HUGE NEWS - All New Blackstone Camping Griddles available NOW!

[@JMS_Outdoors]

Man, I was excited to see these compact portable camping setups. I get the idea of a lighter weight to not have to lug around a heavier set up. But the non stick coating on an aluminum griddle and plastic utensils were a no go. Gotta keep lugging around the regular griddle for now I guess. Hoping for improvements on this idea in the future. Still love my Blackstones though.

[@Russellt198]

I had the same exact thoughts, huge miss on the non stick coating in my opinion.

[@contentofcharacter]

I concur. Hopefully they’ll see this feedback. You’d think they would have discovered this was a mistake when doing market research prior to going into mass production.

[@garretlewis4103]

@@contentofcharacter Maybe they didn't do much market research, if any. I don't think many people like the non-stick aluminum. If they did, Blackstone would already be making them across all of their griddle series/sizes.

[@patrickoneill6821]

Wife and I camp out of our Tacoma so size and weight are definitely a factor, we have the Adventure 17 and by the time you lug a tank and all the griddle accessories it almost makes it more trouble than it's worth. Trying to find out the weight of these new stoves.

[@Steelergeek69]

After 6 cookouts still looks new! So much dig the non stick. Cleans with paper towels

[@grillyeah]

Great idea for camping cause the 22in is pretty heavy and bulky, but the cold rolled steel, metal or wooden utensils is something that lasts. I would be sold if it wasn't for that aluminum coated surface, either way its gonna be a hit! Cheers

[@bigvisk1125]

That's pretty cool. I get the reason for the aluminum griddle but if I'd rather a steel griddle :)

Just buy the 17” inch table top version.

[@JWimpy]

I can't believe Blackstone is making more products with Teflon coating. I do not even own coated pans in my kitchen so why would I want it on my camp stove. My favorite feature of my Blackstone is the tough durable steel cook surface.

Yes, odd how Blackstone makes a product that millions of people buy every year in some form or another.

[@garretlewis4103]

I am with you on that one.

[@robertd5421]

[@jimbob9631]

Seriously, I bought my travel size Razor griddle because it was the lowest profile of the travel griddles. I was going to replace it with this because this looks like a better package but I'm going to be sticking with my steel griddle after seeing this.

[@garretlewis4103]

I too was sold until he said aluminum. You may want to check out the Camp Chef products. They have some modularity.

[@skidoomxz550x]

They’ll never make one with cast iron, as they’ve never used cast iron on any of their griddles.

[@garretlewis4103]

@@skidoomxz550x Fair enough. I think many are disappointed, myself included, it is an aluminum cooking surface. Currently on the Blackstone website from an October 31, 2022 article, "All Blackstone gas griddles come with an unseasoned flat-top grill surface made of cold-rolled steel. Steel is an optimal surface for cooking on because it’s heavy-duty, it conducts heat well, and when seasoned properly, it provides an almost non-stick surface. Seasoning your griddle provides a hardened surface like a shell that protects the griddle over time." I guess Blackstone needs to update their website as not ALL Blackstones have a steel cooking surface. I recently found out the Blackstone electric griddles have a non-stick aluminum cook surface.

[@skidoomxz550x]

@@garretlewis4103 You just said it was a 2022 article, so you can’t honestly expect that to be up to date. If someone wants to know what a product is made of, they should be reading the product page, not a random article from 2 years ago.

After MANY issues yesterday trying to find one I finally scored mine today. NOW if I can only find the ( Plastic ) Blackstone accessories for my New Griddle. I got this to replace the 17" Blackstone Griddle and separate side stove I have in my Bug-Out -Camper.

[@TheTroopersCorner]

Yup, bought one yesterday, will get to use it in a couple weeks when we camp near Leadville. We have silicone utensils for our non stick pots & pans so that’s no big change, Thanks!

[@bubbalo3388]

Both camping griddles are brilliant. Only problem is the aluminium griddles with nonstick. I get it is to save weight and would be really easy to clean. But just like all nonstick the coating eventually fails and food will stick and it will be a pain to clean and wear to a point where it needs to be replaced. It just depends on how careful you are, how high temperature you use and how often you use it.

[@jimbob9631]

Who is bringing a griddle along that is thinking about weight savings? This is 100% because Blackstone is saving money using a cheap nonstick coating on aluminum and passing it off as "weight savings".

[@OmahaWayne]

@@jimbob9631 Lots of people that are using them in rv's. The 22" is just to big an heavy to be carrying around in an rv. We ended up getting a rack for the back of the 5th wheel just to carry the damn grill. We were really hoping blackstone would make a smaller dual burner without all the cheap aluminum teflon crap.

[@fueledbyadventures]

​@jimbob9631 I am one, carried the 22" for a while. Then got tired of the space it takes and how cumbersom/heavy it is. Whent back to a camping stove. I do have to say that I was let down when I saw it was teflon coated. I love a well seasoned cast iron or even a stainless cooking surface. Also, that side burner looks weak.

Looks nice but one issue sticks out, Burner space seems tight fit for a pan or pot. Should have elevated the grill above the sidewall and skillet plate, allowing for a standard pan width.

[@jeffstewart3170]

Picking one up tomorrow. Will be doing some boat camping on Lake Powell. I like that it is lighter weight, compact suitcase style, yet offers an amazing grill and stove top. Looking forward to trying it out. I have a 17 inch already and really like that for SUV camping, however the portability suitcase, lighter weight, will be a benefit on trips, especially boating.

[@mikeg.2240]

I like a side burner. Make the spaghetti on the side cook the meat on the griddle. Kind of like a mullet. Businesses in the front party in the back.

Not only that. Soak your crappie/bluegill fillers in Frank's red-hot then bread them zatarings breading and skillet fry them on the side burner. Shesh

[@txhornsba]

I absolutely love the design/form factor with the suitcase design. Not sure I am fully sold on the cast aluminum cook top. Feels more like a disposable item as we all know cast aluminum skillets have a distinctive shelf life. I realize they are doing it for weight concerns, but that is so damn close to being the perfect camping griddle.

[@praisehisawesomename]

As long as you use the plastic spatulas, you’ll be fine. The only problem is when you get the guy who says “I will not use that plastic spatula and he insists on using a metal one! “ lol I sure do appreciate you watching!

[@garretlewis4103]

@@praisehisawesomename Other things can damage/mess up that non-stick coating too. The old cast iron griddle/skillets/etc. are pretty forgiving if you mess up. Not so much with Teflon pans or other coated non-stick aluminum. Definitely have to be more careful with using this one. To me, camping is a place you want something more "rough and tumble" (cast iron) vs. something more delicate (non-stick aluminum).

[@kellstat]

Cool, but no one wants aluminum, especially while camping. PERIOD. Make the case out of aluminum, and the griddle out of stainless steel, high carbon steel. If Blackstone needs some help with designing, let me know.

[@kckettridge]

[@RWD-SD]

Tailgated with one today and it generally worked great (even heat, plenty of room, ceramic surprisingly excellent performance, and easy clean-up). One problem was the handle. It's hallow plastic and mine broke just lifting up the grill. Debating whether to keep and try to find a fix (metal to replace it) or return it as I can see this being a frequent issue as it's a substandard design at a stress point. The Blackstone tote has a better handle design and doesn't weight nearly as much.

I actually seen these in the camping isle today at Walmart while I was perusing when they were doing my oil change.

[@Paul-bf7nj]

Todd, I get it, but I have 3 Blackstones and I can’t tell the difference in the taste of food cooked on the aluminum once I got it seasoned. It’s lighter, heats up faster, does not rust and generally easier to clean up. Yes, I also prefer cast iron but for people that cook on it once or twice a month it’s great. For tailgating it’s perfect! So, maybe they missed for the hardcore cast iron cookers, but it has its market.

If you just want to use a griddle or a burner and not both at the same time, get you a Lodge cast iron griddle. I have one that fits on my Eureka camp stove really well.

Does it say anywhere in the literature, not to overheat the griddle in fear of ruining the coating?

[@PorkSword_actual]

So if you had to pick between this and the 22” which way are we headed?

[@garretlewis4103]

As someone who carries a 17” Blackstone and a camp stove camping, I was interested when I saw this KZbin suggestion. You had me up until the point you stated it was an aluminum cook surface. Coated surface to me, equates to Teflon. Not good.

[@BenCounterman]

Any suggestions on a carrying bag?

[@maxpower1188]

Aluminum and PFAS no thank you. Go to seasoned steel, and you have an amazing product and a new customer.

[@twohandsandaradio]

Reading the 1 and 2 star comments (totaling 13% of all reviews) mention a lack of quality control. Bubbles in the griddle top, parts breaking after 1 cook, screws stripped. Have you heard anything about that?

[@airgun1974]

the hinges (not really a hinge but the thin plastic around the handle that says blackstone} that hold the handle on are very weak, and are super thin. Broke mine off already lifting it off a table.

[@BBBYpsi]

Excited about these. Problem is which one do you get?

[@praisehisawesomename]

Good question. If it was me personally, and I didn’t work for Blackstone it would be the griddle, because I cook everything on the griddle top. However, there are people who still like to use a skillet for certain things like omelettes. Or, a coffee pot!the trade-off would be a smaller griddle with the combo. Hopefully that helps out out! Thanks for watching.

​@praisehisawesomename That is exactly what I was thinking. Just get the griddle. I have a 17" inch original i've taken in the past with me camping. But this looks more convenient

[@nathanclaytor4083]

Both

[@monicab822]

This great! Compact! Love it!

[@praisehisawesomename]

Thanks for watching!

[@erickaesman4001]

I just picked up the 14" griddle with single burner. Ive seen different videos and am confused. Can I use metal spatulas and scrapers on the griddle or not. Some say teflon or plastic which melts. Which one?

[@LudlowCooks]

I like it Todd I may get one

[@praisehisawesomename]

Thanks for watching, buddy!

[@fordfoto2797]

Ill keep using my cast IRON griddle on top of my Coleman

[@wxdad6256]

Ill pass until the steel griddle comes out. I already have enough of the aluminum non stick junk.

[@Paul_West]

I’d be in 110% if the griddle wasn’t aluminum with non-stick.

[@2010dbtube]

I reached out to Blackstone via email, and they don't know anything about this 14-inch camping model. I could not locate it on the Walmart website either.

[@ShaunGalang]

Awesome video, thanks! I just got the camp griddle with a sign Burner and I have "burning" question - if there isn't already, are they making a bag for these camp griddles?

[@praisehisawesomename]

Hi, Shaun. No bags yet. They are all-inclusive with the suitcase design BUT I can see that you, like me, want to protect it. I just wrap mine in a blanket or towel when in my vehicle. As for the future? Who knows. I'm not involved with development and Blackstone is a large company. I'll be excited to see an additions in the future. Thanks for watching!

[@robh063]

Update: I was able to buy a griddle today 3/2/24 but I'm still looking for the plastic spatula, scraper etc. Every Walmart I have tried shows the two burner full griddle in stock but when I call them, they don't have it in stock. I can find the half griddle with side burner but I'm not interested in that model.

[@kenmartin1919]

Many portable tables have a plastic counter these days. Can you put this griddle on these tables?

[@patrickcobb4483]

What a beautiful piece of work but I am out too due the aluminum.

[@DareDog.]

Watch Todd’s newest video. He talks about it. It’s very safe coating. Ceramic titanium.

[@cedaroakfarm8596]

As always, you are the go to guy to see the new offerings and really get to see the features and benefits. This is also a SUPER item for employee incentive awards through the new Blackstone program. Winner all around.
