[@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.

I literally was going to buy one tomorrow. Thank you for sharing this video. As soon as I found out it was aluminum I’m out. You just save me some money I’ll stick with my 22 until they come out with this version that has a cast-iron griddle.

[@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.

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.

Hey Todd those griddles are awesome. We went to Wisconsin in October and I had just purchased the 22" to take with us. We cooked on it every day for a week. What a great item from Blackstone, which I wouldn't expect anything less. I highly recommend this to anyone that likes camping and road trips.

[@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

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.

[@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!

[@scottmiller6069]

RDTRPN1 Bought mine (14" camping Griddle with side burner) a couple days ago along with the "Griddle Leg Kit". As a weekend day tripper, I am compact stow and go. Once assembled, The Griddle Leg KIt does have: press lever telescoping legs with ball/socket locking mechanisms to frame. (No tool needed to breakdown legs from frame for stow and go). To couple the "Griddle Leg Kit" to the Blackstone camping stove, you will need to adjust (Screwdriver required) the frame that the legs attach to so the stove will fit the frame. (Depending on stove, not tough) DOWNER: You will need to remove the nice adjustable footings from the stove to enable attachment of stove to "Griddle Leg Kit", using the screws provided. The stand is sturdy. I came close to returning the stand to WalMart but decided to modify the stand to better suit my needs. The cast aluminum coated griddle is a no brainer, as it is lighter of weight, heats fast and I plan not to abuse my understanding the griddle's surface. (I will cook harder on my home Blackstone)

[@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. Campchef knows how to do burners.

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).

Just took it camping and it sailed with flying colors! Now that I see these are unavailable (no longer for sale) I am so glad I own this unicorn and it will be with me on EVERY TRIP! It is NOT supposed to be a cast iron heavy Blackstone, its supposed to be a nonstick griddle but it is a little of both and I made burgers, eggs, bacon, etc and it cleaned up in literal SECONDS!!! This thing rules!!!!

[@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.

[@domnantadventures7163]

I bought one immediately, so took it home and opened it. The lid was missing the screw/nut holding the lid so it would just fall open, we returned it. Got another one. Second one had a piece of metal just fall off, no idea where it went, on top of the non stick surface scratched just moving a piece of cardboard on it. Not all the way through the coating but you could clearly see where I placed one of the pieces on it while I moved things around. I also picked up the folding griddle press which as soon as we washed it another screw/nut fell off of it. I also wanted to add how heavy it was, I might as well just get the 17" regular steel one. It's a great idea and we really wanted to use it for camping but the quality control unfortunately broke our spirit. Maybe once they fix this and improve on the non stick coating to be a little more durable we will give it another try.

[@waredskinfan]

I purchased the 22 inch griddle for our first camping trip in April. Heats up very fast and worked wonderfully. However, while picking it up to put in the storage unit of the travel trailer the handle came loose on the left side. Fortunately my left arm kept me from dropping it. The left handle bracket was loose from the factory. In order to tighten I will have to practically disassemble the burners and the cover plate. Not cool.

[@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!

1st , where you hiding the beanie hat you have on? can't find one. 2nd this looks like a nice light weight portable griddle. As an owner of a 36" and a 22" you haven't gone wrong yet. Not a hater of aluminum so might give this a go.

[@Cmtinker]

I saw an empty shelf space for a "Blackstone Coffee Kit" when I bought mine. Any info on that?

[@ctrlnull7228]

TAKE MY MONEY! I switched from blackstone to a skottle. I've been wanting to switch back. This may be the solution. I really wanted a more practical portable solution. Great job Blackstone. MK1 will be great to test

[@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.

[@kylelarpenter4724]

Any black stone is a camping griddle if you can get it there

[@tylermcbride1926]

Do you know what the BTU’s of just the stove alone ?? The website just has the combined BTU’s

[@erwinkrabbenhoft5502]

I have a 17 in and a 22 in Blackstone. The smaller one is for camping. The bigger one is for home use.

[@fscottgray9784]

Even a 17 cast is pretty heavy for portable camping setup. This fits the bill by eliminating the need for skillets and also has a burner for coffee pot or cooking pot. My son lucked out and grabbed 2 at walmart and also grabbed the spatula kits with them. One for each of us.

[@airgun1974]

what was the price on them?

[@fscottgray9784]

@@airgun1974 walmart had them advertised for $150 but when he showed up they were only $140

[@SB-li8lz]

Couple of notes: first, for RV/camper folks looking for a low-pressure compatible stove, this is the bees knees! The low-pressure quick connect adapters for the 17/22 griddles also work with this! Second, I can confirm that the quality control is a little dodgy. Mine was missing a 4mm nut on one of the latches, and had two loose screws in the box (pretty sure I found where they belonged). I'm a little leery of the coating on the griddle holding up just based on the other qc issues; if Blackstone wants to make longterm customers they will make replacement griddles (14" & 20") available for purchase asap. Would go a long way to assuaging concerns for early adopters.

[@2010dbtube]

I spoke with a sales representative at Blackstone. These units are Walmart exclusive only. Blackstone can not provide availability, etc. only Walmart. hope this helps folks looking to purchase .

[@ccwstraightshooter9761]

Big miss here. If they would have made it with Carbon steel or cast iron that would have been perfect. So bummed out. Cast Aluminum? Really?? Come on guys.

[@kckettridge]

My guess is they are trying to make it as light as possible for camping. I have a CampChef triple stove with the cast iron griddle and bbq box accessories and that damn thing weighs a ton.

[@twohandsandaradio]

Then just get a 17" griddle and try to lug that beast around. This is a camping griddle. Think about space and weight first. The cooking part is almost secondary. Everything I know of camping wise is small and light weight.

[@kckettridge]

@@twohandsandaradio It stays in the shed and we use our CharBroil Infrared Grill. Small, lightweight great for the two of us.

[@adamthompson7064]

100% agree. Was about to semi- impulse buy one but the non-stick aluminum stopped me dead. Nope. Maybe they will rethink or offer an optional cast iron or steel griddle.

[@adamthompson7064]

​@@kckettridgecamping how? I don't think any backpackers are going to haul ANYTHING this big just to cook. This is aimed at car campers; people that park and walk their gear a short distance.

[@benjaminjmace]

Will they make an adaptor for larger propane tanks? I hate the flimsy 1# piece on my current camp stove.

[@DareDog.]

They have an adapter

[@davidoliver2826]

Yep, like a lot of others, I don’t want aluminum. Make it steel and I will one one for each of my camping kids

[@barrycarlafriesen7898]

Perfect!...except for the coated aluminum. Hopefully they come out with the steel as a option!

[@LoveShackBBQ]

These just make Sense. When you’re trying to keep the weight down in a camper and still bring the best food to your family. Light and compact. Perfect.

[@twohandsandaradio]

Finally someone gets it.

[@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.

[@josephhartman2343]

No aluminum for me. They do look nice however.
