I got mine yesterday. Drove 80 miles to get it. Worth it. Putting it together now qualifies me for an engineering degree from MIT. Parts are hidden everywhere. Can’t wait to use it with my new 36 inch griddle. Great review. I’m stealing your placement idea. I love the way it sits next to the griddle. Special thanks for the comments on the sink and plumbing. I’ve yet do that part yet. My wife wants to use it for her garden. We may end in divorce. It was a good 40 year run. Thanks for the review.
are you trying to tell me its not healthy to drink from a regular garden hose??? Cuz that was literally my childhood while i was out playing as a kid lol
I called blackstone support and they were very helpful the only part u need is a 1/2” x3/4” swivel garden hose connector from Lowe’s or home depot and some pipe tape just make sure to use tape coming from sink as well as hose connector make sure u tighten both ends tight and I had no leaks sinks works fine
What an awesome setup, love it. Very good video. My wife is not too happy though, I just ordered it online!! Thanks for the walk through and review, was very informative. Thumbs up brother. God bless. 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video thanks michael! I love my prep cart, it makes a nice little outdoor kitchen. It took me and the wife about 3-you're to put together also. But it was worth it. I agree it is a little frustrating that they leave the customer to figure the sink hookup. I haven't even hooked mine up yet. Your video was very helpful to help me get my sink hooked-up. They should include the parts for a complete hookup.
so got this for fathers day love it still need to put it together........ I want a griddle to so could one put a griddle on the prep surface after prepping stuff or would heat destroy it?
@@anthonybacon7073 I watch all Todd's videos, he does a great job. I am pretty sure Mike is on the Blackstone Pro team now. If you have a change check out the Griddle More Tour they have over the summer that Todd Toven does, he is a really nice and genuine guy in person.
Thank you, I bought this a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to figure out the sink. It also took me over three hours to build. I also want an outdoor kitchen and felt that this was the closest I was going to get.
Wow that is amazing thought out each and every nook and cranny on that prep cart! I thought I was the appliance and utensil Queen ....but Alas....you definitely got me beat! Sweeeet set up!
Cool video. I’m also in a similar situation with setting up my outdoor kitchen. Blackstones in my opinion are the best in quality and price compared to some the high dollar brands with their ceramic griddles. I’ve worked with flattop griddles for over 20 years and I love my Blackstones. I have two currently. Good info Sir.
Nice job on the walkthrough pretending to your leaking sink check and see if your gasket inside your hose is broke or too hard and put some thread tape on the threads where the hose connects to that's my suggestions
@micheal greenlee check to make sure there is a rubber washer in the end of the hose where it connects to the fitting. as far as i can see the fitting should be good.
Love your videos, finally get to hear you talk! Absolutely love cooking videos how you just throw stuff on griddle and just say little. That is what made me subscribe to your channel. Keep up the outstanding videos!
Looks like it might be missing the rubber washer between the hose end and brass. If that doesn’t work a dishwasher connection kit should have all the pieces to connect, but you might loose some water volume due to reducing to a 3/8” supply line.
Michael, please help me Obi Won. What is the plumbing piece you got to make the faucet connect to the garden hose? I’ve been to Lowe’s twice to find brand new associates each time. Twice came home with the wrong part. What specifically is the part you used. Thank you for your videos and insight. You’re my only hope. Jim
the only part u need is a 1/2” x3/4” swivel garden hose connector from Lowe’s or home depot and some pipe tape just make sure to use tape coming from sink as well as hose connector make sure u tighten both ends tight
You may want to attach a quick release attachment to the hose to undrr sink faucet... so you can move it easily. A cutoff connector would be a good option. Lastly, depending on where it drains, you could just connect it to a Home Depot bucket w lid ( run drain through lid).
Like and garden hose adapter, is the rubber grommet in there between the hose end and adapter fitting. Same basic connection as connecting a hose to a sprinkler. Need to grommet to smash between the 2 ends. Only need Teflon tape on pipe threads. Sink side to the adapter.
I have mine connected using pvc water pipe (similar to the way your kitchen sink looks s plumed) and it runs to the outdoor water Spicket with a dedicated pressure valve. It’s on 24x7 however there is 0 pressure iuntil you turn the sink on for water. No leaks and works like a indoor facet with excellent water pressure
Look for a dishwasher connection kit for the sink. These kits have a standard hose bib connection on one end and a pipe thread connection on the other ... worked perfect on mine.

Yes u can ..👍all good no worries about the heat from the bottom of griddle on the stainless top that was my first thought too if u wanted to use it as a stand for a 22 inch or the 17..it's actually stated in the manual book and on box so.ewhere says recommended for use with those which you would then turn into your complete griddle combo set up..gives a custom different lookin type model of its own!very nice I already had the pro series griddle and got the pro series cart to match and complete the outdoor look set up and my brother has the original prep cart storage that's the black orange model with stainless top and got a new adventure ready 22inch black with orange knobs to put on top of cart as stand a d looks awesome !!
Big Blackstone fan,...and also use one on my channel. The only bad design thing about this prep table is they have the magnetic strip (which is going to be used primarily for holding knives) is above the trash bag holder. Reaching under sharp knives can be slightly hazardous. Also,...contaminated stuff,..chicken blood chances of touching other hand tools if not knives .....great video,..great info!
If there is supposed to be a gasket in those hose fittings and it's missing then that's why you have a leak, you have fittings that the threads dont match or your fittings arent tight enough.
Plumber here. You should have the supply directly plumbed into your system and a water stop installed at your wall, like you would see under your kitchen sink. Then use a faucet supply line to connect water stop to the faucet. You would also want a shut off valve in the house to winterize the faucet. The drain should be pvc with a trap and vent then directly plumbed to your sanitary. Trap should have a drain to winterize and plug for the sink to keep in sewer gas while winterized. Time consuming and costly but, this is the "code" way of doing it.
@@joshweinstein5843 I used a 5 foot 1/2" to 1/2" water supply line and a female to 1/2" hose adapter for the water supply line for the sink faucet. Then I used a piece o 3/4" clear hose for the drain right to the sink drain and clamped with a zip tie. TH-cam doesn't let you insert pics in the reply or I would.
Nice review of the prep table. Just my opinion it should not have taking three hours to assemble most people said the same thing about the pro series griddle. I put mine together in about 45 minutes.
I assembled mine yesterday and took about the same time. I'm pretty handy with tools after spending time as a helicopter mechanic. There are a lot of pieces. It is easy; just a lot. It is far more involved than assembling the 36" griddle with Air fryer. I'm curious to see how much/little the unit leaks. FYI the box is big/heavy and requires a fairly good sized space to unbox and lay out. Great review & thanks!

What stuff you got around your grill??
Good question I’ll do a video for it

Would love it if you could find it anywhere, you are famous for that
Great video, thank you.
why can't i find this item in NJ i've checked walmart nothing comes up not even on Blackstone website
Keep checking the website to your local walmart. I just picked up the airfryer combo and this prep cart yesterday..
I like it wish they would just do away with the sink and replace with cutting board......But it looks good bud....

Thanks for the advice. I have since moved on from this unit.
@@blackstonecookingwhat was your reasoning for ditching this unit?
@@motorhead4663 it just didn’t hold enough, my space needs outgrew it. And frankly it just didn’t hold up to the extreme Texas weather.
What is the black knob next to the faucet for?
Black knob? There is a small rubber stopper for the drain
@@blackstonecooking Thought it might be for a soap dispenser.
@@blackstonecooking Were did you find info on the sink, been trying to look for it.....
@@joshweinstein5843 I didn’t find anything specific, I kept searching for outdoor sink hook ups.

It shows it as black in color but it is a steel grey. Has anyone else noticed this?
To my family members ...it’s the gift that keeps on giving ....Mothers Day is coming up (hint hint)
The plumbers tape is more than likely threaded incorrectly. That is what I saw on other videos.
Did anyone find a cover that will fit this cart?
I bet the 22 inch cover will fit
Take the original part go to lowes get adapter put two way adapter
go to your local hardware store tell them you need a gasket or Oring for your garden hose
I want one so bad
thanks
Where can this be purchased?
They are exclusive to Walmart right now. Slowly being rolled out in stores for spring.
Looks like you have lots of room to build your own outdoor kitchen.
