Excellent comparison brother! We’ve had so many ask for this, we will definitely send anyone your way to this video - great insights and comparison - like someone pointed out, the Pit Boss is the cook and cleanup with no fuss. Cheers brother!🔥🔥

[@floridawashprosllc6542]

I think we would all love to see your thoughts as well.

[@Keym78]

Regardless of race, religion, or politics, us fellas all unite when it comes to grilling and outdoor cooking! Nice video. Keep up the good work👍🏼 I have a nice portable 22" Blackstone griddle that includes a hood and a stand. I love it. In a few years, I might get a 4 burner from Pit Boss.

[@toddbecker5307]

Actually planning my outdoor kitchen and your reviews are VERY helpful! I'm undecided on the griddle yet.

[@GrillSergeant]

We just bought the Pit Boss griddle and I’m excited to have my husband use it!! Love your review!

[@danfalen7104]

Hey Brother. I thank you for your video on the PB Ultimate. I just bought my first griddle tonight - the PBU 4 burner (shipping pending.) Your video confirms to me that this is a great starter choice for a griddling. I can take it camping, UTV riding, or just in the bed of the truck. The rolled steel units require cleaning and reasoning every time. I'd rather enjoy feeling satiated, from all my work and cooking, then spend the next umteen minutes on cleaning and seasoning the unit itself.

[@anthonyruiz3796]

Want to add a griddle to my BBQ arsenal and was originally looking at the blackstone, but I really like the pitboss and i own a pellet smoker by PitBoss which is amazing thanks for the review

Blackstone does have a lid, and it hooks to the back. That may be a new feature, but it came with the one my son bought. Nice comparison.

[@austinleinen1997]

I feel like being able to use metal utensils is a pretty important for a griddle I wish pit boss gave an option for the ceramic coat or a cast iron top.. maybe even make a cast iron top available as a side purchase

[@OliverLeveritt]

Pit Boss makes griddles with pre-seasoned steel tops, so that's "one up" on the others, since you have to season them. Is anyone even making decent propane griddles with cast iron tops any more?

[@CookingWithCJ]

Gotta love that pic... LOL! Ya done good Sarge!

[@chrisballengee5746]

My concern is over the years especially if you are making Philly cheesesteaks and other food where you chop it in the griddle you are going to crack the ceramic top. With the blackstone that costs the same mine came with the lid and use it the same way. Also came with 2 air fryers and a warming drawer. On the blackstone order matters when I am cooking something sticky like eggs I cook my meat first and use the oil from that. The lift off feature is nice but I am not cooking like that camping most of it is over the fire.

[@NWcpl]

Awesome review. new to this. Pitt boss is for me!

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

So you're saying if I really like cleaning my grills, carrying around a dome, and loading the whole cart and all into my truck before I go offroading I should get a Blackstone, right? [Pic of me clicking on your Pit Boss link frantically trying to buy yet another cooking machine......]. Great review Andrew. Seriously - thanks for making it both fun and informative!

Like the idea of throwing food on the Pit Boss whereas the Blackstone - needs conditioning. Like that with the pit boss goes portable. For outside I would have the Pit Boss - inside I still want the 17" Blackstone. This is so cool Andrew. Stay safe & take care of you all. Thanks for sharing eh:))

[@lits5984]

Great review! I’m about to buy a griddle this spring for my backyard, still undecided but I’ve never liked non stick kitchenware, I like using metal tools on them, with proper heat and oil/butter nothing sticks, you also get more flavour. I can’t use plastic utensils when cooking, feels odd lol. The cleanup for the black stone looks a little tedious though.

[@YarnellCrew]

Love the video. However you must have bought an older version of the Blackstone because I haven't seem one that comes without a fold over top in quite awhile. I know the newer Blackstones also come with a trach bag holder as well. I do love the lift off feature of the Pitboss, and lets be honest who would ever want to try and lift off that rolled steel even if you could do it on the Blackstone :) lol I have had my Blackstone for over 3 years and will maybe take a look at the Pitboss way down the road when my BS bites the dust, but I don't see that happening for years and years to come.

[@SALAMINIZER13]

Agreed. This isn't a true comparison.

[@jluberto3852]

Champ chef for me...they even have a foldable one which is too easy to carry around. You can't use steel utensils on the Pit boss the ceramic coating will eventually scratch and then your screwed.😮

[@RyanJohnson-ft6qi]

The fact that you can take pit boss with you if you want is a plus

[@pville_piper5125]

How is the pit boss holding up? I saw another video where they did a 150 cooks and the top was worn out even though they never used metal utensils and followed the correct cleaning procedures. I have a 28" Blackstone and at the end of the first year we got a lot of rain and I constantly had to fight rust and season it. Now I place the griddle top in a heavy duty garbage bag and bring it in. Since doing this I haven't needed to reseason and is a joy to cook on.

[@waynegholland8605]

My 36"blackstone has legs that fold up under it for transport. As far as the griddle surface goes I never have anything stick to it. I might use a tiny bit of butter a drope of oil or water depending on what I'm cooking. It's very compact for taking anywhere. I also have a grill top for mine. The pitboss legs didn't look like they folded up to take with you if you didn't have a place to put the top on

[@ThomasVMan]

Our local Walmart still has the 36" Blackstone with the metal cover for $297. That's what I paid for ours and we love it. The Pit Boss is very impressive but I'm not a fan of ceramic / teflon coatings as they don't last very long and then there's the health concerns. Either way I will say that cooking on a griddle is a way more fun than a grill.

[@speedstreet2573]

@@GrillSergeant .. Nice. Thank you. One other thing.. I see all kinds of prices on Pit Boss griddles. Up to a couple hundred bucks difference. Have you found this?

[@ColtLuger]

The idea of lifting the Pit Boss up and taking it with you is almost enough of a bonus to go for it, however, my brother has one and I have a rolled steel top and I get a way better sear on my smash burgers. One other note, if you're not cooking your eggs in butter you ain't cooking eggs 😉.

I like to do cheesesteaks and I normally use a couple of metal spatulas to break the meat apart. I'm assuming that Pit Boss doesn't want you to use metal on there griddle?

[@splashluvallover]

So basically it’s the difference between using a nonstick pan vs a cast iron pan. I personally use cast iron pans for almost all my cooking, so I think I’ll go with black stone. Thanks for the comparison!

Hi Grill Sergeant! New subscriber here. I just recently purchased a Blackstone so I could hook it up to natural gas because I read that pitboss was not able to. Do you know if the pitboss can hook up to natural gas?

[@johnm1199]

I am leaning towards the pit boss but with a ceramic surface and using metal tools have you witnessed any chipping like a Teflon coating would do? Thanks

[@GrillSergeant]

I have not.

[@davidunglesbee819]

Great review, but you didn't speak at all about cooking utensils. I noticed you used a traditional, large, spatula on the Blackstone and a smaller, silicon spatula on the Pitboss. I've heard the metal cooking tools can really mess up the ceramic (non stick) surface. Is that true and a problem? If so, can you recommend some decent silicon products. I like to use the larger spatulas, tongs, etc when grilling and when it comes to the silicon versions they often seem flimsy or too flexible to me. I also like to chop some veggies on the grill while cooking like onions and peppers when making cheese steaks (like I see them do in my favorite sub shop or like a hibachi chef might do at a restaurant). Is this going to mess up the non stick?

[@carlpetersen5983]

non-stick is great but how long will that last a year 2 maybe? plus how tuff is that coating

[@apcs222]

Is there an oil recommendation for the ceramic? i want to use whatever is recommended for the cleaning and seasoning/upkeep, thanks

[@OliverLeveritt]

That's the whole point of ceramic: you DO NOT season it. Just use a good grade of hi-temp oil like avocado when cooking -- if you really need to use oil at all. I cook eggs on ceramic all the time with NO oil.

[@trons4u]

Two questions 1. Did the Pit Boss come all dented up like their smokers? 2. What about leveling? Are there any adjustments so you're oil isn't running where you don't want it? I agree the Pit Boss has some things going for it that I like over the BlackStone.

[@GrillSergeant]

1. I ordered the dent free model 2. Mine is level but you can adjust the griddle top if the ground you are is not 100% level.

[@MainahTony]

[@Dr.Unsteady]

I paid $250 for that exact blackstone at Tractor Supply, 3 years ago.

[@tankbulldogge8639]

looking for a new griddle. I notice on the Pit Boss people are using plastic spatulas. Is this because it has a ceramic griddle ? Should you not use metal utensils ? will Metal utensils scratch & ruin the surface ? Wondering how durable the ceramic griddle on the Pit Boss is ? The Pit Boss looks great with the extra features but need to know about the durability.

[@davepete8643]

ALSO -- REMEMBER -- - The Pitboss surface is not 100% ceramic (does not conduct heat and weighs a ton) It is rolled steel coated with a ceramic non-stick surface. Ceramic coatings lifespan is about 1-3 years. High heat is not a friend of any coating, it is recommended low to medium heat cooking to prevent damage.. Chipping can also be an issue. Hopefully, they are using lead-free ceramic coating I am sure they are if it's not coming from China. And MAKE SURE you NEVER use any METAL UTENSILS, scrubbing pads, cooking spray, abrasive cleaners, on the ceramic. Proper care is essential to prevent chipping from occurring; As with any ceramic cookware, if chipping has begun, you will need to STOP USING the cookware for food preparations immediately.. Ceramic non-stick surfaces are good to prevent sticking, but not as non-stick as you think, not as good as Teflon coating. If you could buy new surfaces "reasonably" every few years I might consider one. Maybe you can , I don't know. Also - Compairing it to THAT no hooded low-end Blackstone was kind of deceptive.

And 2 burner looks to small. Heavy wise for traveling. Etc. leaning towards the 3 burner????????

How about comparing with a cook on both at the same time to compare sear ability, flavor etc of say a steak. I'm partial to Blackstone where you get awesome sear and great flavor. I find non stick surfaces dont produce as good as cast iron or steel for flavor on steaks, hamburgers and chicken. The Sierra though I would think would do great for pancakes, grilled cheese, potatoes, veggies and other dishes that work great on a non stick pan or indoor electric griddle. my .02.

Good question. I do most of my indoor cooking in cast iron and stainless steel. I still use silicone utensils. I don't do any chopping in my cookware. It buggers the finish. I use my cookware (indoors and out) for cooking -- not for a lot of chopping, whacking pseudo-showmanship. I have cutting boards for all my cutting. When the cutting boards get wonky, I throw them away and buy more. I never have cut marks, scrapes, or gouges in / on my cookware.
