video!!

[@MrFordguy73]

They're E-Series electric has the ceramic top, so I have the best of both worlds with my 36 inch steel Blackstone and 22 in ceramic for camping. The 22 has two zones and they have a 17-in E-Series, but I'm sure you probably figured that out since it's videos a little bit older. Good luck, have fun cooking.

Great video , I'm going to buy either or very soon. My wife wants a black stone , but might change her mind after this video.

[@bbqbymazie]

Either one is better than none at all, so just make the wife happy 😌.

[@brandonbeard8488]

Pink walrus, and a very informative video. I love to cook and have everything from ceramic coated to cast iron and love it all. The downside to ceramic coated is once that starts to chip there is no saving it, but with the Blackstone depending on how bad the rust is you can clean it and save the Grill. I'm not a big fan of where the PB has the grease trap, yeah I'm sure it makes getting the grease in there easier but the amount of cook space that you lose because of that big hole even though it's not extremely large it's still crucial in my opinion. So I think the black stone has the better grease trap, both have their pros and cons as with anything. But in my opinion the size of the cooktop and the price are just two reasons alone on why I would go with the Blackstone

[@kendesroches9867]

Pink Walrus, thanks for the comparison video. Judging from your video, I would have to go with the Blackstone. If I was buying one, I would be looking at the cooking surface, the constancy of the temperature. To be fair if you were cooking 2 smash burgers and no more, that little hot corner would suffice. Now the cleaning part of it ... but you have to clean both, bit the Pit Boss looks easier, but less on the cooking performance in MY opinion.
